OPERATION
Engine Stop Switch
Push down on the engine stop
switch to ground out the
ignition and stop the engine
quickly. Pull the switch up to
the ON position to allow

Throttle Safety Switch
The throttle safety switch is designed to stop the engine whenever all
pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the throttle cable or
valves do not return to the normal closed position.
WARNING! Operating the snowmobile with a faulty throttle safety switch can
result in serious injury or death in the event of an accident. If the throttle safety
switch does not shut off the engine during a carburetor/throttle system
malfunction, immediately push down the engine stop switch. Do not start the
engine again until the malfunction has been corrected by your dealer.
Test the throttle safety switch system
daily before operation.
1. Sit on the seat.
2. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
3. Hold the throttle lever pin
stationary by exerting pressure on
the pivot pin in the direction shown
in the illustration.
4. Apply a slight amount of throttle. A properly functioning switch
must shut down the engine.
