OPERATION

Emergency Stopping

The following chart lists methods for stopping the snowmobile in the

event of an emergency. Refer to page 58 for more information about the

engine stop switch and throttle safety switch.

WARNING! Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will

cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition could cause

sudden loss of brakes and/or fire, resulting in serious injury or death. When

traveling on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the brakes may

cause the brake system to overheat and result in brake failure.
