PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
Before starting the engine, always refer to all safety warnings pertaining
to snowmobile operation. Never start the engine without checking all
vehicle components to be sure of proper operation.
WARNING! Operating the vehicle with worn, damaged, or malfunctioning
components could result in serious injury or death. Never start the engine
without checking all vehicle components to be sure of proper operation.
Read and Understand Your Owner's Manual
Read the Owner’s Manual completely and refer to it often. The manual
is your guide to safe and enjoyable snowmobiling experience.
Throttle Lever
The throttle and brake are the primary controls of your snowmobile.
Always make sure both are functioning properly.
Squeeze the throttle lever to
make sure it compresses evenly
and smoothly. When released,
the lever should immediately
return to the idle position
without binding or hesitation. If
the throttle does not function
smoothly, or if you discover
excessive lever freeplay, DO
NOT start the engine. Have the
throttle serviced immediately.
Throttle Release Switch
Test the throttle release switch system before operating the snowmobile.
