OPERATION
Starting the Engine
The starter interlock system allows the engine to be started only when the clutch is
disengaged (clutch pedal fully depressed).
NOTE: If the vehicle runs out of fuel, prime the system before attempting to restart the engine. See
page 41.
1. If this is your first time operating the SLINGSHOT, read and understand the following
sections of this manual before starting the engine:
2. Perform the Pre-Ride Inspections. See page 36.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch. Turn the key to the ON position. You should hear
the fuel pump run momentarily as it pressurizes the fuel system.
4. Release the park brake.
5. Depress the clutch pedal fully to
disengage the clutch.
6. Press and release the one-touch
starter switch to start the engine.

or the low oil pressure indicator
illuminates after the engine starts,
stop the engine immediately. Refer

oil pressure indicator information on
page 23.

engine to idle. Idle speed will
gradually slow to normal as the
