Shutting Off the Engine
Release throttle lever and wait until engine has returned to idle speed.
Shut off the engine using either ignition switch (fan-cooled models
only), engine cut-out switch or tether cut-out switch.
VEHICLE WARM-UP
Before every ride, vehicle has to be warmed up as follows.
Snowmobile must be securely supported by the rear bumper using
a wide-base snowmobile mechanical stand. Track must be 100 mm
(4 in) off the ground.
Attach tether cord to operator’s clothing.
Start engine and allow it to warm up two or three minutes at idle speed.
Release parking brake.
Apply throttle until drive pulley engages. Let track rotate at low speed
for several turns. The lower the vehicle temperature is the longer
vehicle warm-up should be.
Shut off the engine and remove the wide-base snowmobile mechan-
ical stand.
Skis may be frozen on the ground. Grasp both skis by their loops and
lift them.
After restarting engine, the vehicle must be driven at low speed for
the first 2 or 3 minutes. After that, it may be driven up to the legal
speed limit as per normal safety practices.
WARNING
Never leave key and tether cord on vehicle when not in oper-
ation in order to prevent accidental engine starting.
WARNING
Make sure wide-base snowmobile mechanical stand is stable.
Stay clear of the front of vehicle and the track. Do not use too
much throttle during warm-up or when track is free-hanging.
