Before Starting The Engine
n Read and Understand Your Owner’s Manual
Read and make sure the operators understand the Owner’s Manual
completely before allowing anyone to operate this snowmobile. It’s
also a good idea to review it periodically to reinforce the information.
It’s very important to familiarize the operator and guests with the
cautions and warnings pertaining to the machine as well as safe
operating procedures. We’ve attempted to provide you with as much
information as possible to alert you to the safety requirements of
snowmobiling.
WARNING
The throttle and brake are the primary controls of the
snowmobile. If either should malfunction, the operator could lose
control, which could lead to serious injury or death. Always check
the throttle and brake levers for proper operation before operating
the vehicle.
n Check throttle for proper operation
When checking the throttle, make sure the control lever compresses
evenly and smoothly. When the lever is released, it should
immediately return to the idle position without binding or hesitation.
If the throttle does not function smoothly, do not attempt to start the
engine. Have the throttle serviced before starting the engine.
n Check brake for proper operation
The need for a properly functioning brake is critical. The brake must
be checked for correct operation before starting the engine. See page
33 for brake lever travel specifications.
n Check for proper operation of steering system
Check for proper operation of the steering system by manually turning
the skis completely to the right and to the left. If difficulty is
encountered, check for ice and snow buildup which may be obstructing
the steering linkage. Make sure all greasable components are properly
lubricated.
