NOTE: It is up to you, the parent, to teach your child the proper and safe way to
ride a snowmobile. You must set boundaries and adhere to them, keeping your
child's safety foremost in your mind. Never allow your child to operate this machine
without adult supervision.
Before Starting The Engine
Read and Understand Your Owner's Manual
Read and make sure the operators understand the Owner's Manual completely
before allowing anyone to operate this snowmobile. It is also a good idea to read
it periodically to reinforce the information. It is very important for to familiarize the
operator and guests with the cautions and warnings pertaining to your machine as
well as safe operating procedures. We have attempted to provide you with as
much information as possible to alert you to the safety requirements of snowmobil-
ing.
Check Throttle and Brake for Proper Operation
The throttle and brake are the primary controls of the snowmobile. If either
should malfunction, a serious loss of control could result.
When checking the throttle, make sure the control lever will compress evenly and
smoothly. When the lever is released, it should immediately return to the idle posi-
tion without binding or hesitation. If the throttle does not function smoothly, do not
attempt to start the engine. Have the throttle serviced before starting the engine.
The need for a properly functioning brake is vital. The brake must be checked for
correct operation before starting the engine. See page A--8 for details.
Check Throttle Safety Switch
Test the throttle safety switch
system on a daily basis before
the machine is used.
While seated in a normal riding
position, and with the engine id-
ling, hold the throttle lever pin
stationary by exerting pressure
on the pivot pin in the direction
shown in the illustration (B). Ap-
ply a slight amount of throttle
opening. A properly functioning
switch must shut down the en-
gine.
