OPERATION

Emergency Starting

1. Always wear eye protection when jump starting your vehicle.
2. Keep bystanders away from the vehicles.
3. Perform the emergency starting procedure in a well-ventilated area.
4. Position the vehicles close enough for the jumper cables to reach

easily between the batteries, but do not allow the vehicles to touch

each other.

5. Lock the parking brakes on both vehicles to prevent accidental

movement.

6. Open the hood and remove the left side panel.
7. Decide which of the jumper cables will be positive (usually red or

yellow) and which will be negative (usually black).

WARNING! Never connect a jumper cable to the fuel system or fuel lines.

8. Pull back the red plastic boot covering the positive terminal of the

weak battery. Connect one end of the positive jumper cable to the

positive terminal of the weak battery.

9. Connect the other end of the positive jumper cable to the positive

terminal of the charged battery.

NOTICE: Make sure that the end of the negative cable by the weak battery is

not contacting the snowmobile battery or chassis.

10. Connect the other negative end of the jumper cable to the negative

terminal of the charged battery.

11. Connect the end of the negative jumper cable by the weak battery to

the CHASSIS of the snowmobile. There may be a small spark when

this is done, but this is normal.

NOTICE: Always be sure that the jumper cables do not interfere with the belts,

pulleys or clutches on either vehicle.
