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.

WARNING
Operating the snowmobile with a faulty throttle safety switch can result in serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

Do not start the engine again until the malfunction has been corrected by your dealer.
Test the throttle safety switch system daily before operation.

  2. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
  3. Hold the throttle lever pin stationary by exerting pressure on the pivot pin in the direction shown in the illustration.
