MEASURES

__________________________

_

Observe

the

following

precautions:

• Throttle mechanism should

be

check-

ed

for free movement before starting

engine.

• Engine should

be

running only when

belt guard and/or pulley guard

is

se-

cured

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
under certain conditions. Always ma-
nipulate

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

determined and corrected

without

delay.

• Maintain your vehicle

in

top mechan-

ical 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 ex-

cessive wear

of

critical parts

is

inevi-

table.

• Your snowmobile

is

not designed to

be

operated on public streets, road

or highways.

In

most States and Pro-

vinces, it

is

considered

an

illegal oper-

ation.

• Installation of other than standard
equipment, including ski-spreaders,
bumpers, pack racks, etc., could se-
verely affect the stability and safety
of your vehicle. Avoid adding on ac-
cessories that alter the basic vehicle
configuration.

• The snowmobile engine can

be

stop-

ped

by

activating the emergency cut-
out switch, tether switch or by tur-
ning

off

the

key.

• Whenever the vehicle

is

parked out-
doors, overnight or for a long period,
it

is

suggested to protect it against

the inclemency 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 spe-

cified, engine should

be

turned

OFF

for

all

lubrication

and

maintenance pro-

cedures.

•

Clean

and

check

operation

of the

head-

light, taillight and brake light.

• These vehicles are designed for the
driver only. No provisions have been
made for a passenger.

• Should removal of a nylon lock nut

assembly,

always

replace

by

new

ones.

QUESTIONS

________________________

__

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, the customer

must

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:

my

snowmobile

in

O'King County but I snowmobile

in

Washington Coun-

ty.

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 snow-

mobile?

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 crit-

ical 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.

6--------------------------

0:

What

costs

are

my responsibility during the warranty period?

A:

The

of

normal maintenance ser-

vices,

non-warranty repairs, accidents

and

oils,

and

spark plugs,

and

incidental

or

consequential damages costs as explained in the

warranty.

0:

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 ma-
chine.

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, 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.

sometimes become necessary to locate

these numbers for warranty purposes or

to trace your snowmobile

in

the event of

theft.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

______

_

Engine

This Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile en-

gine,

has

a critical

break-in

period require-

ment before running the vehicle at full

throttle.

Engine

manufacturer strongly

rec-

ommends

10

to

15

operating

hours.

Max-

imum throttle

should

not

exceed

3/4, how-

ever,

brief full acceleration

and

speed

vari-

ations contribute to a good

break-in.

Con-

tinued wide open throttle accelerations,

prolonged cruising speeds, and lugging

are detrimental during the break-in pe-

riod.

Belt

A new drive belt requires a break-in pe-
riod of

25

km

(15

miles).

10-Hour

Inspection

As

with any precision piece of mechani-
cal 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.

Re-

member that it

is

easier to remedy 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.

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

trans-
ferred to the track to provide a better trac-
tion. The shorter the

belt, the lesser the

weight transferred to the track, thus main-
taining a more positive direction. Adjus-
ting

holes on the stopper strap allow

to

adjust it according to driver's requirements,

field

and

or

snow

conditions.
