Discharged battery If the battery is discharged, the engine can be started using a fully-charged 12-volt battery and jumper cables. Two connecting leads have been provided for jump-starting the snowmobile. Due to the rubber engine mounting, the snowmobile frame is not a suitable grounding point for jump-starting the engine. EWS00570 WARNING G G G EWS00560 WARNING G G Before bypassing the T.O.R.S., make sure that the throttle returns properly to the fully closed position. The T.O.R.S. is an important safety device; in the case of a malfunction, take the snowmobile to a Yamaha dealer immediately for repair. Connect the jumper cables only to the connecting lead terminals. Do not connect them to the frame or any wire or other lead. When connecting the jumper cables, do not contact the jumper cables or connecting lead terminals to each other or to the frame or any metal part of the snowmobile. This can cause electrical system damage or A FIRE HAZARD. Be sure to pull the lead covers back over the terminals completely. If the terminals are exposed, they could come into contact with the frame or a metal part of the snowmobile and this can cause electrical system damage or A FIRE HAZARD.
