IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES
Training
Basic training is required for the
safe operation of any snowmobile.
Study your Operator's Guide paying
particular attention to cautions and
warnings. J oin your local snowmobile club : its social activities
and trail systems are planned for
both fun and safety. Obtain basic
instructions from your snowmobile
dealer, friend, fellow club m ember
or enroll in your local training program.
Always show a new operator how
to start and stop the vehicle. Indicate the correct riding positions
and, above all else, only allow him
to operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area — at least until he
is completely familiar with its operation. If there is a local snowmobile
operator's training course existing,
have him enroll.
Performance
The performance of some snow-
mobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have
operated. Therefore, use by novice
or inexperienced operators is not
recommended.
Snowmobiles are used in many ar-
eas and in many snow conditions.
Not all models perform the same in
similar conditions. Always consult
your snowmobile dealer when selecting the snowmobile model for
your particular needs and uses.
Injury or death may result to the
snowmobile operator, passenger
or bystander if the snowmobile is
used in risky conditions which are
beyond the driver's, passenger's
or snowmob ile's capabilities or intended use.
Age
BRP recommends the operator has
at least 16 years old of age. Follow
your local legislation.
Speed
Speeding can be fatal. In many
cases, you cannot react or respond
quickly enough to the unexpected.
Always ride at a speed which is
suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own ability. Know
your local rules. Speed limit may
be in effect and meant to be observed.
Riding
Always keep right hand side of the
trail.
Always keep a safe distance
from other snowmobiles and bystanders.
Remember, promotional material
may show risky maneuvers performed by professional riders under
ideal and/or controlled conditions.
You should never attempt any such
risky maneuvers if they are beyond
your level of riding ability.
Never ride after consuming drugs or
alcohol or if y o u feel tired or ill. Operate your snowmobile prudently.
Your snowmobile is not designed to
be operated on public streets, roads
or highways.
Snowm ob ilin g at night can be a de-
lightful experience but because of
reduced visibility, be extra cautious.
Avoid unfamiliar terrain and be sure
your lights are working. Always carry a flashlight and spare light bulbs.
8
_______________________
Nature is wonderful but don't let it
distract your attention from driving.
If you want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop your snowmobile on the side of the trail so that
you don't become a hazard to others.
Fences represent a very serious
threat for both you and your snowmobile. Give a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
Hidden wires unseen from a dis-
tance can cause serious accidents.
Always wear an approved safety
helmet, eye protection and a face
shield. This also applies to your
passenger.
Be aware of inherent risks associ-
ated with riding off trails, such as
avalanche and other natural or man
made hazards or obstacles.
Avoid road traveling. If you must
do so, and it is permitted, reduce
speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn on paving.
When crossing a road, make a full
stop, then look carefully in both directions before crossing at a 90° angle. Be wary of parked vehicles.
Tailgating another snowmobile
should be avoided. If the snowmobile in front of you slows for any
reason, its driver and passenger
could be harmed through your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping
distance between you and the
snowmobile in front of you. Depending on the terrain condition,
stopping may require a little more
space than you think. Play it safe.
Be prepared to use evasive driving.
Venturing out alone with your snow-
mobilecouldalsobehazardous.
You could run out of fuel, have an
accident, or damage your snowmobile. Remember, your snowmobile
is capable of traveling further in half
an hour than you may be able to
walk in a day. Use the “buddy system”. Always ride with a friend or
member of your snowmobile club.
Even then, tell someone where you
are going and the approximate time
you plan to return.
Meadows sometimes have low ar-
eas where water accumulate and
freezes over in winter. This ice is
usually glare ice. Attempting to
turn or brake on this surface could
cause your vehicle to spin out of
control. Never brake or attempt
speeding or turning on glare ice. If
youdohappentotraveloversuch
a condition, reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
Never “jump” with your snow mo-
bile. This should be left to professional stunt men. Don't show off.
Be responsible.
While on safari, do not “gun” the
throttle. Snow and ice can be
thrown back into the path of a
following snowmobile. In addition,
when “gunning” the throttle, the
vehicle digs into and leaves an irregular sn o w surface for others.
Safaris are both fun and enjoyable
but don't show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do the
same as you and fail. When riding
with others, limit your abilities to
the experience of others.
Operation
Always make a pre-start inspection
BEFORE you turn on the ignition.
