Operation ESU13210 2. Be sure the engine stop switch is in the run position. The starter motor cannot be operated when the engine stop switch is in the off position. TIP This model is equipped with an engine oil pressure switch to stop the engine in case an engine oil pressure drop is detected. To start the engine after this system has stopped the engine, be sure to place the snowmobile on a level surface, and then turn the key in the main switch to the off position, and then to the on position. Failing to do so will prevent the engine from starting even though the engine will crank when turning the key to the start po- sition.
If the engine does not start or if it stops again, ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the snowmobile. 3. Turn the main switch to the start position and release it when the engine starts. NOTICE: Release the switch immedi- ately after the engine starts. If the en- gine fails to start, release the switch, wait a few seconds, then try again. Each attempt should be as short as possible to preserve the battery. Do not crank the engine more than 10 seconds on any one attempt.
