47 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 start the engine. n Lighting Check: Check the headlight (high and low beam), taillight, and brake light for normal operation. n Mirror Adjustment: If equipped, 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 the surrounding area is clear you before you start, you can devote your full attention to operating the snowmobile. Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and track, resulting in premature wear and failure. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads. CAUTION |