______________________
9
In an emergency, the snowmobile
engine can be stopped by activating
the engine cut-out switch, pulling
the tether cord cap or turning off the
key.
Throttle mechanism should be
checked for free movement and
return to idle position befo r e starting engine.
Always engage parking brake when
vehicle is not in use.
Never run the engine in a non-ven-
tilated area and/or if vehicle is left
unattended.
Never operate the engine without
belt guard securely installed or,
with hood or access/side panels
open or removed. Never run the
engine without drive belt installed.
Running an unloaded engine such
as without drive belt or with track
raised, can be dangerous.
Electric start models only: Never
charge or boost a battery while installed on snowmobile.
Ensure the path behind is clear of
obstacles or bystanders before proceeding in reverse.
Do not leave your keys in the ig-
nition switch, it is an invitation to
thieves and a danger to young children.
Raising th e rear of your snowmob ile
while the engine is running could
cause snow, ice or debris to be
thrown back at an observer. Never raise the rear of the vehicle while
the engine is running. To clear or inspect the track, stop the engine, tilt
thevehicleonitssideandremove
blockage with a piece of wood or
branch. Never allow anyone near a
rotating snowmobile track.
Maintenance
Know your snowmobile and treat
it with the respect and care due of
any power driven machine. Common sense, proper handling and
routine maintenan ce will result in
safer and enjoyable use.
Only perform procedures as de-
tailed in this guide. Unless otherwise specified, engine should be
turned OFF and cold for all lubrication, adjustment and maintenance
procedures.
Never have the engine running
whilethehoodisopen. Evenat
idle, a snowmobile engine is tu rn ing around 1,800 revolutions per
minute. Always turn off the ignition before opening the hood for
any reason.
Never remove any original equip-
ment from your snowmobile. Each
vehicle h as many built in safety features. Such features include various guards and conso les, plus reflective materials and warning labels.
A poorly maintained snowmobile
itself can b e a potential haza rd. Excessively worn components could
render the vehicle completely inoperative. Keep the snowm o bile
in good working condition at all
times. Follow your pre-operation
check, weekly, monthly and annually routine maintenance and
lubrication procedures as detailed
in this guide. Consult a snowmobile dealer or acquire a shop manual
and proper tools and equipment if
other repairs or service is required.
Do not stud the track unless it as
been approved for studs. At speed,
a studded track that as not been
approved for studs could tear and
separate from vehicle posing a risk
of severe injury or death.
10
______________________
Fuel
Always stop the engine before
refueling. Fuel is flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well-ventilated
area. D o not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Open cap slowly. If a d ifferen tial pressure condition is noticed
(whistling sound heard when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle
inspected and/or repaired before
further operation. Do not overfill
or top off the fuel tank before placingthevehicleinawarmarea.
As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow. Always
wipe off any fuel spillag e from the
vehicle. Periodically verify fuel system.
Basics for Passenger
Never ride as a passenger unless
the snowmobile is equipped with a
passenger seat, and sit only on the
designated passenger seat.
Always wear a DOT approved hel-
met and follow the same dressing
guidelines as those recommended
for the operator and described in
this guide.
Make sure that you are able to
achieve a stable stance, both feet
resting positively on the footboards
of footrests with good grip, and
that you are able to hold on firmly
to the handholds.
Once underway, if you feel uncom-
fortable or insecure for any reason,
don‘t wait, tell the driver to slow
down or stop.

11
LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Know your local laws.
State, provincial and local government
agencies have enacted laws and regulations pertaining to the safe use and
operation of snowmobiles. It is your
responsibility as a snowmobiler to
learn and obey these laws and regulations. Respect and observance will
result in safer snowmobiling for all.
Be aware of the liability property damages and insurance law s regarding
your equipment.
12
______________________
RIDING THE VEHICLE
Before venturing on the trails, operate
the snowmobile in a restricted flat area
until yo u are completely familiar with
its operation and feel comfortable that
you can safely tackle a more demanding task. Have an enjoyable and safe
ride.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
Depressing throttle lever increases
engine RPM causing the drive pulle y
to engage. Depending on models, engine RPM must be between 2500 and
4200 before drive pulley engagement
will occur.
Outer sheave of drive pulley moves
toward inner sheave, forcing the drive
belt to move upward on the drive
pulley and simultaneously forcing the
sheaves apart on the driven pulley.
The driven pulley senses the load on
the track and lim its the belt movement. The result is an optimized
speed ratio between engine RPM and
the speed of the vehicle at any time.
