Safety measures
* For vehicle with a parking brake always engage brake when snowmobile is
not in use.
* Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement before starting
engine.
* The snowmobile can be stopped by activating the emergency cut-out switch,
pulling the tether cord or turning off the ignition key (if equipped).
* Engine should be running only when belt 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 or with the
hood opened or removed.
* Do not stud the track. At speed it may cause the track to tear and separate
from vehicle posing a risk of severe injury or death.
* Never start the engine in closed area or indoors.
* Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all times.
* Snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets, roads or
highways. In most countries it is considered an illegal operation.
* Never charge or boost battery while installed on snowmobile.
* Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.

Through the D.E.S.S.
ENGLISH
TM
(Digitally Encoded Security System), it acts as a lock by
preventing unauthorized use of your snowmobile thus deterring theft.
Finally, it prevents unintentional electric starter operation in vehicles so equipped
by disabling the electric starter and ignition circuits in the MPEM or ECU.
DESS (Digitally Encoded Security System) Description
This system is digitally encoded to provide you and your snowmobile with the
equivalent security as a conventional lock key.
The tether cord cap provided with your snowmobile contains an electronic chip in
which a unique digital code is permanently memorized. You authorized Lynx
18
dealer programs this key code in the MPEM or ECU of your snowmobile to allow
engine operation above 3000 RPM if and only if this unique code has been read
after engine starting.
If a tether cord cap with different code is installed, the engine will start but cannot
reach drive pulley engagement speed to move vehicle.
Additional Tether Cord Caps
The MPEM/ECU of your snowmobile can be programmed by your authorized
Lynx dealer to accept 8 different key codes (tether cord caps).
DESS Pilot Lamp Codes
DESS pilot lamp blinking slowly (one time per 1,5 second) means that a bad
connection has been detected. Vehicle can not be driven.
To check for bad connection, remove tether cord cap. Make sure the tether cord
cap is free of dirt or snow. Reinstall cap and restart engine. If a blink still occurs,
contact an authorized dealer.
1. Free of dirt and snow
A DESS pilot lamp blinking 3 times per second means that you have installed a
cap with a code that MPEM of this snowmobile was not programmed to recognize (wrong key). Vehicle can not be driven.
11. DESS pilot lamp
This lamp will light up to confirm DESS status. Refer to previous paragraphs for
description.
12. Engine cut-out switch
This push-pull type or toggle type switch is located on the right side of the handlebar. To stop the engine in an emergency, select OFF position and simultaneously apply the brake. To restart, button must be at the ON position.
19
ENGLISH
1. ON
2. OFF
All operators of the snowmobile should familiarize themselves with the function of
this device by using it several times on first outing and whenever stopping the
engine there-after. This engine cut-out procedure will become a reflex and will
prepare operators for emergency situations requiring its use
13. Headlamp dimmer switch
Located on left hand side of handlebar, allows selection of headlamp beam. Note
that lights are automatically ON whenever the engine is running.
Some models
ENGLISH
14. High beam pilot lamp (Blue)
Lights when headlamp is on HIGH beam.
