몇 SAFETY MEASURES
Observe the Following Warnings:
몇 For vehicles with a parking brake, always engage brake when ve-
hicle is not in use.
몇 Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement before
starting engine.
몇 In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by acti-
vating the emergency cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or
turning off the key.
몇 Engine should be running only when guard is secured in place.
Never run the engine without drive belt installed. Running an unloaded engine such as without drive belt or with track raised, can
prove to be dangerous.
몇 Never run the engine with the hood opened or removed.
몇 Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all times.
몇 Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets,
roads or highways. In most States and Provinces, it is considered
an illegal operation.
몇 Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while
installed on snowmobile.
몇 Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.
몇 Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. Unless other-
wise specified, engine should be turned OFF and cold for all lubrication, adjustment and maintenance procedures.
몇 Some snowmobiles are designed for the driver only and no provi-
sions have been made for a passenger.
몇 The performance of this snowmobile may significantly exceed that
of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.
몇 The engine and components used in a particular model should not
®
be used on other models. Use of Rotax
snowmobile engines in
other than SKI-DOO snowmobiles is not recommended or authorized by Bombardier Inc.
몇 Most components of this snowmobile are built with parts dimen-
sioned in the metric system. Most fasteners are metric and must
not be replaced by customary fasteners or vice versa
몇 Do not stud the track.
몇 Reverse models only: These snowmobiles are capable of a fast
reverse. Always remain seated and apply the brake before shifting.
Come to a complete stop before pressing the reverse button. Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders. Fast reverse while turning could result in loss of stability.

OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why must my snowmobile be registered at the factory? After all
I do have my original invoice as proof of when I purchased my
snowmobile.
A: Registration is very important and your dealer must register
your snowmobile with Bombardier. Make sure the card has
been sent. All of this will allow you to:
a) have warranty work performed at any authorized Bombar-
dier dealer in North America. Your registration card will provide the dealer with all the necessary data to complete warranty claim forms.
b) be advised by Bombardier should there be a safety recall or
particular warranty campaign.
c) be contacted much faster by the police, the minute they find
your stolen snowmobile (if such a case occurs).
Q: Why must my snowmobile be registered with the governing body
having jurisdiction over snowmobile use?
A: Snowmobile registration has two purposes: In many provinces
or states it is mandatory to register a snowmobile in the same
way as for a car. It allows the state or province to maintain
records of existing snowmobiles and governmental agencies
use part of the registration fees for establishing and maintaining trails.
Q: Where can I find information on the lubrication and maintenance
of my snowmobile?
A: In the
Operator’s Guide
provided with the snowmobile at the
time of delivery.
Q: Will the entire warranty be voided or cancelled, if I do not operate
or maintain my new snowmobile exactly as specified in the
erator’s Guide
?
Op-
A: The warranty of the new snowmobile cannot be “Voided” or
“Cancelled” if predelivered by an authorized dealer. However,
if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance
other than is shown in the
Operator’s Guide
, THAT failure may
not be covered under warranty. This includes service work performed by the customer, especially the critical adjustments:
ignition timing, carburetion and oil injection/or oil mixture.
12
Q: Would you give some examples of abnormal use or strain, neglect
or abuse which may affect warranty?
A: These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Some
specific examples may include: running the snowmobile out
of oil, chain failure caused by a Iack of lubrication, operating
the snowmobile 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.
Q: What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
A: The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of normal main-
tenance services, non-warranty repairs, accidents and collision
damage, as well as oils, and spark plugs, and incidental or consequential damage costs as explained in the warranty.
Q: 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 snowmobile.
Q: If I sell my snowmobile within the warranty period, will the new
owner qualify for the balance of the warranty?
A: Yes, provided the re-sale has been registered with the manu-
facturer.
Q: 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. Normally, any problems that arise in connection with the
sales transaction or the operation of your snowmobile will be
handled by your Dealers Sales or Service Departments. It is
recognized, however, that despite the best intentions of everyone concerned, misunderstandings will sometimes occur. Frequently, complaints are the result of a breakdown in communications and can quickly be resolved 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.
We are always pleased to receive your comments on the
SKI-DOO snowmobile.

HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR SNOWMOBILE
The main components of your snowmobile (engine and frame) are
identified by different serial numbers. It may sometimes become
necessary to locate these numbers for warranty purposes or to trace
your snowmobile in the event of loss. These numbers are required
by the dealer to complete warranty claims properly. No warranty will
be allowed by Bombardier Inc. if the engine serial number or Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) is removed or mutilated in any way. We
strongly recommend that you take note of all the serial numbers on
your snowmobile and supply them to your insurance company.

