YOUTH SECTION Know Your Snowmobile Gas Cap An adult will take the gas cap off to put gas in your snowmobile. Never take the gas cap off. Always make sure it's tightly closed. Always have an adult put gas in your snowmobile. Never try to do it yourself. Recoil Starter Handle Pull the recoil starter handle to start your snowmobile. An adult will help you start it the first time. Choke Knob You may need to use the choke to help start your snowmobile if the engine is cold. Read more about it on page 45. Hood Hold-Down Straps Two straps hold down the hood of your snowmobile. Always make sure both hood straps are latched properly before you start the engine. Tether Strap/Switch Always attach the tether strap to your body and to the switch on your snowmobile every time you drive. If you fall off your snowmobile, the tether strap will pull away from the switch and the engine will stop. When you attach the strap to your body, you can clip it to a loop on your clothing, or you can wrap the strap around your right wrist and attach the clip to the strap. Attach to Loop or Wrist Attach to Switch Never ride without the tether strap attached to your body and to your snowmobile. Be careful not to let the cord get tangled around the handlebars or any part of your body. 15
