Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How does the tether switch shut the engine down? A: The cap holds a contact closed while the cord is attached to the rider, and the engine kill circuit opens the moment the cord pulls free. That cuts spark so the sled stops instead of running away.

Q: Will this work if my factory tether cap is missing? A: Yes, this set includes the switch and the cap, so you can replace both parts together rather than hunting for a matching cap separately. Match the wiring to your sled's kill circuit during install.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
