PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS<br />

Before Starting the Engine<br />

WARNING<br />

Worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components may cause<br />

serious injury or death. Before starting the engine, check all<br />

components to be sure of proper operation.<br />

Read and Understand Your Owner’s Manual<br />

Read the Owner’s Manual completely and refer to it often. We’ve<br />

attempted to provide as much information as possible to alert you to<br />

the safety requirements of snowmobiling.<br />

Check Throttle and Brake for Proper Operation<br />

The throttle and brake are the primary controls of your snowmobile. If<br />

either should malfunction, loss of control could result.<br />

Make sure the throttle lever compresses evenly and smoothly. The<br />

lever should immediately return to the idle position without binding or<br />

hesitation. If the throttle does not function smoothly, DO NOT start<br />

the engine. Have the throttle serviced immediately.<br />

The need for a properly functioning brake is critical. Your snowmobile<br />

is equipped with the highest quality brake system available. Check the<br />

brakes for correct operation before starting the engine.<br />

Throttle Safety Switch<br />

Test the throttle safety switch system daily, before the machine is<br />

operated.<br />