WARNING
Never operate engine without belt
guard securely installed or, with
hood or access/side panels open
or removed.
Power is transferred to the track
through the chaincase or gearbox
and drive axle.
WARNING
Always use a wide-base snowmobile mechanical stand to properly
support vehicle during any track
verification. Slowly accelerate
engine in order to rotate track at
very low speed when it is not on
ground.
Tur ni ng
Handlebar controls the steering of the
vehicle. As the handlebar is rotated to
right or left, the skis are turned right or
left to steer the snowmobile.
Stopping
Before riding your snowmobile, you
should understand how to stop it.
This is done by releasing the throttle
and gradually depressing the brake
lever on the left side of the handlebar.
In an emergency, you may stop your
vehicle by pressing the engine cut-out
switch located near the throttle control
and applying the brake. Remember, a
snowmobile cannot “stop on a dime”.
Braking characteristics vary with deep
snow, packed snow or ice. If the track
is locked during hard braking, skidding
may result.
How to Ride
How to Dress
Proper snowmobile clothing should
be worn. It should be comfortable
and not too tight. Always check the
weather forecast before going on a
ride. Dress for the coldest weather
expected. Thermal underwear next
to the skin also provides a good insulation.
DOT approved helmets are recommended at all times. They provide
both warm t h and reduce injury. A
stocking type cap, balaclava and face
mask should always be carried or
worn. Goggles or a face shield that
attach to the helmet are indispensable.
Hands should be protected by a pair
of snowmobile gloves or mitts which
have sufficie nt insulation and allow
use of thumbs and fingers for operation of controls.
_____________________
13
Rubber bottom boots with either a nylon or a leather top, with removable
felt liners are best suited for snowmobiling.
You should keep yourself as dry as
possible when snowmobiling. When
you come indoors, take your snowmobile suit and boots off and make certain they dry properly.
Do not wear long scarfs and loose apparels that could get caught in moving
parts.
What to Bring
Every snowmobiler should carry at
least the following basic parts and
tools that can help him and others in
an emergency:
• this Operator's Guide
• spare spark p lugs and wrench
•frictiontape
• spare drive belt
• spare starter rope
• spare light bulbs
• tool kit (including at lea st pliers,
screwdriver, adjustable wrench)
•knife
• flashlight.
Include other items depending on the
length and time of your ride.
Riding Position
Your riding position and balance are
the two basic prin ciples of making
your snowmobile go where you want
it to. When turning on the side of a
hill, you and your passenger m ust be
ready to shift body weight to help it
turn in the desired direction. Driver
and passenger(s) must never attempt
this maneuvering by placing feet outside of the vehicle. Experience will
teach you how much lean to put into turns at different speeds and how
much you w ill have to lean into a slope
to maintain proper balance.
Generally, the riding position for best
balance and control is sitting. However, the posting, kneeling or standing
positions are also used under certain
conditions.
The novice driver should become familiar with the snowmobile through
practice on a level area at slow speeds
before venturing afield.
WARNING
Do not attempt any maneuvers if
they are beyond your abilities.
14
______________________
Sitting
Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat is an ideal position
when operating the snowmobile over
familiar, smoo th terrain. Knees and
hips should remain flexible to a bs orb
shocks.
Posting
A semi-sitting position with the body
off the seat and the feet under the
body in a sort of squatting posture,
thus allowing the legs to absorb the
shocks when traveling over uneven
terrain. Avoid abrupt stops.
Kneeling
This position is achieved by placing
one foot firmly on the running board
and the opposite knee on the seat.
Avoid abrupt stops.
Standing
Place both feet o n the running boards.
Knees should be flexed to absorb the
shock from surface bumps. This is
an effective position to see better and
to shift weight as conditions dictate.
Avoid abrupt stop.
Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed for
an operator only, others can allow one
passenger only, and others can allow
up to two passengers. Refer to the
indications on the vehicles to know if
any particular snowmobile can accommodate passengers o r not, and if so,
how many. Always respect those indications. Overloading is dangerous because snowmobiles are not designed
for it.
_____________________
15
Even when passengers are allowed,
you must make sure that the persons
who would like to become passengers
are physically fit for snowmobiling.
WARNING
Anypassengermustbeableto
firmly lay his feet on the footrests
andkeephishandsonthegrab
handles or seat strap at all times
when seated. Respecting those
physical criteria is important to
ensure that the passenger is stable
and to reduce the risks of ejection.
