All operators of the snowmobile
should familiarize themselves with the
function of this device by using it sev-
eral times on first outing and whenever
stopping the engine thereafter. This
engine shut off procedure will become
a reflex and will prepare operators for
emergency situations requiring its use.

emergency caused by a suspected
malfunction, the source of the mal-
function should be determined
and corrected before restarting
