SPECIAL PROCEDURES

Flooded Engine

When the engine does not start after

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.

WARNING
The radiator can be very hot; wear

cle and set transmission to PARK. Stop

Place the ignition switch to ON posi-
tion (DO NOT RESTART ENGINE YET).
The radiator fan will cool the radiator.
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

When vehicle is turned over or stays
tilted on the side, replace the vehi-
cle in its normal operating position (on
all four wheels) and wait 3 to 5 min-
utes before starting engine. Before
starting engine, check engine oil level
and refill if necessary. If the oil pres-
sure light stays ON after starting en-
gine, stop engine and see an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer as soon
as possible.

ATV Immersion

Should the ATV become immersed,
it will be necessary to take it to an
authorized Bombardier ATV dealer as
soon as possible. DO NOT START
THE ENGINE! Immersion of the ATV
can cause serious damage if the cor-
rect restart procedure is not followed.
