--------------------------15

BREAK-IN

PERIOD

______

_

Engine

With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile engines, a break-in period

is

required be-

fore running the vehicle at full throttle.

Engine manufacturer recommendation

is

10

to

15

operating hours. During this

period, a richer mixture

is

needed

(i.e.

40

parts

of

gas for 1 part

of

BLIZZARD

oil. Maximum throttle should not exceed

3/4,

however, brief full acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in. Continued

wide

open throttle

accelerations, prolonged cruising

speeds, and lugging are detrimental during the break-in period.

,.,.

CAUTION: Remove and clean

T spark

plugs

after engine break-in.

Belt

A new drive belt requires a break-in period of

25

km (15 miles).

1

0-Hour

inspection

As

with

any

precision piece of mechanical

equipment, we suggest that after the first

10

hours

of

operation or

30

days after the purchase, whichever comes first, that your vehicle be checked

by

your dealer. This inspection will give you the opportunity

to

discuss the unanswered questions you may have encountered during the first hours of operation.

The 1 0 hour inspection

is

at the

expense of the vehicle owner.

Drive

pulley

This vehicle

is

equipped

with

the TRA

drive pulley

(Total

Range

Adjustable). This

pulley includes three

(3)

calibration screws

that

provide the opportunity to perform

minor adjustments

to

the clutch

in

order

to the engine at

it's

peak power

R.P.M.,

thereby maintaining optimal ve-

hicle performance.

The

dutch

is

factory adjusted to position

three

(3)

to provide the best performance

under most riding conditions at

sea

level.

However certain conditions, such

as

deep

snow, high altitude, pulling a load, etc.,

may allow the engine to run below

it's

peak power R.PM. at wide open throttle thus decreasing the vehicle performance. Should such conditions

be

encountered

the calibration screws can then

be

reset

to allow the engine to operate at it's

peak

power R.PM. (given

in

technical data

as

max.

HP

R.P.M.).

The adjustment may

be

set at any one of

six (6) positions, numbered from

1 to

6. Note that for casting purposes numeral one (

1)

appears

as

a dot. Each

of

these

positions

provides

an

increase or

decrease,

in

numerical order,

of

the engine speed

by

approximately

200

R.P.M.

Example: (Vehicle at

sea

level during full

acceleration

NOTE: One must bear

in

mind that

the purpose

of

these calibration

screws

is

to

maintain the engine R.PM.

at it's peak

power,

a lower or upper speed

will actually result

in

less vehicle perfor-

mance.

The
