SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Flooded Engine

When the engine does not start after
several attempts, the engine may be
fuel flooded. Proceed as follows.
Turn ignition switch to ON and ensure
choke is not applied.
Ensure the transmission lever is on
PARK.
Fully press throttle lever and hold
while starting the engine.
As soon as the engine starts, release
throttle lever. Do not race engine.
If it does not work:
Clean the spark plug cap area then re-
move it. Remove the spark plug (tools
are supplied in tool box).
WARNING
Always wear eye protector and
gloves when cleaning the spark
plug hole.
Crank engine several times. Add a
small quantity of engine oil in cylinder
(equivalent to a cap of oil quart). Install
new spark plug if possible or clean and
dry spark plug.
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
turns on, try the following:
Check and clean radiator fins. See
MAINTENANCE section.

gloves before touching it.

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. Stop
engine.
Place the ignition switch to ON po-
sition (DO NOT RESTART ENGINE
YET) . The radiator fan will cool the ra-
diator.
Let engine cool down. Check coolant
level and refill if possible.
WARNING
Never refill cooling system when
engine is hot.
See an authorized Bombardier ATV
dealer as soon as possible.

Post-Operation Care

When vehicle is used in salt-water
environment (beach area,
ing/loading boats etc.), rinsing the ve-
hicle with fresh water is necessary to
preserve vehicle and its components.
Metallic parts lubrication is highly
recommended. Use BOMBARDIER
LUBE (P/N 293 600 016) or an equiv-
alent. 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.
NOTE:
Never use a high pressure
washer to clean the vehicle. USE
LOW PRESSURE ONLY (like a gar-
den hose) . High pressure can cause
electrical or mechanical damages.
