Emergency Starting - Polaris FS IQ Touring Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Emergency Starting

If the battery is too weak to start the engine, and a battery charger is not
available, the engine can be started using jumper cables and a charged
battery from another vehicle. Carefully read and follow the instructions
on the following pages.
Improperly connecting or disconnecting jumper cables can result in an explo-
sion and cause serious injury or death. When connecting jumper cables,
always connect the negative (usually black) cable last. When removing
jumper cables, always disconnect the negative (usually black) cable first.
Loose-fitting clothing can get caught in the engine when the vehicle is run-
ning with the hood open. This can cause serious injury or death. Remove or
control all items that could catch in the engine, including scarves, gloves,
jackets and clothing straps and hooks.
NOTICE: If a car or truck battery will be used to jump start the snowmobile, turn
the engine off. A running engine will put out too much electrical current
for the snowmobile battery.
Never attempt to jump start a discharged battery that is frozen.
