OPERATION

Starting the Engine

Before starting the engine, always refer to all safety warnings pertaining to
snowmobile operation. Never start your snowmobile without checking all
components to be sure of proper operation. See page 50.
Do not depress the throttle until the engine starts.
1. Turn the key to the ON position.
2. Pull the engine stop switch up to the RUN position.
3. Carbureted models: Turn the fuel
valve on. If the engine is cold, flip the
choke toggle to FULL ON before
cranking. After the engine starts, flip
the toggle to the OFF position. If the
engine slows or wants to stop, use
intermittent choking to the HALF
ON position.
NOTE:
If the engine does not start after sev-
eral attempts, slightly depress the
throttle while cranking the engine.
When the engine starts, immediately
release the throttle.
4. Turn the key to START to crank the engine. Release the key to the
ON position when the engine starts. If not equipped with electric
start, grasp the starter handle and pull slowly until the recoil
engages; then pull abruptly to crank the engine.
5. Repeat the cranking procedure as needed until the engine starts.
NOTE:
It may require as many as eight to ten pulls to prime the fuel system
and start the engine if the fuel tank has been completely emptied.
Don't pull the starter rope to the fully extended position and don't allow it to
snap back into the housing. Damage may result. To avoid injury and/or
engine damage, do not operate the electric starter or pull-rope starter while
the engine is running.
