well as completed the final adjustment required to suit your specific

SAFETY MEASURES
Observe the Following Warnings:
For vehicles with a parking brake, always engage brake when ve-
hicle is not in use.
Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement before
starting engine.
In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by acti-
vating the engine cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or turning
off the key. Note that only the fan cooled models have an ignition
key.
Engine should be running only when belt 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.
Never run the engine with the hood opened or removed.
Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all times.
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.
Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while
installed on snowmobile.
Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.
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.
Some snowmobiles are designed for the driver only and no provi-
sions have been made for a passenger.
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.
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.
Do not stud the track.
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 selecting reverse gear. Ensure
the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders. Fast reverse
could result in loss of stability.

FREQUENTLY 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 SKI-DOO dealer must
register your snowmobile with Bombardier. Make sure the
registration form has been sent. All of this will allow you to:
a) have warranty work performed at any authorized SKI-DOO
dealer in North America. Your registration form will provide
the SKI-DOO 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 Op-
erator’s Guide?
A: The warranty of the new snowmobile cannot be “Voided” or
“Cancelled” if predelivered by an authorized SKI-DOO 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.
14
Q: Would you give some examples of abnormal use or strain, ne-
glect 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
SKI-DOO dealer for advice.
Q: 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 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 SKI-DOO 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 SKI-DOO 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 SKI-DOO 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 SKI-DOO dealership management. If the
problem already has been reviewed with the Sales Manager
or Service Manager, contact the SKI-DOO Dealer himself or
the General Manager.
We are always pleased to receive your comments on the SKI-DOO
snowmobile.
