KNOW YOUR MACHINE
6. Brake Lever - Squeeze this towards the handle to make your
snowmobile slow down or stop.
7. Ignition Switch - The key must be turned “on” before pulling on
the recoil starter handle to start your snowmobile. You can also use
this key to turn off the engine.
8. Tether Strap/Switch - This must always be attached snugly to
your wrist and your machine when you are riding. If you fall off your
snowmobile, the tether will pull off the switch and the engine will stop.
Put one end of the tether strap around your wrist. The other end must
be attached to the snowmobile. Always attach the tether strap before
you ride.
9. Hood Hold-Down - There are two straps to hold down the hood of
your snowmobile. They must always be latched before you start your
machine.
Always take your thumb off the throttle control when you pull
the brake lever.
Never ride without the tether strap attached to your wrist and
machine. Be careful not to get the cord tangled around the
handlebars or any part of your body.
Always make sure that these straps are latched before you ride.
