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 carburetor/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.
