SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Flooded Engine

fuel flooded. Proceed as follows.
Turn ignition switch to ON and ensure
choke is not applied.
Ensure the transmission is in NEU-
TRAL or squeeze the clutch lever.
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).
WARNING
Always wear eye protector and
gloves when the spark plug hole
is cleaned.
Crank engine several times. Install
clean dry spark plugs or new 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 engine indica-
tor lamp (red) comes ON, try the fol-
lowing:
Check oil level in oil tank and refill if
necessary.
Ensure radiator is not obstructed.
Check and clean radiator fins. See
MAINTENANCE section.
The radiator can be very hot, wear
gloves to touch the radiator.

it moving to supply air to radiator. If

imately one minute, stop vehicle and
set transmission to NEUTRAL. Apply

5 minutes before starting the engine.
Check RED engine indicator lamp after
restarting the engine. If lamp stays
ON after restarting the engine, stop it.
