ing equipment.
• 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.

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

inevi-
table.
• Your snowmobile
is
not designed
to
be
operated on public streets, road
or highways.
In
most States and
Provinces, it
is
considered an illegal
operation.
• 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 accessories that alter the basic vehicle
configuration.
• The snowmobile engine can
be
stop-
ped
by
activating the emergency cut-
out switch, tether switch or
by
turning
off
the
key.
• Whenever the vehicle
is
parked outdoors, 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 specified, engine should
be
turned
OFF
for
all lubrication and maintenance procedures.
•
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.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
______
_
Engine
With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile engines, a break-in period
is
required be-
fore running the vehicle at full throttle.
manufacturer recommendation
is
to
15
operating hours. During this
period, a richer mixture
is
needed
(i.e.
40
parts of gas for 1 part
of
BLIZZARD
oil).
Maximum throttle should not exceed
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 during the
break-in period.
-,.r
CAUTION: Remove and
dean
T spark
plugs
after engine break-in.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in peri-
od of
25
km ( 15 miles).
1
0-Hour
inspection
As with any precision piece
of
mechan-
ical 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 authorized dealer. This inspection
will give you the opportunity to discuss
the unanswered questions you may have
encountered during the first hours
of
operation.
The
10
hour inspection
is
at the ex-
pense of the vehicle owner.