Each ope rator has a responsibility to
ensure the safety of his passengers
and should inform them of snowmobiling basics.
WARNING
– Passengers must only sit on
designated passenger seats.
Never allow anyone to sit between the handlebar and the
operator.
– Each passenger seat must have
a strap or grab handles and
meet SSCC standards.
– Passengers and operators must
always wear DO T approved helmets and warm clothing appropriate for snowmobiling. Make
sure that no skin is exposed.
– Once underway, if a passenger
feels uncomfortable or unsecure for any reason, he must
not wait, and tell the driver to
slowdown or stop.
Riding with passengers on board is
different than riding alone. The operator has the benefit of knowing what
will be the next maneuver and is able
to prepare himself accordingly. The
operator also benefits from the support of his grip on the handlebar. In
contrast, the passengers have to rely on the operator’s careful and safe
operation of the vehicle. In addition,
“body english” is limited with passengers, and the operator can sometimes
see more of the trail ahead than the
passengers. Therefore, smooth starting and stopping are required with
passengers, and the operator must
slow down. The operator m ust also
warn passengers of side hills, bumps,
branches, etc. An unforeseen bump
can leave y ou passenger-less. Remind your pa ssengers to lean into
the turn with you, without causing
the vehicle to topple. Be extremely
careful, go more slowly and check the
passengers frequently.
WARNING
When riding with a passenger:
– Braking ability and steering
control are reduced. Decrease
speed and allow extra space to
maneuver.
– Adjust suspension according to
weight.
For complete in formation on how
to adjust the suspension, please refer to the section of this Operator’s
Guide entitled SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENTS under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and to the relevant label on the
belt guard.
Use extra caution and go even more
slowly with young passengers. Check
frequently to make certain the child
has a firm grip and is properly positioned with his feet on the running
boards.
16
______________________
Terrain/Riding Variations
Groomed Trail
On a m ain ta ine d trail, sitting is the
most preferred riding position. Do not
race and, above all, keep to the right
hand side of the trail. Be prepared
for the unexpected. Observe all trail
signs. Do not zigzag from one side of
the trail to the other.
Ungroomed Trail
Unless there has been a fresh snowfall you can expect “washboard” and
snowdrift conditions. Taken at excessive speeds, such conditions can be
physically harmful. Slow down. Hold
on the handlebar and assume a posting position. Feet should be under the
body assuming a crouched position to
absorb any jarring effect. On longer
stretches of “washboard” trails, the
kneeling position of one knee on the
seat can be adopted. This provides
a certain amount of comfort, while at
thesametimekeepsthebodyloose
and capable of vehicle control. Beware of hidden rocks or tree stumps
partially hidden by a recent snowfall.
Deep Snow
In deep “powder” snow, your vehicle
could begin to “bog” down. If this occurs,turninaswideanarcaspossible and look for a firmer base. If you
do get “bogged”, and it happens to
everyone, do not spin your track as
this makes the vehicle sink deeper. Instead, turn the engine off, get off and
move the back of the vehicle onto new
snow. Then tramp a clear path ahead
of the vehicle. A few feet will generally suffice. Restart the engine. Assume the standing position and rock
the vehicle gently as you steadily an d
slowly apply the throttle. D epending
on whether the front or rear end of
the vehicle is sinking, your feet should
be placed on the opposing end of the
running board s. Never place foreign
material beneath the track for support.
Do not allow anyone to stand in front
of, or to the rear of, the snowmobile
with the engine running. Stay away
from the track. Personal injury will result if contact is made with the revolving track.
_____________________
17
Frozen Water
Traveling frozen lakes and rivers can
be fatal. Avoid waterways. If you
are in an unfamiliar area, ask the local authorities or residents about the
ice condition, in lets, outlets, spring s,
fast m oving currents or other hazards. Never attempt to operate y ou r
snowmobile on ice that may be too
weak to support you and the vehicle.
Operating a snowmobile on ice or icy
surfaces can be very dangerous if you
do not observe certain precautions.
Theverynatureoficeisforeignto
good control of a snowmobile or any
vehicle. Tractio n for starting, tu rning
or stopping is much less than that
on snow. Thus, these distances can
be multiplied man yfold. Steering is
minimal, and uncontrolled spins are
an ev er present danger. When operating on ice, drive slowly with caution.
