PRE-OPERATION CHECK
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating the
vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical controls,
safety features and mechanical components before starting. If
not done as specified here, severe injury or death might occur.
• Remove snow and ice from body including seat, footrests, lights,
controls and instruments.
• Verify that track and idler wheels are not frozen and free to turn.
Always use a wide base snowmobile mechanical stand to prop-
erly support vehicle during any track verification. Slowly accel-
erate engine in order to rotate track at very low speed when it is
not on ground.
• Activate the brake control lever and make sure the brake fully ap-
plies before the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. It
must fully return when released.
• Check the parking device. Apply parking brake and check if it oper-
ates properly.
• Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it op-
erates easily and smoothly.
Test the throttle lever operation each time before starting the
engine. The lever must return to its original position once re-
leased. Otherwise, do not start engine.
• Check operation of tether and engine cut-out switches, ignition switch,
headlamp switch (HI-LO), taillight, brake light and pilot lamps.
• Verify that skis and steering operate freely. Check corresponding
action of skis versus handlebar.
