Stopping
Before riding your snowmobile, you should understand how to stop
it. This is done by releasing the throttle and gradually depressing the
brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. In an emergency, you
may stop your vehicle by pressing the engine cut-out switch located
near the throttle control and applying the brake. Remember, a snow-
mobile cannot " stop on a dime" . Braking characteristics vary with
deep snow, packed snow or ice. If the track is locked during hard
braking, skidding may result.
Starting the Engine
• Re-check throttle control lever operation.
• Ensure that the engine cut-out switch is in the ON position.
• Ensure that the tether cord cap is in position and that the cord is
attached to your clothing eyelet.
Do not apply throttle while starting.
Initial Cold Starting and Warm Engine Starting
Grab starter handle firmly and crank engine.
Do not apply throttle while starting.
Emergency Starting
The engine can be started with the emergency starter rope supplied
with the tool kit.
Remove belt guard.
Do not wind starting rope around your hand. Hold rope by the
handle only. Do not start the snowmobile by the drive pulley
unless it is a true emergency situation. Have the snowmobile
repaired as soon as possible.