Allow yourself plenty of room for
stopping and turning. This is especially true at night.
Hard Packed Snow
Don't underestimate hard packed
snow. It can be difficult to negotiate
as both skis and track do not have as
much trac tion. Best advice is to slow
down and avoid rapid acceleration,
turning or braking.
Uphill
There are two types of hills you can encounter — the open hill on which there
are few trees, cliffs or other obstacles,
and a hill that can o nly be climbed directly. On an open hill, the approach
is to climb it by side hillin g or slaloming. Approach at an angle. Adopt a
kneeling position. Keep your weight
on the uphill side at all times. Maintain a steady, safe speed. Continue
as far as you can in this direction, then
switch to an opposite hill angle a nd riding position.
A direct climb could present prob le m s.
Choose the standing position, accelerate before you start the climb and
then reduce throttle pressure to prevent track slippage.
In either case, vehicle speed should
be as fast as the incline demands.
Always slow down as you reach the
crest. If you cannot proceed further,
don't spin your track. Turn the engine off, free the skis by pulling them
out and downhill, place the rear of the
snowmobile uphill restart the engine
and ease it out with slow even throttle
pressure. Position yourself to avoid
tipping over, then descend.
Downhill
Downhill driving requires that you
have full control of your vehicle at all
times. On steeper hills, keep y ou r
center of gravity low and both hands
on the handlebar. M aintain slight
throttle pressure and allow t he machine to run downhill with the engine
operating. If a higher than safe speed
is reached, slow down by braking but
apply the brake with frequent light
pressure. Never jam the brake and
lock the track.
Side Hill
When crossing a side h ill or traversing up or downhill, certain procedures
must be followed. All riders should
lean towards the slope as required
for stability. The p re ferre d operating
positions are the kneeling position,
with the knee of the down hill leg
on the seat and the foot of the uphill leg on the running board, or the
posting position. Be prepared to shift
your weight quickly as needed. Side
hills and steep slop es are not recommended for a beginner or a novice
snowmobiler.

______________________
Slush
Slush should be avoided at all times.
Always check for slush before starting across any lake or river. If dark
spots appear in your tracks, get off the
ice immediately. Ice and water can be
thrown rearward into the path of a following snowmobile. Getting a vehicle
out of a s lush area is strenuous and in
some cases, impossible.
Fog or Whiteo uts
On land or water, fog or v isibility-limiting snow can form. If you have to
proceed into the fog or heavy snow,
do so slowly with your lights on and
watch intently for hazards. If you are
not sure of your way, do not proceed.
Keep a safe distance behind other
snowmobilers to improve visibility
and reaction time.
Unfamiliar Territory
Whenever you enter an area that is
new to you, drive with extreme caution. Go slow enough to recognize
potential hazards such as fences or
fence posts, brooks crossing your
path, rocks, sudden dips, guy wires
and coun tle ss other obstacles which
could result in a termination of your
snowmobile ride. Even when following existing tracks, be cautious.
Travel at a speed so you can see what
is around the next bend or over the
top of the hill.
Bright Sunshine
Bright sunny days can considerably reduce your vision. The glare from sun
andsnowmayblindyoutotheextent that you cannot easily distinguish
ravines, ditches or other obstacles.
Goggles with colored lenses should
always be worn under these conditions.
Unseen Obstruction
There may be obstructions hidden
beneath the snow. Driving off established t rails and in the woods requires
reducedspeedandincreasedvigilance. Driving too fast in an area can
make even minor obstacles very hazardous. Even hitting a small rock or
stump could throw your snowmobile out of control and cause injury to
its riders. Stay on established trails
to reduce your exposure to hazards.
Be safe, slow down and enjoy the
scenery.
Hidden Wires
Always be on the lookout for hidden
wires, especially in areas t ha t may
have been farmed at one time or any
other. Too many accidents have been
caused by running into wires in the
fields, guy wires next to poles and
roads, and into chains and wires used
as road closures. Slow speeds are a
must.
Obstacles and Jumping
Unplanned jumps of snowdrifts,
snowplow ridges, culverts or indistinguishable objects can be dangerous.
You can avoid them by wearing the
proper color lenses or face shields and
by operating at a lower speed.
Jumping a snowmobile is an unsafe
and dangerous practice. However, if
the trail does suddenly drop a way from
you, crouch (stand) towards the rear
ofthevehicleandkeeptheskisup
and straight ahead. Apply partial throttle and brace yourself for the im p act.
