
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating
the vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical con-
trols, safety features and mechanical components before start-
ing. If not done as specified here, severe injury or death might
occur.
• Remove snow and ice from body including seat, footrests, con-
trols and instruments.
• Lights — The headlamp, the taillight and the brake light are stan-
dard equipment. Be sure lights are clear of dirt, slush or snow
and are in good working order or condition.
• Verify that track and idler wheels are free to turn and not frozen.

WARNING
Always use a wide base snowmobile mechanical stand to
properly support vehicle during any track verification. Slowly
accelerate engine in order to rotate track at very low speed
when it is not on ground.
• Activate the brake control lever and make sure the brake fully
applies before the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip.
It must fully return when released.
• Check the parking device. Apply parking brake and check if it
operates properly.
• Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it
operates easily and smoothly.

WARNING
Throttle lever must operate easily and smoothly. It must re-
turn to idle position when released.
• Check operation of tether and engine cutout switches, ignition
switch, headlamp switch (HI-LO), taillight, brake light and pilot
lamps.
• Verify that skis and steering operate freely. Check corresponding
action of skis versus handlebar.
