SAFETY

MEASURES

__________________________

__

Observe

the

following

precautions

:

• Throttle mechanism should

be

checked

for free movement before starting

engine.

•

Do

not

operate vehicle near snow mak-

ing equipment.

• The snowmobile engine can

be

stopped

by

activating the emergency cut-out or

tether switches or turning

off

the

key.

• Clean and check operation of the head­light, tail light and brake light.

• Engine should

be

running only when belt

guard and I or pulley 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.

• It can

be

dangerous to run engine with

the hood removed.

• Gasoline

is

flammable and explosive un­der certain conditions. Always manipulate
in

a well ventilated area.

Do

not smoke

or allow open flames or sparks

in

the vi-

cinity. If gasoline fumes

are

noticed while

driving, the cause should

be

determined

and corrected

without

delay.

• Maintain your vehicle

in

top mechanical

condition at all times.

•

Your

snowmobile

is

not designed to

be
driven or operated on black top, bare
earth, ice, hard pack or other abrasive
surfaces.

On

such surfaces abnormal

and

excessive 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 Provinces, it

is

considered

an

illegal operation.

• Installation of other than standard equip­ment, including ski-spreaders, bumpers,
pack

racks,

etc., could severely affect the

stability and safety

of

your vehicle. Avoid
adding on accessories that alter the basic
vehicle configuration.

• 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 I or brake ca-

bles and housings.

• Only perform procedures

as

detailed

in
this manual. Unless otherwise specified,
engine should

be

turned

OFF

for

all

lubri-

cation and maintenance procedures.

• Since engine cooling

is

fully

in

effect only

when the vehicle is

in

motion and driven

on snow, it

is

not recommended that you
allow the engine to idle for more than
brief periods and

I or you drive the vehi-

cle on icy surfaces. Prolonged idling and

I

or continuous driving on ice may cause
engine damage.

• When removing coolant tank cap, first
place a cloth over cap then turn cap to
its first step to release pressure. Never

drain or refill the cooling system when en­gine

is

hot.

• These vehicles

are

designed for the driver
only. No provisions have been made for
a passenger.

• The performance

of

these vehicles may

significantly exceed that

of

other snow­mobiles you have operated. Therefore,
use

of

this vehicle by novice or inex-

perienced

operators

is

not

recom-

mended.

• Should removal

of

a locking device

be

required when undergoing repairs I dis-

assembly, always replace by new ones.
Tighten fasteners

as

specified

in

the ap-

plicable Shop Manual.

OFTEN

ASKED

QUESTIONS

__________________________

_

0 : 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 snowmo-

bile with Bombardier Inc. Make sure the card has been sent.

All

of

this

will

allow

you to :

a) have warranty work perfomed

at

any authorized Bombardier dealer in North

America.

Your

registration card

wJJ/

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 war-

ranty campaign.
c) be

contacted

much

faster

by

the police, the minute they

find

your stolen

vehicle

(if

such a case occurs).

0 : Why must my snowmobile

be

registred with the governing body having juris-

diction over snowmobile use?

A : Snowmobile registration has

two

purposes :

it

allows the state

or

province

to maintain records

of

existing snowmobiles

and

governemental agencies use

the registration fees for establishing

and

maintaining trails.

0:

Where can I find information on the lubrication and maintenance of my snow-

mobile?

A : In the Operator Manual provided with the vehicle

at

the time

of

delivery.

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?

8

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

warranty. This includes service work

performed

by

the customer, especially

the critical adjustments to ignition, timing, carburation

and

oil

injection I

or

oil

mixture.

0:

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 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.

0:

What

costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?

A :

The

customer's responsibility includes

all

costs

of

normal

maintenance

services, non-warranty repairs, accidents

and

collision damage, as well as 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 machine.

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.

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

snowmobile

will

be handled by your Dealers Sales

or

Service Departments.

It

is recognized, however, that despite the best intentions

of

everyone concerned,

misunstandings

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.
