PRE-START CHECK
Check Points:
• Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it
operates easily and smoothly. It must return to idle position when
released.
• Activate the brake control lever and make sure the brake fully ap-
plies before the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. It
must fully return when released.
• Verify skis and steering operate freely.
• Verify track and idler wheels are unfrozen and free to turn.
• Check fuel and injection oil level.
• Ensure fuel shut-off valve is in fully open position, if so equipped.
• Verify air filter(s) is free of snow, if so equipped.
• Check gear shift lever position (models with reverse gear only).
• Clean and check operation of the headlight, taillight and brake
light.

WARNING
Only start your snowmobile once all components are
checked and functioning properly.
