OPERATION Starting the Engine 10. Activate the starter for a maximum of five seconds, releasing the button when the engine starts. NOTICE: Operating the vehicle immediately after starting could cause engine damage. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before operating the vehicle. 11. If the engine does not start, release the start button, wait five seconds, then attempt to start again. Repeat this procedure until the engine starts. 12. If the engine slows or stops, move the choke lever half way to the right to allow proper engine warm-up. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm-up. 13. When the engine idles smoothly, move the choke lever completely to the right. Cold Weather Operation If the ATV is used year-round, check the oil level frequently. A rising oil level could indicate the accumulation of contaminates such as water or excess fuel in the bottom of the crankcase. Water in the bottom of the crankcase can lead to engine damage and must be drained. Tip: Water accumulation increases as outside temperature decreases. If the oil level rises to the top of the sight glass, change the oil immediately. Always operate the engine long enough to reach operating temperature, which reduces condensation. 37
