Before Starting the Engine

WARNING
Worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components may cause
serious injury or death. Before starting the engine, check all
components to be sure of proper operation.
Read and Understand Your Owner's Manual
Read the Owner's Manual completely and refer to it often. We've
attempted to provide as much information as possible to alert you to
the safety requirements of snowmobiling.
Check Throttle and Brake for Proper Operation
n
The throttle and brake are the primary controls of your snowmobile. If
either should malfunction, loss of control could result.
Make sure the throttle lever compresses evenly and smoothly. The
lever should immediately return to the idle position without binding or
hesitation. If the throttle does not function smoothly, or if you
discover excessive lever freeplay, DO NOT start the engine. Have the
throttle serviced immediately.
The need for a properly functioning brake is critical. Your snowmobile
is equipped with the highest quality brake system available. Check the
brakes for correct operation before starting the engine. See page 105.
Throttle Safety Switch
n
Test the throttle safety switch system before the machine is operated.
See page 74 for procedure.
