taining to the warranty and its applica-
tion, please consult the

0
NOTE: Indicates supplementary
information needed to fully com-
plete
an
instruction.
Although the mere reading of such in-
formation does not eliminate the hazard,
your understanding of the informa-
tion will promote its correct
use.
•
WARNING: The engines and the
corresponding components iden-
tified
in
this manual should not
be
uti-
lized
on
product(s) other than those
mentioned
on
the cover page of this
manual.
The information, illustrations and com-
ponents/system descriptions contained
in
this manual are correct at time of pu-
blication. Bombardier
Inc.
however,
main-
tains a policy of continuous improve-
ment of its products
without
imposing

time to discontinue or change spe-
cifications, designs, features, models or
equipment without incurring obligation.

SAFETY
MEASURES
__________________________
_
Observe
the
following
precautions:
• Throttle mechanism should be checked
for free movement before starting engine.
• The snowmobile engine can
be
stopped
by activating the emergency cut-out or
tether switches or turning
off
the key.
• Clean and check operation
of
the
headlight, tail light and brake light.
• Engine should
be
running only when belt
guard and/or pulley guard
is
secured
in
place.
• Never run the engine
without
drive belt
installed. Running an unloaded engine
can prove to be dangerous.
• Never run the engine when the track
is
raised
off
the ground.
• It can
be
dangerous to run engine
with
the hood removed.
• Gasoline
is
flammable and explosive un-
der certain conditions. Always manipu-
late
in
a well ventilated area. Do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks
in
the vicinity. If gasoline fumes
are
noticed
while driving, the cause should
be
deter-
ined and corrected
without
delay.
• Maintain your vehicle
in
top mechanical
condition at all times.
• Your snowmobile
is
not
designed to
be
driven or operated on black top, bare
earth, or other abrasive surfaces.
On
such surfaces abnormal and excessive
wear of critical parts
is
inevitable.
• Your snowmobile
is
not
designed
to
be
operated on public streets, road or high-
ways.
In
most
States and Provinces, it
is
considered
an
illegal operation.
• Installation
of
other than standard equip-
ment, including ski-spreaders, bumpers,
pack racks, etc., could severely affect the
stability and safety of your vehicle. Avoid
adding
on
accessories that alter the basic
vehicle configuration.
• Whenever the vehicle
is
parked outdoors,
overnight or for a long period, it
is
sug-
gested to protect it against the inclemen-
cy
of
the weather
with
a snowmobile
cover.
• Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake
cables and housings.
• Only perform procedures
as
detailed
in
this manual. Unless otherwise specified,
engine should
be
turned
OFF
for all lu-
brication and maintenance procedures.
• Since engine cooling
is
fully
in
effect on-
ly when the vehicle
is
in
motion and
driven on snow, it
is
not recommended
that you allow the engine to idle for more
than brief periods and/or you drive the
vehicle on icy surface. Prolonged idling
and/or continuous driving on ice may
cause engine damage.
• When removing coolant tank cap, first
place a cloth over cap then turn cap
to
its first step
to
release pressure. Never
drain or refill the cooling system when en-
gine
is
hot.
• These vehicles
are
designed for the driver
only. No provisions have been made for
a passenger.
• The performance
of
these vehicles may
significantly
exceed
that
of
other
snowmobiles you have operated. There-
fore, use
of
this vehicle by novice or in-
experienced operators
is
not recom-
mended.
• Should removal of a nylon lock nut
be
re-
quired when undergoing repairs/dis-
assembly, always replace by
new
ones.
Tighten
as
specified
in
the applicable
Shop Manual.
PLEASE
READ
AND UNDERSTAND ALL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
IN
THIS MAN-
UAL AND
ON
THE VEHICLE.
THIS
MANUAL
SHOULD
REMAIN
WITH
THE
VEHICLE
AT
THE
TIME
OF RESALE.

OFTEN
ASKED
QUESTIONS----------
0:
Why must my snowmobile
be
registered? After all I do have my original invoice
as
proof
of
when I purchased my snowmobile.
A:
Your
warranty is valid
at
any authorized dealer
of
the product. Your registra-
tion is the key element in providing the servicing dealer with the necessary data
to complete warranty claim forms.
This
information is also used to notify owners
in the event
of
a safety recall.
0:
Who
should send the registration card to Bombardier
Inc.?
A:
The
dealer. However,
it
is important that the
customer
make sure that
it
has
been sent.
The
company
might
contact
you should your vehicle be recalled
or
in case
of
a particular warranty campaign.
0:
I bought my snowmobile
in
O'King County but I snowmobile
in
Washington
County.
Can
the dealer
in
Washington County accept
to
perform warranty work
on my snowmobile?
A:
Yes,
any authorized dealer in North America can perform warranty repairs,
providing the customer warranty registration card
is
presented.
0:
Where can I find information on the lubrication and maintenance of my
snowmobile?
A:
In this Operator Manual provided with the vehicle
at
the time
of
first
sale.
0:
Will the entire warranty
be
void or cancelled, if I do not operate or maintain my
new snowmobile exactly
as
specified
in
the Operator's Manual?
A:
The
warranty
of
the
new
snowmobile cannot be
"Voided"
or
"Cancelled'~
However,
if
a particular failure
is
caused by operation
or
maintenance other than
is shown in the Operator Manual, THAT failure
may
not
be covered under war-
ranty. This includes service work
performed
by
the customer, especially the
critical adjustments to ignition, timing, carburation
and
oil injection/or oil mixture.
0:
Would you give some examples of abnormal use or strain, neglect or abuse?
A: These terms are general
and
overlap each
other
in areas. Some specific ex-
amples may include: running the machine
out
of
oil, chain failure caused
by
a lack
of
lubrication, operating the machine with a broken
or
damaged
part
which causes another
part
to fail,
and
so on.
If
you have any specific questions
on operation
or
maintenance, please
contact
your dealer for advice.

