To "crank" or start your Can-Am Ryker, you need to follow a simple sequence: ensure the ignition is on and the system is ready, then apply pressure to the brake pedal, and finally press the start button.
Essential Steps to Start Your Ryker
Starting your Can-Am Ryker is a straightforward process that involves a few key steps to ensure it fires up smoothly and safely. Here's how to do it:
- Activate the Ignition: Begin by inserting your key (if applicable) and turning the ignition to the "ON" position, or for keyless models, simply press the power button. This action energizes the Ryker's electrical systems.
- Wait for System Readiness: Listen for an audible "beep." This sound indicates that the Ryker's onboard systems have completed their initial checks and the vehicle is now fully prepared to start.
- Apply the Brake Pedal: With your foot, firmly apply pressure to the brake pedal. This is a crucial safety interlock that prevents the engine from starting without the brakes engaged, minimizing any risk of unintended movement.
- Press the Start Button: While keeping the brake pedal pressed, locate and press the dedicated start button. Your Can-Am Ryker should now start up instantly and smoothly.
