Warm Engine Starting; Emergency Manual Starting - BOMBARDIER Quest Max 2004 Operator's Manual

NOTE: On Traxter MAX series, when
the temperature is below - 15°C (5°F),
the primer kit (P/N 703 500 045) instal-
lation is recommended. See an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer.
Press the start/stop switch or the start
button and hold until engine starts.
CAUTION: Do not hold start/stop
switch or start button more than 30
seconds. A rest period should be ob-
served between the cranking cycles
to let starter cool down. Pay atten-
tion to battery; do not discharge it.
NOTE: The throttle can be use to help
starting the engine faster. Press the
throttle lever slightly. If it is pressed
too much, the choke system will not
be activated.
Release start/stop switch or start button
immediately when engine has started.
After a few seconds, move the choke
lever from full choke position to an in-
termediate position until a best engine
RPM is achieved.
NOTE: Over using choke may flood
engine and make it hard to start. Refer
to SPECIAL PROCEDURES if this oc-
curs.
When the engine is warm, push the
choke lever to OFF and release brakes.

to OFF.
