If the snowmobile engine stops abruptly
when the throttle control lever is released
and the activation of the monitor switch
is suspected, use the following proce-
dure:
1. Rotate the ignition key to the OFF
position.
2. Remove ice and snow from the
throttle system and wait 5-10 min-
utes for the engine heat to thaw ice
from the throttle system.
3. Test the throttle control lever by
compressing and releasing it several
times. The lever MUST return to the
idle position quickly and completely.
NOTE: If the throttle control lever
operates properly and the engine
does not start, compress the throttle
lever slightly (approximately 1/8
throttle) and try starting the engine.
If the engine now starts and stops
when the throttle lever is released,
take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for service. If not under warranty,
this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
4. If the throttle control lever operates
properly, rotate the ignition key to
the RUN position and go through
normal starting procedures.
NOTE: If the throttle control lever
operates properly and the engine
does not start, a malfunctioning
monitor switch may be the problem.
Take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for service. If not under warranty,
this service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
However, if a dire emergency exists
wherein the engine must be started,
disconnect the throttle monitor
switch located in the right-side han-
dlebar control.
NOTE: If disconnection of the
throttle monitor switch is needed to
start the engine, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service as
soon as possible. If not under war-
ranty, this service is at the discretion
and expense of the snowmobile
owner.
NOTE: The monitor switch is now
bypassed. All other ignition/electri-
cal features (ignition switch, emer-
gency stop switch, headlight,
taillight, and brakelight) will operate
properly.
Varying Altitude
Operation
Operating a snowmobile at varying alti-
tudes requires changes in performance
components. These changes affect drive
train components
(on certain models).
For altitude information, see the appro-
priate specifications sheet.
! WARNING
If any malfunction of the throttle sys-
tem occurs (such as freezing in fluffy
snow) and the monitor switch does
not shut off the engine, press down
on the emergency stop switch IMME-
DIATELY to stop the engine. DO NOT
start the engine until the malfunction
in the throttle system has been
located and corrected.
! WARNING
If the throttle control lever does not
work properly, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
START THE ENGINE.
! WARNING
Under no circumstances should dis-
connection of the throttle control wir-
ing harness be used as a substitute
for the monitor switch during normal
operation of the snowmobile. Per-
sonal injury and damage could occur
if the throttle system malfunctions or
if the operator is unable to stop the
engine in an emergency. If the snow-
mobile must be operated with a dis-
connected throttle control wiring
harness, EXTREME CAUTION MUST
BE TAKEN. NEVER EXCEED 10 MPH
WITH THE THROTTLE CONTROL
WIRING HARNESS DISCONNECTED.
