PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS

Before Starting the Engine

Before starting the engine, always refer to all safety warnings pertaining

to snowmobile operation. Never start the engine without checking all

vehicle components to be sure of proper operation.

Read and Understand Your Owner's Manual

Read the Owner's Manual completely and refer to it often. The manual

is your guide to safe and enjoyable snowmobiling experience.

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 func-

tion smoothly, or if you discover excessive lever freeplay, DO NOT start

the engine. Have the throttle serviced immediately.

Throttle Safety Switch

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

See page 90 for procedure.

Seat Latches

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

snowmobile.

WARNING

Operating the vehicle with worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components

could result in serious injury or death. Never start the engine without check-

ing all vehicle components to be sure of proper operation.
