Recoil Starter - Polaris Trail Boss 9921784 Owner's Manual

Recoil Starter

If the battery is too weak to start
the engine, use the recoil starter.
Follow the starting procedures on
page 41, cranking the engine with
the recoil starter instead of the
main key switch.
1. Grasp the recoil starter rope
handle tightly.
2. Pull slowly so you can feel the
engine strokes.
Tip: The rope will be harder to pull when the engine is on a compression stroke.
When a compression stroke is found, continue pulling the rope just until the
engine rolls past the stroke, then stop pulling immediately.
3. Allow the recoil rope to rewind into the recoil assembly, then pull
the rope abruptly and forcefully to start the engine.
4. Repeat all steps until the engine starts.
5. Make sure the handle is fully seated on the housing.
NOTICE: Extending the recoil starter rope until it stops can cause damage to
the recoil assembly. Do not extend the starter rope so far that it stops.
If the starter rope handle is not seated properly, water may enter the
recoil housing and damage components. Make sure the handle is
fully seated on the recoil housing, especially when traveling in wet
areas.
