Starting the Engine
After the Engine Starts
1. If the engine slows or stops, use of the choke at half way in will
allow proper engine warm up.
2. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up
until the engine idles smoothly. Then push the choke all the way
in.
Cold Weather Operation - 4 Cycle Engines
Polaris offers the following kits for cold weather operation: Oil Tank
Cover, Engine Heater and Oil Tank Heater. These kits reduce moisture
accumulation in the oil tank when the ATV is operated in freezing
temperatures.
If you use your ATV all year round, it is important to check your oil
level frequently. A rising oil level could indicate the accumulation of
water in the bottom of the oil tank. Water in the bottom of the tank can
lead to engine damage and must be drained.
Water accumulation increases as outside temperature decreases.
The cold weather kits not only reduce moisture accumulation, but the
heaters provide quicker warm-ups and easier starting.
See your dealer for more information on cold weather operation and
what kit will work best for your driving habits.
