SAFETY
MEASURES __________________________ _
Observe the following
precautions:
• Throttle mechanism should be check-
ed for free movement before starting
engine.
• 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 ma-
nipulate
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 Pro-
vinces, it
is considered an illegal oper-
ation.
• Installation of other than standard
equipment, including ski-spreaders,
bumpers, pack racks, etc., could se-
verely affect the stability and safety
of your vehicle. Avoid adding on ac-
cessories that alter the basic vehicle
configuration.
• The snowmobile engine can
be stop-
ped by activating the emergency cut-
out switch, tether switch or by tur-
ning
off the key.
• Whenever the vehicle is parked out-
doors, 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 spe-
cified, engine should
be turned OFF
for all lubrication and maintenance pro-
cedures.
•
Clean and check operation of the head-
light, taillight and brake light.
• These vehicles are designed for the
driver only. No provisions have been
made for a passenger.
• Should removal of a nylon lock nut
be
required when undergoing repairs/dis-
assembly, always replace by new ones.
Tighten as specified in the applicable
Shop Manual.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
IN THIS
MANUAL AND

•WARNING:
When towing a sled
or trailer, always ensure
to lock
the hook
or plate type attachment with

12------------------------

Trailers or sleds towed behind a snow-
mobile should always
be loaded in a way
to obtain the lowest possible center of
gravity.
Use a rigid tow bar when pulling
atow
sled behind your snowmobile. When
you are pulling passengers
in a trailer or
tow sled,
use moderate speed and avoid
rough terrain for their safety. Also, have
all passengers get out of a towed vehicle
and walk across all roads.
BREAK-IN PERIOD ______ _
Engine
This Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile en-
gine, has a critical break-in period require-
ment before running the vehicle at full
throttle.
Engine manufacturer strongly rec-
ommends 10 to 15 operating hours. Max-
imum throttle
should not exceed 3/4, how-
ever, brief full acceleration and speed vari-
ations contribute to a good break-in. Con-
tinued wide open throttle accelerations,
prolonged cruising speeds, and lugging
are detrimental during the break-in pe-
riod.
Citation LS/LSE, Tundra, Tundra LT
0 NOTE:
For the break-in period on-
ly, 450 ml (16 oz) of Bombardier
Snowmobile Injection oil should
be ad-
ded to fuel for the first full fuel tank filling.
Tundra LTS
0
NOTE: Recommended fuel/oil ratio
is 40:1 during engine break-in pe-
riod.
This will assure additional protection dur-
ing the initial engine break-in.
._, CAUTION: Remove and cleanspark
T plug after engine break-in.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in pe-
riod of
25 km (15 miles).
10-Hour Inspection
As with any precision piece of mechani-
cal equipment, we suggest that after the
first 10 hours of operation or
30 days
after the
purchase, whichever comes first,
that your vehicle
be checked by your
dealer. This inspection will give you the
opportunity to discuss the unanswered
questions you may have encountered
during the first hours of operation.
Re-
member that it is easier to remedy at
this time than to allow the snowmobile
to operate until a possible failure occurs.
The 10 hour inspection is at the ex-
pense of the vehicle owner.

FUEL & OIL _________ _
Recommended Gasoline
Use regular leaded or unleaded gasoline
available from all service stations.
'W' CAUTION: Never experiment with
T different fuel or fuel ratios. Never
use naphtha, methanol, gasohol or sim-
ilar products.
• WARNING: Never
"top up" the

500 ml).
Available from your authorized dealer,
this type of oil will flow at temperatures
as low as minus 40°C (-40°F).
It is a blend of specially selected base
oils and additives which provides out-
standing lubrication, engine cleanliness
and minimum spark plug fouling.

tion
Oil" is unavailable, substitute with
BLIZZARD oil or vice versa.
'W' CAUTION: Never use outboard or
T straight mineral oils.
Oil Injection System
Citation LS/LSE, Tundra, Tundra LT
Always maintain a sufficient amount of
"Bombardier Snowmobile Injection Oil"

ly,
450 ml (16 oz.) of Bombardier
Snowmobile Injection

ed to fuel for the first full fuel tank filling.
This will assure additionnal protection
during the initial engine break-in.

Fuel Mixture Ratio & Mixing
Procedure
Tundra LTS
Oil must be added to the gasoline in pre-
measured amounts then both oil and gas-
oline should be thoroughly mixed togeth-
er before fueling the tank.
The importance of using the correct fuel
mixture cannot
be overstressed. An in-
correct fuel ratio results
in serious engine
damage. Recommanded fuel ratio is 50:1
(40:1 during break-in period).
Sl UNITS
500 ml oil to 25 liters= 50:1
IMPERIAL UNITS
16 oz oil to 5 imp. gal.= 50:1
or
500 ml oil to 5 112 imp. gal.= 50:1
U.S. UNITS
13 oz oil to 5 U.S. gal.= 50:1
0 NOTE:
To facilitate fuel mixing, oil
should
be kept at room tempera-
ture.
To mix the gasoline and oil always use
a separate clean container.
Never mix di-
rectly
in your snowmobile tank. For best
results, acquire
two containers, either
plastic ou metal. Draw from one until
empty then use the second one.
• WARNING: Gasoline
is flammable
and explosive under certain con-
ditions.
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 dri-
ving, the cause should be determined
and corrected without delay. Never add
fuel while the engine
is running. Avoid
skin contact with fuel at below freezing
temperatures.
1. Pour approximately 4 liters (one gal-
lon) of gasoline into a clean contain-
er.
2. Add the full amount of oil required for
the mixture.
3. Replace the container cap and shake
the container thoroughly.
4. Add the remainder of the gasoline.
5. Once again thoroughly agitate the con-
tainer. Then using a funnel with a FINE
MESH SCREEN to prevent the entry
of foreign particles, pour the mixture
into the snowmobile tank.
•WARNING:
To prevent fuel spill-
age, a funnel must always be used
when filling the gas tank.
0 NOTE: When
using pre-mixed fuel,
always shake the container thor-
oughly
as the oil has a tendency to settle.
