maintenance and safe operating instruc-
tions.
Each
is
indispensable for the proper
use
of
the product, and should
be
kept
with the vehicle at all times.
Should you have any questions pertain-
ing to the warranty and its application,
please consult the
"Often
Asked Ques-
tion"
section
of
this manual, or your
authorized dealer.

T tion which, if not followed, could
severely damage vehicle components.

NOTE: Indicates supplementary
information needed to fully com-
plete
an
instruction.
Although the mere reading
of
such information does not eliminate the hazard,
your understanding
of
the information
will promote its correct use .
......... WARNING: The engines and the
T orresponding components iden-
tified
in
this manual should not
be
uti-
lized
on
product(s) other than those
mentioned
on

The information and components/system descriptions contained
in
this man-
ual
are correct at time

Bombardier Inc. however, maintains a
policy
of

SAFETY
MEASURES
__________________________
_
Observe
the
following
precautions:
• Throttle mechanism should be checked
for free movement before starting engine.
•
Do
not operate vehicle near snow making
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/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 vicinity.
If
gasoline fumes
are
noticed while driving,
the cause should
be
determined and cor-
rected
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,
or other abrasive surfaces.
On
such surfaces abnormal and excessive wear of critical parts
is
inevitable.
•
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/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
altow the engine to idle for more than brief
periods and/or you drive the vehicle on
icy surfaces. Prolonged idling and/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 snow-
mobiles
you
have
operated. Therefore,
use
of this vehicle
by
novice or inexperienced
operators is
not
recommended.
• Should removal
of
a locking device
be
required when undergoing repairs/disassembly,
always replace
by
new ones. Tighten
fasteners
as
specified in the applicable
Shop Manual.
PLEASE
READ
AND UNDERSTAND ALL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
IN
THE
SNOW-
MOBILER'S SAFETY HANDBOOK, THE
OP-
ERATOR'S
MANUAL AND
ON
THE
VEHICLE
BOTH
MANUALS
SHOULD
REMAIN
