Ensure the transmission is in NEUTRAL or
squeeze the clutch lever.
Fully press throttle lever and hold while start-
ing the engine. Try several times.
As soon as the engine starts, release throttle

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 news spark plugs if possible.
Start engine as explained above. If engine

Bombardier ATV dealer.

Engine Overheat

engine. Check RED engine indicator lamp af-
ter restarting the engine. If lamp stays ON af-
ter restarting the engine, stop it. Air bubbles
