OPERATION

Emergency Starting

If the battery is too weak to start the engine, and a battery charger is not

available, the engine can be started using jumper cables and a charged

battery from another vehicle. Carefully read and follow the instructions

on the following pages.

NOTE:

If a car or truck battery will be used to jump start the snowmobile, turn

the engine off. A running engine will put out too much electrical current

for the snowmobile battery.

NOTE:

Never attempt to jump start a discharged battery that is frozen.

WARNING

Improperly connecting or disconnecting jumper cables can result in an explo-

sion and cause serious injury or death. When connecting jumper cables,

always connect the negative (usually black) cable last. When removing

jumper cables, always disconnect the negative (usually black) cable first.

WARNING

Loose-fitting clothing can get caught in the engine when the vehicle is run-

ning with the hood open. This can cause serious injury or death. Remove or

control all items that could catch in the engine, including scarves, gloves,

jackets and clothing straps and hooks.