Knees must be flexed to act as shock
absorbers.

Tur n in g
Depending on terrain conditions, there
are two preferred ways to turn or corner a snowmobile. For most snow
surfaces, “body english” is the key to
turning. Leaning towards the inside of
the turn and positioning body weight
on the inside foot will create a “banking” condition beneath the track. By
adopting this position and positioning
yourself as far forward as possible,
weight will be transferred to the inside
ski.
On occas ion, you will find that the only way to turn the vehicle about in
deep snow is to pull the snowmob ile
around. Do not over-exert yourself.
Get assistance. Reme mber to always
lift using your legs as opposed to your
back.
Road Crossing
In some cases, you will be approaching the road from a ditch or snowbank.
Choose a place where you know you
can climb with ou t difficulty. Use the
standing position and proceed w ith only as much speed needed to crest the
bank. Stop c ompletely at the top of
the bank and wait f or all traffic to clear.
Judge the drop to the roadway. Cross
the road a t a 90° angle. If you encounter another snowbank on the opposite side, position y our feet near the
rear of the veh icle . R emember, your
snowmobile is not designed to operate on bare pavement and steering on
this ty pe of surface is more difficult.
Railroad Crossing
Never ride on railroad tra cks. It is illegal. Railroad track s and railroad r ightsof-way are private property. A snowmobile is no match for a train. When
crossing a railroad track, stop, look and
listen.
Night Rides
The amount of natural and artificial
light at a given time can effect your
ability to see or to be seen. Nig httime
snowmobiling is deligh tful. It can be
a unique experience if you acknowledge your reduced visibility. Before
you start, make certain your lights
are clean and work properly. Drive
at speeds that will allow you to stop
in time when you see an unknown
or dangerous object ahead. Stay on
established trails and never operate in
unfamiliar territory. Avoid rivers and
lakes. Guy wires, barbed wire fences,
cabled road entrances and other objects such as tree limbs are difficult
to see at night. Neve r drive alone.
Always carry a flashlight. Keep away
from residential areas and respect the
right of others to sleep.

Safari Riding
Before starting out, designate a “trail
boss” to lea d the party and another
person to follow-up at the end of the
party. Ensure that all members of the
party are aware of the proposed route
and destination. Make certain that
you are carrying all necessary tools
and equipment and that you hav e
sufficient fuel to complete the trip.
Never overtake the trail boss or, for
that matter, any other snowmobile.
Use down-the-line hand signals to indicate hazards or intent of direction
change. Assist others whenever necessary.
ItisalwaysIMPORTANTtokeepa
safe distance between each snowmobile. Always maintain a safe interval
and allow sufficient stopping distance.
Don't be a tailgater. Know the position
of the machine ahead.
Signals
If you intend to stop, raise either hand
straight above your head. A left turn is
indicated by extending your left hand
straight out in the proper direction.
For right turns, extend the left arm and
raise the hand to a vertical position so
it forms a right angle at the elbow. Every snowmobiler should relay any signal to the ones behind.
Trail Stops
Whenever possible, pull off the trail
when you stop. This will reduce the
hazard to other snowmobilers using
the trail.
Trails and Signs
Trail signs are used to control, direct
or regulate the use of snowmobiles on
trails. Become familiar with all signs
used in the area where you are snowmobiling.
Transporting and Towing
Follow transporting and towing instructions explained furth e r in this
guide.

GENERAL
Wildlife compliments your snowmobiling day. Snowm obile tracks provide
firm ground over which animals can
travel from area to area. Do not violate this privilege by chasing or harassing wildlife. Fatigue and exhaustion
can lead to animal's death. Avoid areas posted for the protection or feeding of wildlife.
If you happen to be fortunate enough
to see an animal, stop your snowmobile and observe quietly.
The guidelines that we support are
not designed to limit your snowmobiling fun, b ut to preserve the beautiful freedom that you can experience
only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep s nowmobilers hea lthy,
happy and able to introduce others to
what th ey know and enjoy about their
favorite winter pastime. So, the next
time you hit the trails on a cool, crisp
and clear winter day, we ask you to remember that you are paving the way
for the future of our sport. Help us
lead it down the right path! From all
of us at BRP, thank yo u for doing your
share.
