make your snowmobile slow down or stop.

before pulling on the recoil starter handle to start your snowmobile.
You can also use this key to turn off the engine.
8. Tether Strap/Switch - The tether strap must always be attached
snugly to your right wrist and to your snowmobile every time you

Always make sure the hood hold-down straps are
latched before you ride.
