Recoil Starter
If the battery is weak and cannot start the engine, use of the recoil starter located
on the right side of the machine will allow vehicle operation until repairs can be
made.
Polaris 4-cycle engines are equipped with automatic decompressors. Thismakes
recoil starting possible by allowing compression to “leak” at cranking speeds. The
decompressor senses when the engine is spinning fast enough to start and re-
stores compression for starting.
1.Be certain your vehicle is on a level surface and the parking brake is set . See
page 40.
2.Take the machine out of gear.
3.Grasp the recoil starter tightly and pull slightly until the starter mechanism en-
gages.
4.Pull the rope abruptly to start the engine. CAUTION: Take care not to extend
the starter rope so far that it stops, causing damage to the recoil assembly.
