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 start-
ing 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 remove 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 engine
continues to flood, see an authorized
Bombardier ATV dealer.
Engine Overheat
If engine overheats and indicator light turns
on, try the following:
Check and clean radiator fins. See MAINTE-
NANCE section.
WARNING
The radiator can be very hot, wear gloves
before touching radiator.
Turn Over
When vehicle is turned over or stays tilted on
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 refill if necessary. If the oil pressure light
stays ON after starting engine, stop engine
and see an authorized Bombardier ATV deal-
er as soon as possible.
Reduce vehicle speed but try to keep vehicle
moving to supply air to radiator. If engine is
still overheating after approximately one
minute, stop vehicle and set transmission to
PARK. Stop engine.
Place the ignition switch to ON position (DO
NOT RESTART ENGINE YET). The radiator
fan will cool the radiator.
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 environ-
ment (beach area, launching/loading boats
etc.), rinsing the vehicle with fresh water is
necessary to preserve vehicle and its compo-
nents. Metallic parts lubrication is highly rec-
ommended. Use BOMBARDIER LUBE
(P/N 293 600 016). This must be performed
at the end of each operating day.
When vehicle is operated in muddy condi-
tions, rinsing the vehicle is recommended 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 garden hose). High pressure
can cause electrical or mechanical damages.
ATV Immersion
Should the ATV become immersed, it will be
necessary to take it to an authorized
Bombardier ATV dealer as soon as possible.
DO NOT START THE ENGINE! Immersion of
the ATV can cause serious damage if the cor-
rect re-start procedure is not followed.
