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 counterclockwise
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 air box and 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.
