be

kept with the ve-

hicle at all times.

SAFETY

MEASURES

__________________________

_

Observe

the

following

precautions:

• Throttle mechanism should

be

check-

ed

for free movement before starting

engine.

•

Do

not operate vehicle

near

snow mak-

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.

• 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 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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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:

Your

warranty

is

valid

at

any authorized dealer

of

the product.

Your

registration

is the key element in providing the servicing dealer

with

the necessary data to

complete warranty claim forms. This information is also used to

notify

owners

in the event

of

a safety recall.

0:

Who

should send the registration card to Bombardier Inc.?

A:

The

dealer. However,

it

is

important

that

the

customer

make sure

that

it

has been sent.

The

company

might

contact

you

should

your vehicle be recalled

or

in case

of

a particular warranty campaign.

0:

I bought my snowmobile in O'King County

but

I snowmobile in Washington

County. Can the dealer in Washington County accept to perform warranty

work

on my snowmobile?

A:

Yes,

any authorized dealer in North America can

perform

warranty repairs,

providing the

customer

warranty registration

card

is presented.

0:

Where can I find information on the lubrication and maintenance

of

my snow-

mobile?

A: In this 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?

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

war-

ranty. This includes service work

performed

by

the customer, especially the

critical adjustments to ignition, timing, carburation

and

oil

injection/or

oil

mixture.

0:

Would you give some examples

of

abnormal use or strain, neglect or abuse?

A: These terms are general

and

overlap each

other

in areas. Some specific ex-

amples

may

include: running the machine

out

of

oil, chain

fa1lure

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.

6

---------------

costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?

A:

collision damage, as well as oils,

and

spark plugs,

and

incidental

or

consequential damages costs as explained

in the warranty.

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.

Note that the change

of

ownership card in this

manual

should be

completed

and

sent to Bombardier

Inc.

0:

How

can I receive the best owner assistance?

A:

The

satisfaction

and

goodwt/1

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 snow-

mobile will be handled by your Dealers Sales

or

Service Departments.

It

is

recog-

nized, however, that despite the best intentions

of

everyone concerned, misun-

derstandings wlfl sometimes occur.

If

you have a problem that has

not

been

handled

to your satisfaction through normal channels,

we

suggest that you dis-

cuss your problem with a

member

of

dealership management. Frequently, com-

plaints 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.

of

your snowmobile (engine, track 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

theft.

BREAK-IN

PERIOD

______

_

Engine

With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile en­gine, a break-in period

is

required before
running the vehicle at full throttle. Engine's
manufacturer recommendation

is

10 to

15 operating hours. During this period,

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

lug-

ging are detrimental during the break-in

period.

0

NOTE:

To

assure

additionnal protec-

tion during the initial engine break-

in,

500

ml

(18

imp.

oz)

of BLIZZARD OIL

(P/N

496

0135 00) or the same quan-

tity of Bombardier Injection oil should

be

added

to

fuel for the first full fuel tank

filling.

-.F

CAUTION: Remove and clean

T spark

plugs

after engine break-in.

Belt

A new drive belt requires a break-in pe­riod of

25

km (15 miles).

10-Hour

Inspection

As

with

any precision piece

of

mechan­ical equipment, we suggest that after the
first 10 hours of operation or

30

days

after the purchase, whichever comes

first, 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 1 0-hour inspection

is

at the

expense of the vehicle owner.
