Throttle Safety Switch

The throttle safety switch is designed to stop the engine whenever all

pressure is removed from the throttle lever and the throttle cable or

valves do not return to the normal closed position.

Test the throttle safety switch

system daily before operation.

1. Sit on the seat.
2. Start the engine and allow it

to idle.

3. Hold the throttle lever pin

stationary by exerting pres-

sure on the pivot pin in the direction shown in the illustration.

4. Apply a slight amount of throttle. A properly functioning switch

must shut down the engine.

WARNING

Operating the snowmobile with a faulty throttle safety switch can result in

serious injury or death in the event of an accident. If the throttle safety switch

does not shut off the engine during a carburetor/throttle system malfunction,

immediately push down the engine stop switch. Do not start the engine again

until the malfunction has been corrected by your dealer.
