Operation
Starting the Engine
5. Move the engine stop switch to the RUN position. Turn the ignition key to ON.
6. If starting the engine while in gear, apply the hand brake and squeeze the clutch lever
fully to disengage the clutch. If starting the engine while in neutral, the neutral indicator
light should be on. If it isn't, disengage the clutch and shift the foot pedal to find neutral.
See page 52.
7. Do not apply throttle. Press the start button to start the engine. Activate the starter for a
maximum of five seconds. Release the start button immediately when the engine starts.
NOTICE: Excessive engagement may result in starter damage.
8. If the engine does not start, wait five seconds after releasing the start button, then acti-
vate the starter for another five seconds. Repeat until the engine starts. If the engine does
not start, review the engine troubleshooting information beginning on page 174. If all
conditions are favorable and the engine still does not start, see your Polaris dealer for
service.
9. Push the choke knob completely in. Vary engine speed slightly with the throttle to aid in
warm-up.
