1) Throttle Lever
Located on the right side of handlebar. When compressed, it controls
the engine speed and the engagement of the transmission. When
released, engine speed returns automatically to idle.
2) Brake Lever
Located on the left side of handlebar. When compressed, the brake
is applied. When released, it automatically returns to its original po-
sition. Braking effect is proportional to the pressure applied on the
lever and to the type of terrain and its snow coverage.
CAUTION:
Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed
stops will cause an overheated brake system. This overheated
condition could cause sudden loss of braking power and/or fire.
3) Parking Brake Button
Located on left side of handlebar. Parking brake should be used
whenever snowmobile is parked.
Whenever parking brake or brake is applied and engine is running,
injection oil level/parking brake pilot lamp lights up to remind you that
it is engaged.
CAUTION:
Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before op-
erating the snowmobile. Otherwise, brake system may overheat
leading to sudden loss of brakes and/or fire.
To engage
mechanism, squeeze brake lever and maintain while pull-
ing locking lever with a finger. When brake lever is compressed half-
way the brake should be fully applied.
WARNING
Throttle lever must operate easily and smoothly. It must re-
turn to idle position when released.
