a
lack
of
lubrication, operating the machine with a broken
or
damaged

It
is rec-
ognized, however; that despite the best intentions
of
everyone concerned, mis-
understandings will sometimes
occur
If
you have a problem that has
not
been
handled to your satisfaction through normal channels,
we
suggest that you dis-
cuss your problem with a member
of
dealership management. Frequently, com-
plaints are the result
of
a breakdown in communications
and
can quickly be re-
solved by a
member
of
the dealership management.
If
the problem already has
been reviewed with the Sales Manager
or
Service Manager;
contact
the Dealer
himself
or
the General Manager.

HOW
TO
IDENTIFY
YOUR

The main components
of
your snowmobile (engine, track and frame)
are
identified
by
different serial numbers. It may sometimes become necessary to locate these
numbers for warranty purposes or to trace your snowmobile
in
the event
of
theft.
Track serial

NOTE: We strongly recommend that you take note
of
all the serial numbers on your vehicle and supply them to your insurance company. It will surely help
in
the event your snowmo-
bile
is
stolen.

A000000007
Frequency
Routine maintenance
is
necessary for
all
mechanized products, and the snow-

is
no exception. A weekly vehicle inspection contributes to the life span of the snowmobile.
It
is
recommended that the steering sys-
tem and suspension
be
lubricated month-
ly or every
40
hours of operation. If the
vehicle
is
operated
in
wet snow or
in
sev-
ere
conditions these items should
be
lu-
bricated more frequently.

NOTE:
When lubricating grease fit-
tings, grease until grease appears at joints. Always use low temperature grease (

..A. WARNING: Only perform
such
pro-
T cedures
as
detailed
in
this manual.
It is recommended
that

Brake
Condition
The
brake
mechanism
on
your snowmo-
bile
is
an
essential safety device.
Keep
this mechanism
in
proper working con-
dition. Above all, do
not
operate your
snowmobile
without
an
effective brake
system.
.A.
WARNING:

must
be
T replaced
as
soon
as
only 1 mm

Brake
Adjustment
The brake mechanism
is
a self-adjusting
type. If a quicker brake response
is
de­sired, strongly squeeze the brake lever several times, this will actuate the self adjusting mechanism.
A008006002
After the adjustment, brake should ap­ply fully when lever

Spark
Plug
Disconnect the spark plug wire and re­move the spark plug.
Check the condition
of
the plug.
• A brownish tip reflects ideal condi­tions. (Carburetor adjustments, spark
plug heat range, etc., are correct).
• A black insulator tip indicates fouling caused
by:
carburetor idle speed mix­ture and/or high speed mixture too rich, incorrect fuel mixture
ratio,
wrong
type
of
spark plug (heat rangeL or ex-
cessive idling.
• A light grey insulator tip indicates a lean mixture caused
by:

ratio,
or a leaking

Suspension Condition
Visually inspect all suspension compo­nents including slider shoes, springs/ wheels, etc.
0
NOTE:
During normal driving, snow
will act
as
a lubricant and coolant for the slider shoes. Extensive riding on ice or sanded snow, will create exces­sive
heat build-up and cause premature
slider shoe
wear.

Stopper
Strap
The function of the suspension stopper
strap
is
to control the transfer
of
vehicle
weight
during acceleration. The longer
the belt, the more the weight will
be transferred to the track to provide a bet­ter traction. The shorter the belt, the lesser the weight transferred to the track, thus maintaining a more positive direction. Adjusting holes on the stop­per strap allow to adjust it according to driver's requirements, field and or snow conditions.
CITATION

For
normal use locate bolt through

STORAGE
__________________
_
It
is
during summer, or when a vehicle
is
not
in
use for any length
of
time that
proper storage
is
a necessity. Storage of
the snowmobile during long periods of
inactivity consists
of
checking and re-
placing missing, broken or worn parts, proper lubrication and treatment to in­sure that parts do not become rusted; cleaning items such
as
carburetor of oil
mixtures, to prevent gum and varnish
formation within the carburetor; and
in
general, preparing the vehicle so that
when the time comes to use the snow-
mobile again it will
be
in
top condition .
...&.
WARNING: Only perform such
T procedures
as
detailed in
this
manual. It is recommended
that
dealer
assistance be periodically obtained on
other components/systems
not
cover-
ed in
this
manual. Unless
otherwise
specified, engine should
be
turned
OFF
for
all
lubrication and maintenance pro-
dures.
Track
Inspect the track for wear, cuts, missing
track guides and broken rods. Make any necessary replacement.
...&.
WARNING:
Do
not
operate a
T snowmobile
with
a cut,
torn
or
damaged track.
Lift the rear
of
vehicle until track
is
clear
of the ground then support with a brace
or trestle. The snowmobile should
be
stored
in
such a way that the track does
not stay
in
contact with the cement floor
or bare ground.
0
NOTE: The track should be rotat-
ed
periodically, (every
40
days).
Do
not
release track tension.
,.,.
CAUTION:
To
prevent track dam-
T age, temperature
in
the
storage
area
must
not
exceed
38°C
(100°F).
Suspension
Remove any dirt or rust. Grease idler wheels at grease fittings. (If applicable). Wipe
off
surplus. Replace worn slider
shoes.
Skis
Wash or brush all dirt or rust accumula­tion from the skis and springs. Grease the
ski
legs at the grease fittings.
...&.
WARNING: Check
the
condition
T
of
the
skis, ski runners and leaf
spring. Replace
if
weak
or
worn
more
than
half.
Controls
Lubricate the steering mechanism. In­spect all components for tightness, (spring coupler bolts, steering arm lock­ing bolts, tie rods, ball joints, etc.) Tight-
en
if necessary.
