Emergency Starting Procedure
Your machine comes with a tool kit containing essential tools for emergency use.
In the event the recoil starter system should fail, take the emergency start strap
from the kit and proceed as follows:
1. Open clutch guard.
2. Push on the inner sheave
of the secondary clutch and
rotate clockwise slightly to
relieve belt tension. This
allows for easier starting.
3. Starting at one of the tower
struts, wind the strap
counterclockwise around
the clutch as shown.
WARNING
Do not wind the strap around your hand. Severe injury could result.
4. Pull the strap using a sharp, crisp pull so the strap comes free of the clutch.
CAUTION:
Keep all people clear of the snowmobile when using the emergency starting proce-
dure.