There is nothing more exhilarating
than sno wmobiling. Venturing onto
snowmobile trails th at criss-cross the
wild areas of forests an exciting and
healthy winter sport. However, as the
number of people using these recreational parks increases, so does the
potential for damage to the environment. Abuse of land, facilities and
resources inevitably leads to restrictions and closures of both private and
public land.
In essence, the greatest threat to our
sport, is all around us. Which leaves
us with one logical choice. When we
snowmobile, we must always ride responsibly.
The vast majority respect the law and
the environment. Each of us must set
an example for those who are new to
the sport, young and old alike.
It is in every one's best interest to
tread lightly into our recreational area s.
Because, in the long run, to protect the
sportwemustpreserve the environment.
Recognizing the importance of this issueandtheneedforsnowmobilersto
do their share in preserving areas that
make it possible to enjoy our sport,
BRP has developed the “Light Treading Is Smart Sledding” campaign for
snowmobilers.
Light Treading refers to more than the
thread of our tracks. It's a statement
of concern, respect and willingne ss to
take the lead and take action. It applies to the environment in general, its
proper care and m aintenance, its natural inhabitants and all enthusiasts and
the public at large who enjoy the great
outdoors. With this theme, we invite
all snowmobilers to remember that respecting the environment is not only
critical to the future of our industry but
to future generations.
Light Treading in no w ay suggests you
should curb your appetite for snowmobiling fun! It simply means tread with
respect!
24
______________________
JUST WHAT IS LIGHT TREADING?
The fundamental objective of Light
Treading is one of respect for where
and how you ride a snowmobile.
You're a light treader when you follow
the principles below.
Become informed. Obtain maps,
regulations and other information
from the Forest Service or from other
public land agencies. Learn the rules
and follow them and that goes for
speed limits, too!
Avoid running over young trees,
shrubs, and grasses and don't cut
wood. On flatlands or areas where
trail riding is popular, it's important to
ride only where authorized. Remember, there is a link between protecting
your environment and your own safety.
Respect wildlife andbeparticularly
sensitive of anim als that are rearing
young or suffering from food shortage. Stress can sap scarce energy reserves. Refrain from riding in areas
where only animals are intended to
tread!
Obey gate closures and regulatory
signs and remember, light treaders
don't litter!
Stay out of wilderness areas. They're
closed to all vehicles. Know where
the boundaries are.
Obtain permission to travel across
private land. Respect the rights of
landowners and other people's privacy. Remember, snowmobile technology has lowered the noise factor
considerably, but you still shouldn't
rev your engines where quiet “is the
order of the day”.

WHY IS LIGHT TREADING SMART
Snowmobilers know all too well the
efforts that have been made throughout the sport's history to enjoy access
to areas where people can snowmobile safely and responsibly. This effort
continues today, as strong as ever.
Respectingtheareaswhereweride...
wherever they may be... is the only way to ensure their future enjoyment. That's one major reason why
we know you'll a gree that L ight Treading is smart sledding! And there are
more.
Enjoying the opportunity to see winter
and all its natural majestic wonders,
is an experience cherished by snowmobilers. Light Treading will preserve
this opportunity and will make it possible for us to expose others to the
beauty of winter and the unique thrill
of our sport! Light Treading will help
our sport to grow!
Finally, Light Treading is the sign of a
smart snowmobiler. You don't have to
leave big tracks or careen through a virgin forest to show you can ride. So
whether you're driving a high performance Lynx, a sporty Lynx RE-X snowmobile or any other make or model,
show you know what you're doing.
Show you know how to send snow flying and make tracks with a light touch!

snowmobile dealer for current specific
studding availability and applications.
BRP does not recommend to ride a
snowmobile equipped with high lug
profile track at high speed in a trail,
on hard packed surfaces or ice for an
extended period of time.
In the event that you have to, reduce
your speed, then minimize the distance you ride on those surfaces.
CAUTION: Running those tracks at
high speed in a trail, on hard packed
surfaces or ice put more stress on
the lugs, which tend to heat up as a
result. To avoid potential degradation or damage to the track, reduce
your speed, then minimize the distance you ride on those surfaces.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Engine
CAUTION: A break-in period of
10 operating hours — 500 km
(300 miles) — is re qui red before
running the snowmobile at full
throttle.
During break-in period, maximum
throttle should not exceed 3/4 opening. However, brief full acceleration
and speed variations contribute to a
good break-in.
CAUTION: Engine overheating,
continued wide open throttle runs
and prolonged cruising without
speed variations should be avoided, this can cause engine damage
during the break-in period.
