OPERATION
Starting a Warm Engine
Warm engines do not normally require the use of the choke. Excessive use of the choke
can cause the spark plug to become wet fouled.
1. Place the transmission in neutral and lock the parking brake.
2. Turn the fuel tank valve on, sit on the vehicle, and turn the engine stop switch to RUN.
3. Disengage the clutch and press the start button to start the engine.
NOTE: If the engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily start, intermittent use
of the choke button (pulled half way out) may be neces sary.
NOTE: If you believe the engine is over-choked when warm, push the choke lever
completely in and depress the throttle lever fully while cranking to aid in starting. Release
the throttle lever immediately after the engine starts.
4. If the engine does not start, review the engine troubleshooting information beginning
on page 167. If all conditions are favorable and the engine still does not start, see your
Polaris dealer for service.