1) Throttle Lever
Located on the right side of handlebar. When compressed, it controls
the engine speed and the engagement of the transmission. When
released, engine speed returns automatically to idle.
2) Brake Lever
Located on the left side of handlebar. When compressed, the brake
is applied. When released, it automatically returns to its original position. Braking effect is proportional to the pressure applied on the
lever and to the type of terrain and its snow coverage.
WARNING
Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will
cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition could cause sudden loss of braking power and/or fire.
3) Parking Brake Button
Located on left side of handlebar. Parking brake should be used
whenever snowmobile is parked.
Whenever parking brake is applied and engine is running, injection oil
level/parking brake pilot lamp lights up to remind you that it is engaged.
CAUTION: Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before
operating the snowmobile.
To engage mechanism, squeeze brake lever and maintain while pull-
ing locking lever with a finger. When brake lever is compressed halfway the brake should be fully applied.
To release mechanism, squeeze brake lever. Locking lever will automatically return to its original position. Brake lever now returns to rest
position. Always release parking brake before riding.

4) Injection Oil Level/Parking Brake Pilot Lamp
(Red)
All Models Except Grand Touring Series
Lights when injection oil level is low or when parking brake is applied
(with engine running). Check oil level and replenish as soon as possible. Check oil level and replenish as soon as possible. Also lights
when parking brake is applied (with engine running).
Grand Touring Series
There are 2 pilot lamps. One for injection oil level and one for parking
brake. See dashboard photo at beginning of this section.
5) Reverse Button
Some models are equipped with a Rotax Electronic Reverse (RER) controlled by a reverse button.
Driving in reverse is achieved by changing the direction of engine
rotation.
Shifting in reverse is an electronic operation consisting of a control
module that modifies the ignition timing of the engine.
25
The DESS indicator lamp will blink and a warning buzzer will sound
when the snowmobile is engaged in reverse.
Apply throttle slowly and evenly. Allow drive pulley to engage then
accelerate carefully.
CAUTION: Do not rev the engine when driving in reverse. This
may cause the clutch system to operate erratically.
It is recommended to warm up the engine to its normal operating
temperature before shifting.
Shifting procedure will take place only when the engine is running.
Engine will automatically shift into forward when starting after stop-
ping or stalling.
RER Operation at High Altitude
General
At high altitude, the RER system needs a different engine timing
curve to work properly.
Operation
Formula III 700 R, Mach 1 R and Mach Z R
Before using the reverse system, first select the altitude mode that
changes engine timing curve.
To do so, push and hold reverse button with engine running. After 2
seconds, one beep is heard meaning that the low altitude mode can
be selected. Releasing button just after hearing that one beep will
select the low altitude mode. The reverse system is now ready to
operate in low altitude regions. Shifting in reverse is achieved as described above in Shifting Procedure.
To select high altitude mode, push and hold reverse button until 2
beeps are heard. Release button within one second. The reverse system is now ready to operate in high altitude regions. Shifting in reverse is achieved as described above in Shifting Procedure.
As long as the reverse button is pushed and held the RER system
switches from one mode to the other. One beep then 2 beeps then
one beep then 2 beeps and so on are heard with one second interval.
The mode to be selected corresponds to the last beep code heard.
The selected altitude mode is kept in memory until a new one is
chosen — whether the engine is stopped or not.
Grand Touring 700/SE
These vehicles are equipped with a Digital Performance Management (DPM) system. This system takes care of the altitude mode
required by the RER.
26
No reverse button operation is needed to select a mode. Just follow
Shifting Procedure above.
6) Ignition Switch
The lights are automatically ON whenever the engine is running.

Electric Starting
Key operated, 3-position switch. To start engine, turn key to START
position and hold. See illustration above.
CAUTION: Do not hold key at START position more than 15 seconds. A rest period should be observed between the cranking
cycles to let starter cool down. Holding key in START position
when engine has started could damage starter mechanism.
Release key immediately when engine has started. Key returns to
ON position as soon as it is released.
If engine does not start on first try, turn key back to OFF position
before restarting. To stop engine, turn key to OFF position.
27
NOTE: Engine may be manually started with rewind starter if necessary.
If starter does not operate, check starting system fuse condition.
Refer to Starting System Fuse below.
7) Tether Cut-Out Switch
General
The tether cut-out system shuts-off engine if the driver accidently
falls off the vehicle and the DESS (Digitally Encoded Security Sys-
tem) performs the same function as a key.
Operation
Attach tether cord to clothing then snap tether cut-out cap over receptacle before starting engine.
