PRE-RIDE INSPECTIONS
Start the Engine and Check
n Engine Stop Switch: Check the auxiliary shut-off switch for
proper operation. Push down to stop the engine. Pull up to release
and allow starting of the engine.
n Tether Switch: Make sure the engine shuts off when the tether is
removed from the switch.
n Lighting: Check the headlight (high and low beam), taillight, and
brake light for normal operation.
n Check Surroundings to Verify Clear Operating Area: Make
sure you have a clear area all around your snowmobile, including
an area clear of bystanders. There’s always the possibility of some
sideways vehicle movement, of applying a little more throttle than
intended, or of debris being thrown by the track. If t he
surrounding area is clear you before you start, you can devote your
full attention to operating the snowmobile.
