Pre Operation Check - Polaris 2000 120 XCR Rider's Safety Manual And Owner's Operation And Maintenance Manual

You are almost ready to have an adult start your snowmobile.
Before the snowmobile is started for the first time, you must
do a PRE-OPERATION CHECK. In fact, every time you ride
your snowmobile you must have an adult help you check
these things before starting it. Let's learn about these things
now.
Make sure the throttle doesn't stick. Check this by pushing
the lever toward the handlebar and then letting go. The lever
should come right back to where it was before you pushed it.
If it comes back slowly or stays open, you have a sticky
throttle. This means that something is wrong or broken.
If you have a sticky throttle, do not start the engine. You
could get hurt if you ride when you have a sticky throttle.
Have an adult or your Polaris Dealer fix the throttle.
Make sure the brakes don't stick. Check the brake lever
by squeezing the lever toward the handlebar and then letting
it go. It should come right back to where it was before you
squeezed it. If it goes back slowly or stays on, your brakes
are sticking.
If you have sticky brakes, do not start the engine. You
could get hurt if you ride when you have sticky brakes.
Have an adult or your Polaris Dealer fix the sticky brakes.
If you have used the storage area under the seat, make
sure the seat locking tabs are in place.
