Throttle Safety Switch

The throttle safety switch is designed to stop the engine whenever all

pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the throttle cable or

valves do not return to the normal closed position.

WARNING! Operating the snowmobile with a faulty throttle safety switch can

result in serious injury or death in the event of an accident. If the throttle safety

switch does not shut off the engine during a throttle system malfunction,

immediately push down the engine stop switch. Do not start the engine again

until the malfunction has been corrected by your dealer.

Test the throttle safety switch system daily before operation.

1. Sit on the seat.
2. Lock the parking brake.
3. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
4. Hold the throttle lever pin stationary by

exerting pressure on the pivot pin in

the direction shown in the illustration.

5. Apply a slight amount of throttle. A

properly functioning switch must shut

down the engine.
