Emergency Starting - Polaris 340 Touring Owner's Manual

Emergency Starting

Your machine is equipped with a tool kit containing essential tools for
emergency use. Snowmobiles equipped with electric start have a recoil
for emergency starting. On non-electric-start models, if the recoil starter
system fails, an emergency start strap is provided in the kit.
1. Open the hood.
2. Open the clutch guard.
3. Push on the inner sheave of
the clutch and rotate clock-
wise slightly to relieve belt
tension.
4. Starting at one of the tower
struts, wind the strap counter-
clockwise around the clutch
as shown.
Serious injury can result from wrapping the start strap around your hand
while using the emergency starting procedure. DO NOT wrap the start strap
around your hand. Keep all bystanders and loose clothing away from the
snowmobile when using the emergency starting procedure.
5. Pull the strap abruptly so the strap comes free of the clutch while
starting the engine. Repeat until the engine starts.
6. Close the clutch guard.
7. Close and secure the hood.
