Page 41: Pre-Opearation Check
• Check fuel and injection oil for levels and leaks. Replenish as necessary and see an autho- rized Lynx dealer in case of any leaks. • Verify that air filter(s) is free of snow, if so equipped. • Make certain your snowmobile is pointed away from people or objects before you start it. -
Page 42: Starting The Engine
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 snowmobile 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 Check throttle lever operation. - Page 43 When temperature is above - 10°C Move the choke lever to position 1. Grab the handle firmly and start the engine or electric starter if it is equipped. As soon as the engine starts move the choke lever to OFF. 4-tec models Initial cold starting and warm engine starting Use the electric starter.
