Thank you for purchasing The SledStart
TM
Remote Starter System. This
system features state-of-the-art 2-way technology designed to give you
maximum satisfaction and performance, and was specifically designed for
use in extremely cold temperatures.
Please use caution when operating this system. SledStart can be set for
run times up to 15 minutes. Only in extreme subzero temperatures should
longer run time settings be used. In most cases the 5 or 10 minute set-
ting will be enough to warm up the engine. SledStart should NEVER be
used on a warm or hot engine as engine overheating or damage could
occur. Many snowmobiles have overheat protection built into the Engine
Control Module or ECM. This feature will stop the engine at a preset tem-
perature if it has been idling too long. SledStart has a unique feature that
will work along with the ECM to help protect from overheating. This is ex-
plained in more detail later in this user manual. Please use common sense!
Don't leave your snowmobile idling unattended for any length of time. Know
your snowmobile and the conditions around it. Example: Don't set the run
time for 15 minutes on a warm day.
Please read this entire manual prior to installing and operating the sys-
tem. Take a moment to become familiar with all of the built-in features
that are exceptionally useful in cold weather riding.
SledStart is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -40
o
F to
185
o
F or -40
o
C to 85

C. When mounting the module always try to mount
in a location that will not receive extreme heat or water. The electronics
in the SledStart module have been specially coated to help reduce dam-
age due to wet weather. It is always best to mount the module in an area
that will remain dry.
Depending on the obstacles, SledStart is designed to operate with a com-
munication range of up to 1 mile or 1500 meters but will vary with sur-
rounding conditions. Mount the antenna at the highest possible point in-
side the snowmobile being careful not to mount where it can become dam-
aged from water, extreme heat or any moving parts.
Powering the SledStart Remote Starter System LCD transmitter is one 1.5
volt AAA alkaline battery. We recommend replacing the battery when LCD
battery indicator icon is down to 1 bar. The unit itself requires no spe-
cific maintenance.
