Within

the North American Continent,

there exist a very special breed

of

peo-

ple

... people

who

enjoy ice and snow.

and the unexcelled trails

that

lead to

virtually every

corner of the snowbelt.

They enjoy

too,

the

comfort

of

warm

clothinq, the friendliness of compan­ions, and

the

recreational vehicle

that

made it all possible.; the Ski-Doo

snowmobile.

We,

like millions of North American
families, have never forgotten our pio­neer heritage/ or

our

loveofnature and
the great outdoors, consequently, we
have designed and engineered all

our

models

with

safety,

comfort

and quiet-

ness foremost in

our

minds. We do res­pect your desires, and that

of

others.

Information has been prepared to ac-

quaint the

with

the various ve­hicle controls, owner-related mainte­nance, and safe operating instructions.

This is accomplised via three manuals;
'The Snowmobile Safety Handbook'

'the Warranty and Consumer Guide
Booklet' and

the

'Operator Manual'.

Each

is inseparable toward proper use

of

With

Ski-Doo snowmobile engines, a
break-in period is required before run­ning the vehicle at full throttle. Manu­facturers, recommendation for the

Bombardier-Rotax engine is 10 to 15

operating hours. During this period, a

richer mixture is needed

(i.e.40 parts of

gas for

1partof50 I 1 Bombardier oil).

Maximum throttle should

not

exceed

%, 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.

After

the break-in period, each Ski­Doo snowmobile should have an ins­pection check. This inspection

is at the

expense

of

the vehicle owner.

on

must

be added to the gasoline in

pre-measured amounts then both

oil

and gasoline should be thoroughly

mixed together before fueling the tank.

The correct gasoline is regular gasoline,

available from all service stations.

...

CAUTION: Never experiment

'Y with different fuel or fuel

ratios.

Neveruselow

lead

or non

leaded

gasoline,

naphta,

methanol

or si-

milar

products.

8

Use concentrated Bombardier

snow­mobile oil available from your dealer.
This

typeofoil has specially formulated

oil bases to meet the lubrification

re-

quirements

of

the Bombardier-Rotax

engine.
If Bombardier snowmobile oil is un-

available substitute

with

a high-quality

2 cycle snowmobile oil. The

oil/gas

mix must meet the vehicle require­ments. See oil manufacturer recom-

mendations on container.

...

CAUTION: Never use

outboard

...

or

straight

mineral

oils.

The importanceofusing the correct fu-

el mixture cannot "be overstressed. An

incorrect fuel ratio results in serious en-

gine damage. Recommended fuel ratio

is 50 / 1.

5 gallons of regular gasoline plus 1
can

of

50/

1concentrated Bombardier

snowmobile

oil =correct fuel mixture.

O

NOTE:

To facilitate fuel mixing,

oil should be kept at room tempe-

rature.

2. Add the full amount of oil.

To mix the gasoline and oil always use

a separate clean container. Never mix

directly in your snowmobile tank. For
best results, acquire

two

containers/ ei-

ther plastic or metal. Draw from one

untilernptv

then usethe second one.

....

WARNING: Gasoline is flamma-

...

ble and explosive under certain
conditions. Always perform pro­cedures in a weH 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 de­termined and corrected without

delay. Never add fuel while engi-

ne is running. Avoid skin contact

with fuel

at below freezing tem-

peratures.

1. Pour approximately one gallon of
gasoline into a

clean container.

3. Replace container cap and shake

the container thoroughly.

4. Add the remainder

of

the gasoline.

5. Once again thoroughly agitate the

container. Then

using a funnel

with
a fine mesh screen to prevent the
entry of water and foreign particles,

transfer mixture from container into

the snowmobile tank.

a

NOTE:

When using pre-mixed

fuel, always shake the container

thoroughly as the oil has a ten-

dency to settle.

WARNING: Never

warm area. At certain tempera-

tures, gasoline

will

expand and

• Activate the throttle control lever
several times to check that

it oper-

ates easily and smoothly. The
throttle control lever must return to

idle position when released.

• Check

that

the skis and the track are

not frozen to the ground or snow
surface and that the steering oper..
ates

freely.

• Activate the brake control lever and

make sure the brake fully applies be..
fore the brake control lever touches
the handlebar grip.

• Check fuel level.

• Verify that the path ahead of the ve­hicle is clear

of

by standers and

obstacles.

monthly or every 40 hours of opera­tion. If the vehicle is operated in wet
snow or in severe conditions these
items should be lubricated more

fre-

quently.

1. Using wrenchI loosen both track

ad-

justers by unscrewing the lock nuts
situated on the innerside

2. Adjust to proper tension by turning

adjuster bolts clockwise to tighten
track, counter-clockwise to slacken.

Adjust both side equally.

CAUTION: Always

turn

adjuster blocks in

a clockwise di-

rection,

the

right side blocks in a

counter-clockwise direction. Left

and right adjuster blocks

of

each

adjustment must always be set at

the same elevation.

Lift rear of vehicle and support

with

a

mechanical stand.

Allow

slide to ex-

tend normally. On Olympique models

a

gap

of

10-13 mm ( % -Y2inch) should

exist between

slider shoe and

bottom
inside of track. On Everest models, the
gap should be 19 mm

(% inch), If track

tension is

too

loose, the track will have

a tendency to

thump

.

When the front adjuster blocks are at

the lowest elevation more weight is
distributed on skis.

Atthe highest posi-

tion the weight is transferred from the

skis to the

track. The rear adjuster

blocks should be adjusted to suit the

driver's preference. (The spark plug

socket is an ideal tool to turn adjuster
blocks).

Equal

distance

The suspension is adjustable, the front
adjustment for surface condition, the

rear

for

driver's weight.

To adjust:

1. Stop engine. Using wrench! turn
track adjuster bolt clockwise on the

sidewhere the track is closest to the

link plate until track aligns.

2. Firmly retighten adjuster lock nuts.

3. Restart engine and rotate track

slowlyand

recheckalignment.

Check

that

track is well centered and

It is during summer, or when a vehicle

is

not

in use for any length of time that

proper storage is

a necessity. Storage
