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.
Brake Lever
Squeeze the brake lever toward the handlebar to make your snowmobile
slow down or stop.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch key must be turned ON before you pull the recoil
starter handle to start your snowmobile. You can also stop the engine if
you turn the key OFF.
Tether Strap/Switch
Always attach the tether strap snugly to your right wrist and to your
snowmobile every time you drive. If you fall off your snowmobile, the
tether strap will pull away from the switch and the engine will stop.
Hood Hold-Down Strap
Two straps hold down the hood of your snowmobile. Always make sure
both straps are latched before you start the engine.
Always have an adult put gas in your snowmobile. Never try to do it
yourself.
Always take your thumb off the throttle lever when you squeeze the
brake lever.
Never ride without the tether strap attached to your right wrist and to
your snowmobile. Be careful not to let the cord get tangled around the
handlebars or any part of your body.
