Engine Overheat

Check and clean radiator fins. See MAINTE-
NANCE section.
WARNING
The radiator can be very hot, wear gloves
before touching it.

moving to supply air to radiator. If engine is
still overheating after approximately one
minute, stop vehicle and set transmission to
PARK. Stop engine.

fan will cool the radiator.

and refill if possible.

the side, replace the vehicle in its normal op-
erating position (on all four wheels) and wait
3 to 5 minutes before starting engine. Before
starting engine, check engine oil level and re-
fill if necessary. If the oil pressure light stays
ON after starting engine, stop engine and see
an authorized Bombardier ATV dealer as
