SAFETY
MEASURES
__________________________
__
Observe
the
following
precautions
:
• Throttle mechanism should
be
check-
ed
for free movement before starting
engine.
• Do not operate vehicle near snow
making equipment.
• Engine should
be
running only when
belt guard and
I 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 cor-
rected
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,
ice,
hard pack or other
abrasive surfaces.
On
such surfaces
abnormal and excessive wear
of
crit-
ical parts
is
inevitable.
•
Your
snowmobile
is
not designed to
be
operated on public streets, road
or highways.
In
most States and
Prov-
inces, 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
turn-
ing
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
I or brake
cables and housings.
• Only perform procedures
as
detail-
ed
in
this manual. Unless otherwise
specified, engine should
be
turned
OFF
for all lubrication and main-
tenance procedures.
• Clean and check operation
of
the
head
light
taillight and brake light.
• Should removal
of
a locking device
be
required when undergoing repairs I
disassembly, always replace
by
new
ones. Tighten fasteners
as
specified
in
the applicable Shop Manual.

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,
misunstandings will sometimes occur.
If
you
have
a problem that has
not
been
handled to your satisfaction through normal channels,
we
suggest that you
discuss your problem with a member
of
dealership management. 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.
