 NOTE: On 660 cc models,
ensure that the ignition switch
key is in the OFF position when
the engine is not running. Leav-
ing the ignition switch in the ON
position allows the lights to be
on and will drain power from the
battery. The engine WILL NOT
START without battery power.
THROTTLE/IGNITION
MONITOR SWITCH
(2-Stroke/Jaguar Z1
Models)
The throttle control is equipped with a
monitor switch for safety purposes
which will stop the engine when a loss
of return spring force occurs. If ice
forms in the throttle system or if there
is some other malfunction of the throt-
tle system resulting in a loss of return
spring force, the monitor switch will
stop the engine when the throttle con-
trol lever is released.
! WARNING
If any malfunction of the throttle
system occurs (such as freezing
in fluffy snow) and the monitor
switch does not shut off the
engine, press down on the emer-
gency stop switch IMMEDIATELY
to stop the engine. DO NOT start
the engine until the malfunction
in the throttle system has been
located and corrected.
If the snowmobile engine stops
abruptly when the throttle control
lever is released and the activation of
the monitor switch is suspected, use
the following procedure:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rotate the ignition key to the OFF
position.
2. Remove ice and snow from the
throttle system and wait 5-10
minutes for the engine heat to
thaw ice from the throttle system.
3. Test the throttle control lever by
compressing and releasing it sev-
eral times. The lever MUST
return to the idle position quickly
and completely.
 NOTE: If the throttle control
lever operates properly and the
engine does not start, compress
the
throttle
(approximately 1/8 throttle) and
try starting the engine. If the
engine now starts and stops
when
the
throttle
released, take the snowmobile
to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service.
