SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Flooded Engine

Quest MAX and Traxter MAX Series
When the engine does not start after
several attempts, the engine may be
fuel flooded. Proceed as follows.
Turn ignition switch to ON and ensure
choke is not applied.
Ensure the transmission lever is on
PARK.
Fully press throttle lever and hold while
starting the engine.
As soon as the engine starts, release
throttle lever. Do not race engine.
If it does not work:
Disconnect the ignition coil or unplug
the spark plug cables.
Clean the ignition coil or the spark
plugs area then remove spark plug(s)
(tools are supplied in tool box).
WARNING
Always wear eye protector and
gloves when the spark plug hole
is cleaned.
Crank engine several times. Add a
small quantity of engine oil in cylinder
(equivalent to a cap of oil quart). Install
new spark plug(s) if possible or clean
and dry spark plug(s).
Start engine as explained above. If en-
gine continues to flood, see an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer.

Engine Overheat

Quest MAX and Traxter MAX Series
If engine overheats and indicator light
turns on, try the following:
Ensure air ducts are not obstructed.
Check and clean radiator fins. See MAIN-
TENANCE section.
WARNING
The radiator can be very hot; wear
gloves before touching radiator.
Reduce vehicle speed but try to keep
vehicle moving to supply air to radiator.
If engine is still overheating after ap-
proximately one minute, stop vehicle
and set transmission to PARK. Stop en-
gine.
Place the ignition switch to ON posi-
tion (DO NOT RESTART ENGINE
YET). The radiator fan will cool the ra-
diator.
Let engine cool down. Check coolant
level and refill if possible.
WARNING
Never refill cooling system when
engine is hot.
See an authorized Bombardier ATV
dealer as soon as possible.

Turn Over

tilted on the side, replace the vehicle in
its normal operating position (on all four
wheels) and wait 3 to 5 minutes before
starting engine. Before starting engine,
check engine oil level and refill if nec-
essary. If the oil pressure light stays
ON after starting engine, stop engine
and see an authorized Bombardier ATV
dealer as soon as possible.
