Ensure the transmission lever is in
PARK.
Fully press throttle lever and hold
while starting the engine. Try several
times.
As soon as the engine starts, release
throttle lever. Do not race engine.
If it does not work:
Disconnect spark plug cables.
Clean the spark plug area then remove
spark plugs (tools are supplied in tool
box).
Crank engine several times. Install
clean dry spark plugs if possible.
Start engine as explained above. If en-
gine continues to flood, see an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer.
Engine Overheat
If engine overheats and indicator light
starts to flash, try the following:
Ensure air ducts are not obstructed.
Check radiator fins. See Maintenance
section.
Reduce vehicle speed but try to keep
vehicle moving to supply air to radia-
tor. If engine is still overheating after
approximately one minute, stop vehi-
cle and set transmission to PARK. Suc-
cessively apply and remove choke a
few times while varying throttle posi-
tion. Then, fully apply choke and stop
engine.
Inspect radiator area and clean as nec-
essary. Check coolant level and refill if
possible.
Let engine cool down.
See an authorized Bombardier ATV
dealer as soon as possible.
Post-Operation Care
When vehicle is used in salt-water en-
vironment (beach area, launching/
loading boats etc.), rinsing the vehicle
with fresh water is necessary to pre-
serve vehicle and its components.
Metallic parts lubrication is highly rec-
ommended. Use BOMBARDIER LUBE.
This must be performed at the end of
each operating day.
When vehicle is operated in muddy
conditions, rinsing the vehicle is rec-
ommended to preserve vehicle and its
components and to keep lights clean.
Emergency Shifter
If the shifting system is not operation-
al, you may use the emergency
shifter. It allows to change the trans-
mission gear when the vehicle is not
in motion. You set the desired gear
once then go back home while the
transmission remains in this gear. No
gear change can take place since the
shifting system is not operational. The
shifter shaft end is located on rear side
of engine.
Place transmission on PARK position.
Remove seat.
– Use the special key in the tool box
to rotate the emergency shifter.
Open the tab of the tool approxi-
mately at a right angle (90°). Insert
the screwdriver included in the tool
box at the end of the special tool so
that it can be used as a handgrip.
