KNOW YOUR MACHINE
Before you have an adult start the engine for you for the first time, let’s
learn about the controls on your new machine.
1. Engine Stop Switch - When the engine is running, you can push
this button and the engine will stop. The stop switch must be in
the “up” position to start the engine again.
2. Throttle Control - This makes your snowmobile go forward when
you press it with your thumb. You must always make sure the
throttle control does not stick before you operate your snowmobile.
Read more about it on page R--11.
3. Recoil Starter Handle - Pull this to start your snowmobile. An
adult will help you start it the first time.
4. Choke Knob - You may need to use this to help start your
snowmobile if the engine is cold.
5. Gas Cap - This is where the gas goes that will run your
snowmobile. Your snowmobile will not run without gas. Only
adults should fill the gas tank.
