Know Your Snowmobile
Before you have an adult start the engine for you for the first time, let’s
learn about the controls on your new machine.
1.
Engine Stop Switch
- When the engine is running, you can push
this button down and the engine will stop. The stop switch must
be in the UP position to start the engine again.
2.
Throttle Control
- The throttle control makes your snowmobile go
forward when you press it with your thumb. You must always
make sure the throttle control does not stick before you operate
your snowmobile. Read more about it on page 19.
3.
Recoil Starter Handle
- Pull the recoil starter handle to start your
snowmobile. An adult will help you start it the first time.
4.
Choke Knob
- You may need to use the choke to help start your
snowmobile if the engine is cold. Read more about it on page 48.
Always have an adult put gas in your snowmobile. Never try to do
it yourself.
5.
Gas Cap
- The gas cap has to be taken off when an adult puts gas in
your snowmobile. Never take the gas cap off. Always make sure
it’s tightly closed.
