Starting a Warm Engine
Warm engines do not normally require the use of the choke. Using the
choke can cause the spark plug to become wet fouled.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface with the transmission in
neutral (or PARK if equipped).
2. Lock the parking brake, turn the fuel tank valve on, sit on the
vehicle, and t urn the engine stop switch t o RUN.
3. If the engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily start,
intermittent use of the choke button (pulled half way out) may be
necessary.
4. If the engine is over-choked when warm, depress the throttle lever
fully while cranking to aid in starting.
5. Release the throttle lever immediately after the engine starts. If t he
engine does not start and all conditions are favorable, change the
sparkplugandtryagain.
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 oil t ank. Water in the bottom of the
tank can lead to engine damage and must be drained. Water
accumulation increases as outside temperature decreases.
See your P olaris dealer for engine heater kits, which provide quicker
warm-ups and easier starting in colder weather.