593SS and 800R Engine Only
To assure additional protection during
the initial engine break-in, 500 mL of
recommended injection oil should be
added to fuel for the first full filling of
fuel tank. Have spark plugs cleaned
after engine break-in.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in period of 50 km . Avoid strong acceleration/deceleration, pulling a load o r high
speed cruising.
10-Hour Inspection
NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
As with any precision piece of mechanical equipment, we suggest that
after the first 10 hours of operation or
500 km, whichever comes first, your
snowmobile be checked by an authorized LYN X deale r. This inspection will
also give you the opportunity to discuss the unanswered questions you
may have encountered during the first
hours of operation.

inform you of a p articular condition.
For more details on DESS system beeper codes, refer to DESS PILOT LAMP
CODES in TETHER CUT-OUT SWITCH.
For more details on gauge pilot lamps, refer to GAUGE PILOT LAMPS.
For any beep code not listed in this Operator's Guide, refer to an authorized LYNX
dealer.
General
ENGINE IS CRANK ED BUT FAILS TO START.
1. Engine cut-out s witch is in OFF position or tether cord cap (DESS key)
away from post.
– Place engine cut-out switch in the ON pos ition and install tether cord cap
(DESS key) on post.
2. Mixture not rich enough to start cold engine.
– Check fuel tank level and check starting procedure, particularly use of the
choke.
3. Flooded engine (spark plug wet when removed).
– Do not choke. Remove wet spark plug, place engine cut-out switch in OFF
position and crank engine several times. Install clean dry spark plug.
– Start engine following usual starting procedure. If engine continues to
flood, see an authorized LYNX dealer.
4. No fuel to the engine (spark plug dry when removed).
– Check fuel tank level; check condition of fuel and impulse lines and their
connections. A failure of the fuel pump or carburetor has occurred. Contact
an authorized LYNX dealer.
5. Spark plug/ignition (no spark).
– Remove spark plug(s) then reconnect to spark cap. Check that engine cut-
out switch is at the ON position and the tether cord cap (DESS key) snapped
over the receptacle.
– Start engine with spark plug(s) grounded to engine away from spark plug
hole. If no spark appears, replace spark plug. If trouble persists, contact
an authorized LYNX dealer.
6. Engine compression.
– As the engine is pulled over with the rewind starter, “cycles” of resistance
should be felt as piston goes past top dead center (each piston on multicylinder engines).
– If no pulsating resistance is felt, it suggests a major loss of compression.
Contact an authorized LYNX dealer.

ENGINE LACKS ACCELERATION OR POWER.
1. DESS did not read tether cord cap (DESS KEY) code. DESS pilot lamp
blinks once every 1.5 seconds. Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.
– Properly install tether cord cap (DESS key).
2. DESS has read a different code then the one programmed. DESS
pilot lamp blinks rapidly (3 times per second). Engine can not exceed
3000 RPM.
– Install a tether cord cap (DESS key) for which this snowmobile was pro-
grammed.
3. Fouled or defective spark plug.
– Check item 5 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.
4. Lack of fuel to engine.
– Check item 4 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.
5. Carbur eto r adj us t m ents.
– Contact an authorized LYNX dealer.
6. Drive belt worn too thin.
– If the drive belt has lost more than 3 mm (1/8 in) of its original width, it will
affect vehicle performance.
– Replace drive belt.
7. Drive and driven pulleys require servicing.
– Contact an authorized LYNX dealer.
ENGINE BACKFIRES.
1. DESS did not read tether cord cap (DESS key) code. DESS pilot lamp
blinks once every 1.5 seconds. Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.
– Properly install tether cord cap (DESS key).
2. DESS has read a different tether cord cap (DESS key) code then the one
programmed. DESS pilot lamp blinks rapidly (3 times per second). Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.
– Install a tether cord cap (DESS key) for which this snowmobile was pro-
grammed.
3. Faulty spark plug (carbon accumulation).
– See item 5 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.
4. Engine is running too hot.
– See item 6 of ENGINE LACKS ACCELERATION OR POWER.
5. Ignition timing is incorrect or there is an ignition system failure.
– Contact an authorized LYNX dealer.
ENGINE MISFIRES.
1. DESS did not read tether cord cap (DESS key) code. DESS pilot lamp
blinks once every 1.5 seconds. Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.
– Properly install tether cord cap (DESS key).
