Page: 33 / 123

CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENT
1) Handlebar
The handlebar controls the steering
of the snowmobile. As the handlebar
is rotated to right or left, the skis are
turned right or left to steer the snow-
mobile.
2) Throttle Lever
Throttle lever is located on the RH side
of handlebar.
Designed to be thumb activated.
When squeezed, it increases the en-
gine speed and engages the transmis-
sion. When released, engine speed
returns automatically to idle.
WARNING
Test the throttle lever operation
each time before starting the en-
gine. The lever must return to its
original position once released.
Otherwise, do not start engine.
3) Brake Lever
Brake lever is located on the LH side of
handlebar.
When squeezed, brake is applied.
When released, it automatically re-
turns to its original position. Braking
effect is proportional to the pressure
applied on the lever and to the type of
terrain and its snow coverage.
4) Parking Brake Lever
Parking brake is located on the LH side
of handlebar.
Parking brake should be used when-
ever snowmobile is parked.
WARNING
Make sure parking brake is fully
disengaged before operating the
snowmobile. When you ride the
vehicle, brake pads that are caused
to drag by a continuous pressure
on the lever may cause damage to
the brake system and cause loss of
braking capacity and/or fire.
To Engage Parking Brake
Squeeze brake lever and maintain
while pulling locking lever with a finger.
When brake lever is held at halfway the
parking brake should be fully applied.
NOTICE
Parking brake position
can vary depending on brake pads
wear.

brake is applied that the vehicle
stays securely in place.