and
spark plugs,
and
incidental
or
consequential damages costs as explained

Are
"Genuine"
Bombardier replacement parts used
in
warranty repairs covered
by
warranty?
A:
Yes.
When installed by an authorized dealer, any
"genuine"
Bombardier
part
used in warranty repairs assumes the remaining warranty that exists on the
machine.
0:
If I sell my snowmobile within the warranty period, will the new owner qualify
for the balance of the warranty?
A:
Yes,
provided the
unit
has already been registered with the manufacturer
Note that the change
of
ownership card in this manual should be completed
and
sent to Bombardier Inc.
0:
How
can I receive the best owner assistance?
A:
The
satisfaction
and
goodwill
of
the owners
of
Bombardier products are
of
primary concern to your dealer
and
Bombardier Inc. Normally, any problems
that arise in connection with the sales transaction
or
the operation
of
your snow-
mobile will be handled by your Dealers Sales
or
Service Departments.
It
is reco-
gnized, however, that despite the best intentions
of
everyone concerned, misun-
derstandings 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
resolved 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.

these numbers for warranty purposes or
to trace your snowmobile
in
the event
of
theft.

BREAK-IN
PERIOD
______
_
Engine
With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile en-
gines, a break-in period
is
required be-
fore running the vehicle at full throttle.
Engine's manufacturer recommendation
is
10 to
15
operating hours. During this
period, maximum throttle should not
ex-
ceed
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 dur-
ing the break-in period.
0
NOTE:
To
assure additional pro-
tection during the initial engine
break-in,
500
ml
(18
imp. oz.)
of
BLIZ-
ZARD OIL should
be
added to fuel for
the first full fuel tank filling.
-.F
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).
10-Hour
Inspection
As
with any precision piece of mechan-
ical equipement, we suggest that after
the first 10 hours of operation or
30
days after the purchase, whichever
comes first, your vehicle
be
checked
by
your
dealer.
This inspection will give
you
the opportunity to discuss the un-
answered questions you may
have
en-
countered during the first hours
of
oper-
ation. Remember that it
is
easier to re-
medy at this time than to allow the
snowmobile to operate until a possible
failure occurs.
The 10 hour inspection
is
at the ex-
pense of the vehicle owner.

Limiter
screw
The function of the suspension limiter
screw
is
to control the transfer of vehi-
cle weight
during acceleration. The
shorter the screw threads exceed nut,
the more the weight will
be
transferred
to the track to provide a better traction.
The longer the screw threads exceed
nut, the lesser the weight will
be
trans-
ferred to the track, thus maintaining a
more positive direction. Limiter screw
allows to adjust weight transfer accor-
ding to driver's requirement, field and/or
snow conditions.

Drive Pulley
These vehicles are equipped
with
the
latest
in
snowmobile transmission sys-
tem. The TRA drive pulley (Total Range
Adjustable). This pulley includes three
(3) calibration screws that provide the
opportunity to perform minor adjust-
ments
to
the clutch
in
order
to
keep the
engine at it's peak power R.PM., thereby
maintaining optimal
vehicle performance.
The clutch
is
factory adjusted position
three (3) to provide the best perfor-
mance under most riding conditions at
sea
level. However certain conditions,
such
as
deep snow, high altitude, pul-
ling a load, etc. may allow the engine
to run below
it's
peak power
R.P.M.
at
wide open throttle thus decreasing the
vehicle performance. Should such con-
ditions
be
encountered the calibration
screws can then
be
resets to allow the
engine to operate at
it's
peak power
R.PM. (given
in
technical datas
as
max.
HP
RPM.).
The adjustment may
be
set at any one
of
six
(6)
positions, numbered from 1 to
6.
Note that for casting purposes num-
eral one
(1) appears
as
a dot. Each of
these positions provides
an
increase or
a decrease,
in
numerical order, of the
engine speed by approximately
200
R.PM.
Example:

acce-
leration in

NOTE: One must bear
in
mind that
the purpose of these calibration
screws
is
to maintain the engine

at
it's

speed will actually result
in
less vehicle
performance.
The point

Adjustment procedure
To
change the calibration screw posi-
tion; back
off
its locking nut and change
the position
of
the calibration screw
head. The notch on the screw head
