FOREWORD
The operator manual and the Snow-
mobile handbook have been
prepared to acquaint the owner / oper-
ator of a new snowmobile
with the var-
ious vehicle maintenance and
safe operating instructions. Each is in-
dispensable for the proper use of the
product, and should be kept
with the
vehicle at all times.
Should you have any questions per-
taining to the warranty and its applica-
tion, please consult the
"Often Asked

your selling dealer.
This manual uses the following sym-
bols:
.A.. WARNING: Identifies and in-
... struction which, if not followed,
could cause personal injury.
tIP CAUTION: Denotes and instruc-
~ tion which, if not followed, could
severely damage vehicle components.
ONOTE: Indicates supplementary
information needed to fully com-
plete an instruction.
Although the mere reading of such in-
formation does not eliminate the haz-
ard, your understanding of the infor-
mation will promote its correct use.

HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR SNOWMOBILE
The main components of your snow-
mobile (engine, track and frame) are
identified by different serial numbers. It
may sometimes become necessary to
locate these numbers for warranty pur-
poses or to trace your snowmobile in
the event of theft.
ENGINE
SERIAL
NUMBER
ONOTE: We strongly recommend that you take note of all the serial numbers
on your vehicle and supply them to your insurance company. It will surely
help in the event a snowmobile is stolen.

SAFETY IN MAINTENANCE
Observe the following
precautions:
•Throttle mechanism should be
checked for free movement before
starting engine.
• Engine should be funning only when
pulley guard is secured in place.
• Never run engine
without drive belt
installed. Running an unloaded en-
gine 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 mecha-
nical condition at all times.
• Your snowmobile is
not designed to
be driven or operated on black top,
bare earth, or other abrasive sur-
faces. On such surfaces abnormal
and excessive wear of critic-al parts
is inevitable.
•Installation of other than standard
equipment, including ski-spreaders,
bumpers, pack racks. etc., could
severely affect the stability and safe-
ty of your vehicle. Avoid adding on
accessories that alter the basic vehi-
cle configuration.
• The snowmobile engine can be
stopped by activating the emergen-
cy cut-out switch, tether switch or
by turning
off the key.
•Whenever the vehicle IS parked out-
doors, overnight or for a long peri-
od, it issuggested to protect It against
the inclemency of the weather
with
asnowmobile cover.
• Do not lubricate throttle
and/or
brake cables and housings.
• Only perform procedures as detailed
in this manual. Unless otherwise
specifiedIengine should be turned
OFF for all lubrication and mainte-
nance procedures.
• Clean and check operation of the
headlight, taillight and brake light.
Please read and understand all war-
nings and cautions in this manual
and on the vehicle.
THIS MANUAL SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE VEHICLE AT
THE TIME OF RESALE.

11

BREAK-IN PERIOD
With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile
engines, a break-in period is required
before running the vehicle at full throt-
tle. Engine manufacturer recommen
dation
.is 10 t<? 15operating hours. Dur-
Ing this period, a richer mixture is
needed (i.e. 40 parts of gas for 1part of
50/1 Bombardier oil). Maximum throt-
tl~ should not exceed 3/4, however,
brief full acceleration and speed varia-
tions contribute to a good break-in.
Continued wide open throttle accelera-
tion~, prolonged cruising speeds, and
lugging are detrimental during the
break-in period.
ONOTE: A new drive belt requires
a break-in period of 15-25 km (10-
15 miles).
12
10·HOUR INSPECTION
As with any precision of mechan-
ical e.quipment, we suggest that after
the first 10 hours of operation or 30
days after the purchase, whichever
comes first, that your vehicle be check-
ed 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. Remember that it is easier
to remedy at this time than to allow the
snowmobile to operate until a possible
failure occurs.
THE 10HOUR INSPECTION IS AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE VEHICLE OWNER.
