PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Before Starting the Engine
Read and Understand Your Owner’s Manual
Read the Owner’s Manual completely and refer to it often. We’ve
attempted to provide as much information as possible to alert you to
the safety requirements of snowmobiling.
Check Throttle and Brake for Proper Operation
The throttle and brake are the primary controls of your snowmobile. If
either should malfunction, loss of control could result.
Make sure the throttle lever compresses evenly and smoothly. The
lever should immediately return to the idle position without binding or
hesitation. If the throttle does not function smoothly, DO NOT start
the engine. Have the throttle serviced immediately.
The need for a properly functioning brake is critical. Your snowmobile
is equipped with the highest quality brake system available. Check the
brakes for correct operation before starting the engine.
Throttle Safety Switch
Test the throttle safety switch system daily, before the machine is
operated.
Worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components may cause
serious injury or death. Before starting the engine, check all
components to be sure of proper operation.
