Know Your Snowmobile

Gas Cap

An adult will take the gas cap off to put gas in your snowmobile. Never

take the gas cap off. Always make sure it's tightly closed.

Recoil Starter Handle

Pull the recoil starter handle to start your snowmobile. An adult will

help you start it the first time.
Choke Knob

You may need to use the choke to help start your snowmobile if the

engine is cold. Read more about it on page 45.
Hood Hold-Down Strap

Two straps hold down the hood of your snowmobile. Always make sure

both hood straps are securely latched before you start the engine.
Tether Strap/Switch

Always attach the tether

strap to your body and to

the switch on your snow-

mobile every time you

drive. If you fall off your

snowmobile, the tether

strap will pull away from

the switch and the engine

will stop.
When you attach the strap

to your body, you can clip

it to a loop on your cloth-

ing, or you can wrap the

strap around your right

wrist and attach the clip to

the strap.

Always have an adult put gas in your snowmobile. Never try to do it

yourself.

Never ride without the tether strap attached to your body and to your

snowmobile. Be careful not to let the cord get tangled around the han-

dlebars or any part of your body.
