gloves when cleaning the spark
plug holes.

new spark plugs if possible or clean
and dry spark plugs.

gine continues to flood, see an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer.

Engine Overheat

play.

tor. If engine is still overheating after

before starting engine.
Before starting engine, check engine
oil level and refill if necessary. If the oil
pressure light stays ON after starting

rized Bombardier ATV dealer as soon
