NOTE: Turn the fuel valve to the "PRI"
position when the engine is hard to
start below freezing point. Return the
fuel valve to "ON" or "RES" after start-
ing the engine.
 WARNING
Leaving the fuel valve in the "PRI"
position when the engine is off
can be hazardous.
The carburetor may overflow and
fuel may run into the engine. This
can cause a fire or cause severe
damage to the ATV when you start
the engine.
Always leave the fuel valve in the
"ON" or "RES" position when the
engine is not running.
If the ambient temperature is at or
above 5°C (40°F):
1. Move the choke lever halfway to
the ENGAGE position halfway.
2. Push the electric starter button or
use the recoil starter as described
above to start the engine.
3. When the engine is sufficiently
warmed up, move the choke lever
to the "OFF" position.
NOTE: If the ambient temperature is
above 20°C (68°F), operation of the
choke is not necessary to start the
engine. Operation of the choke can
make the engine hard to start due to
too rich fuel/air mixture.
When the Engine is Warm:
Operation of the carburetor choke
system should not be necessary.
Open the throttle slightly and push the
electric starter button or use the recoil
starter as described above to start the
engine.
NOTE: Operation of the choke is not
necessary to start the engine. Opera-
tion of the choke can make the engine
hard to start due to too rich fuel/air
mixture.
CAUTION
Engaging the starter motor for
more than five seconds at a time
can damage the ATV.
The starter motor and wiring har-
ness may overheat.
If the engine does not start after
several tries, check the fuel supply
and ignition system.
 WARNING
Running your ATV indoors where
there is little or no ventilation can
be hazardous.
When breathed in, exhaust gases
from the ATV can cause death or
severe injury.
Always run your ATV outdoors
where there is fresh air.
