OPERATION
Emergency Starting
If the recoil starter system fails, an emergency start strap is provided in
the tool kit.
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the left side panel.
3. Using the belt removal tool,
follow the directions on the
air box to relieve belt tension.
4. Starting at one of the tower
struts, wind the strap counter-
clockwise around the clutch
as shown.
5. Pull the strap abruptly so the strap comes free of the clutch while
starting the engine. Repeat until the engine starts.
6. Reinstall the side panel.
7. Close and secure the hood.
WARNING
Serious injury can result from wrapping the start strap around your hand
while using the emergency starting procedure. DO NOT wrap the start strap
around your hand. Keep all bystanders and loose clothing away from the
snowmobile when using the emergency starting procedure.
