starting your machine.

and start the engine.

operation.
n Lighting Check: Check the headlight (high and low beam),
taillight, and brake light for normal operation.
n Mirror Adjustment: Adjust your mirrors so they can be used to
their full advantage.
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.
