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 snow-
mobile 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
• Re-check throttle control lever operation.
• Ensure that the engine cut-out switch is in the ON position.
• Ensure that the tether cord cap is in position and that the cord is
attached to your clothing eyelet.
Primer Equipped Vehicles
• To prime, activate button until a pumping resistance is felt. From
this point, pump 2 or 3 times to inject fuel in intake manifold. After
priming, ensure that primer button is pushed back.
NOTE:
In very cold temperature, it is recommended to rotate primer
button 3 - 4 turns prior to pull it. This will eliminate the possibility of
sticking.
NOTE:
Priming is not necessary when engine is warm.
Choke Equipped Vehicles
Initial Cold Starting
NOTE:
Do not operate the throttle lever with the choke lever on.
WARNING
Never depress throttle while starting engine.
