Periodic maintenance and adjustment

Make sure that the throttle lever moves
smoothly with the engine off before
checking the T.O.R.S.
Make sure that the parking brake is ap-
plied.
Do not rev the engine to the point that
the clutch engages.
Check the T.O.R.S. for proper operation.
1.
Start the engine.
TIP
Refer to the “Starting the engine” section on
page 32.
2.
Hold the pivot point of the throttle lever
away from the throttle switch by putting
your thumb (above) and forefinger (be-
low) between the throttle lever pivot and
the engine stop switch housing.
While holding the pivot point as de-
scribed above, squeeze the throttle lever
gradually.
The T.O.R.S. will be activated and the
engine speed will be limited to less than
the clutch engagement speed. (See page
80 for the clutch engagement speed.)
WARNING! If the engine speed does
not decrease to less than the clutch
engagement speed, stop the engine
by turning the main switch to the off
position and consult a Yamaha dealer.
Operating the snowmobile with a mal-
functioning T.O.R.S. could result in
loss of control.
