Stopping
Before riding your snowmobile, you should understand how to stop
it. This is done by releasing the throttle and gradually depressing
the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. In an emergency,
you may stop your vehicle by pressing the engine cut-out switch
located near the throttle control and applying the brake. Remember,
a snowmobile cannot “stop on a dime”. Braking characteristics vary
with deep snow, packed snow or ice. If the track is locked during
hard braking, skidding may result.
Starting the Engine
IMPORTANT: On 2-TEC electrical starter equipped models, if the
low battery voltage pilot lamp is on, battery would not have enough
power to start the engine. In this case, use the manual rewind
starter.
IMPORTANT: On 2-TEC electrical starter equipped models and
4-TEC models if the battery is dead, engine cannot be started. Have
the battery recharged or replaced.
• Recheck throttle control lever operation.
• Ensure that the engine cutout switch is in the ON position.
• On fan-cooled models, turn ignition key to ON position.
• Ensure that the tether cord cap is in position and that the cord is
attached to your clothing eyelet.

WARNING
