Recoil Housing - Polaris Sportsman 400 Service Manual

RECOIL HOUSING

S Drain the housing periodically to remove moisture.
S Drain the recoil housing after operating the ATV in
very wet conditions. This should also be done before
storing the ATV. The drain screw is located at the bot-
tom of the recoil housing. Remove the screw with a
10mm wrench. Reinstall screw once housing has
been drained.
S CAUTION: Make sure the manual start handle is ful-
ly seated on the recoil housing, especially when trav-
elling in wet areas. If it is not sealed properly, water
may enter the recoil housing and damage compo-
nents.
S Water will enter the recoil housing if the starter handle
is disengaged from the rope guide when under water.
S After travelling in wet areas the recoil housing and
starter should always be drained completely by re-
moving the recoil.
S Do not open the crankcase drain unless the engine
has ingested water. Some engine oil will be lost if
crankcase drain is opened.
S If recoil handle seal has been damaged, the handle
shopuld be replaced.
