Some models
On this model tether cut-out switch system also includes the DESS which performs the
same function as a key.
DESS system is a deterrent against theft. The tether cord provided with your snowmobile is
dealer programmed and is the only one that allows engine to turn more than 3000 RPM. If
an incorrectly programmed tether cord is installed the engine can not reach engagement
speed required to move snowmobile.
