PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

Before Starting the Engine

WARNING

Worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components may cause

serious injury or death. Before starting the engine, check all

components to be sure of proper operation.

Read and Understand Your Owner’s Manual

Throttle Lever

The throttle and brake are the primary controls of your snowmobile.

Always make sure both are functioning properly.
Squeeze the throttle lever to make sure it compresses evenly and

smoothly. When released, the lever should immediately return to the

idle position without binding or hesitation. If the throttle does not

function smoothly, or if you discover excessive lever freeplay, DO

NOT start the engine. Have the throttle serviced immediately.

n

Throttle Safety Switch

Test the throttle safety switch system before the machine is operated.

See page 64 for procedure.

n

Seat Latches

Ensure that the seat latches are securely in place before every use of the

snowmobile.
