6. Brake Lever - Squeeze this towards the handle to make
your snowmobile slow down or stop.
Always take your thumb off the throttle control when you
pull the brake lever.
7. Ignition Switch - The key must be turned "on" before
pulling on the recoil starter handle to start your snowmobile.
You can also use this key to turn off the engine.
8. Tether Strap/Switch - This must always be attached
snugly to your wrist and your machine when you are riding.
If you fall off your snowmobile, the tether will pull off the switch
and the engine will stop. Put one end of the tether strap
around your wrist. The other end must be attached to the
snowmobile. Always attach the tether strap before you ride.
Never ride without the tether strap attached to your wrist
and machine. Be careful not to get the cord tangled
around the handlebars or any part of your body.
9. Hood Hold-Down - There are two straps to hold down the
hood of your snowmobile. They must always be latched
before you start your machine.
Always make sure that these straps are latched before
you ride.
