BOMBARDIER Ski-Doo T'NT 294 1973 User manual

Trademark 80mbardier Limited

In 1957 and 1958, tests began on
what is considered the forerunner of the
Ski-Doo' We experimented
with many
different frames and
engines-in search
of a light
machine for one or two pas-
sengers By
the fall of '58, the first pro-
totype was ready Initial tests made it
obvious the machine could hold its
own
in the recreation market Production be-
gan one year later and
225 machines
were sold at about $1
,000 each
Like
it's predecessors the '73 Ski-Doo
snowmobile is a combination of light-
ness, economy, strength and depend-
ability And yet,
with all this, it has one
other additional feature personality
Each model in each series has a
com-
plexity of characteristics that distin-
guishes itself as part of a bold breed
... the Ski-Doo snowmobiles.

purchase of a snowmobile is a very im-
portant decision For this reason, we
have ensured
that each Ski-Doo snow-
mobile is backed up by an international

•Register your Ski-Doo snowmobile at
your nearest Licensing Bureau,
where
State or Provincial Laws require it, and
affix Registration Plate to the vehicle
Carry your registration certificate
with
you It provides proof of ownership in
the event
that the vehicle becomes lost
or stolen
•Obtain your State or Provincial book-
let on snowmobiling It gives valuable
information on the neighbouring snow-
mobile trails and the laws governing
snowmobiling in your particular area
• Observe all posted snowmobile signs
Not all private landowners
allow snow-
mobiling on their property You can
have Just as
much fun, even more so, by
traveling elsewhere
•When
with others, limit your actions
to the experience of the main body
Show the inexperienced driver how to
properly handle asnowmobile
•Always travel
with at least one other
snowmobile, especially in unfamiliar ter-
rain or on trail rides Even in snow-
mobiling, a pair beats one of a kind
• If you are planning to explore
new
areas, leave word of your approximate
whereabouts and estimated
time of re-
turn
with someone
•Always make a full stop then look
carefully in both directions before cross-
ing roads
When traveling in pairs or in a
group, have one
member direct the oth-
ers across singly

• Use a rigid hitch or tow-bar when pull-
ing any sled or trailer behind your Ski-
Doo
snowmobile Rigid hitches prevent
tailgate collision
when going downhill or
on sudden stops
• Be extremely careful when giving chil-
dren a ride Go more slowly and check
frequently Small children, are far safer
in a Ski-Boose' sled than on the seat of
your snowmobile
•
When trailering your Ski-Doo snow-
mobile, secure it solidly at both ends,
protect it with abright cover (Ski-Doo"
cover) then check
that trailer hitch and
safety chain are secure and
that brake,
flashers, position and parking lights are
all in working order.
*Trademark BiDmbardier Limited

• Don't cut across in front of the line of
travel of another snowmobile
Don't tail-
gate, collision, or the threat of it, is
serious
with any moving vehicle
•
Don't risk injury or damage to your
machine with needless and foolish
stunting Don't "jump" your snow-
mobile This part of snowmobiling
should be left to the professional
"stunt" men
•Never ride on railway tracks The
sound of your moving vehicle
drown
out noise of approaching trains Your
vehicle may also become
caught in
track
junctions In many States and
Provinces snowmobiling on railway
tracks constitutes an infraction of the
law
• Never
cut through fences or attempt
to run over them
• Don't cross a river or lake without first
being positive
that the thickness of the
ice is sufficient to support both you and
your vehicle
Your life may depend on
it. If at all in doubt, take an alternate
route
• Unless you are certain of a fueling
stop, never travel
further than V2 of the
fuel remaining in your tank Even then,
leave yourself asafety margin Remem-
ber
that a snowmobile does not neces-
sarily travel the same distance each
time on the same amount of fuel A lot
depends on speed, snow conditions of
the trail and adjustment of the
carburetor
• Don't drive your snowmobile in the vi-
cinity of skiers and keep off ski trails Al-
ways respect the rights of those
who
enjoy winter in another way
• "If you drink don't snowmobile! If
you snowmobile,
don't drink!" Re-
member alcohol and gasoline don't mix
•
Don't lend your snowmobile to
inexperienced or under-age drivers In
many cases it is the vehicle owner and
not the rider
that is responsible for
mishaps Check
State or Provincial min-
imum age limits for drivers
•
Don't leave your keys in the ignition
switch It presents an invitation to
thieves and a danger to children
•
Don't get hands or feet in track or
moving parts If your vehicle gets
"bog-
ged" down, stand to one side, squeeze
the
throttle lightly, lift the rear grab
handle, and
walk out the machine

Everyone knows, or should know, the
difference between a good snowmobiler
and a poor one Most beginners think
that snowmobiling is just a matter of
starting the engine and riding away
It's
not so There are right and wrong ways
to go
about it Here are some of the pre-
ferred
methods
Tips
Where possible, enter asnowmobile
training program Thoroughly know your
vehicle and
how to drive it before at-
tempting difficult or rapid manoeuvers
SIide Suspension
During normal driving, snow will act as
alubricant and coolant
for the slider
shoes. Extensive riding on ice or sanded
snow, (not
to mention dirt, asphalt, etc.
never recommended)
will create excessive
heat build up and cause premature slider
shoe wear.
Driving Positions.
There are three driving positions on a
snowmobile-Standing, Kneeling or Sit-
ting Each presents certain advantages
depending on the nature of the terrain,
snow conditions, the turns you desire or
the personal preference of the driver
Standing-This position is undoubtedly
the best for
climbing steep hills, trav-
eling a short stretch of bumpy trail or
when manoeuvering in deep
snow In
this position, however, always keep your
knees slightly flexed to absorb surface
shocks
Kneeling-crossing a steep slope, for
example, from side to side, you will find
the kneeling position adefinite advan-
tage Place one foot on the footboard
(on the high side of the hill), the oppo-
site knee on the seat then lean into the
hill
Warning: Side hills and steep slopes are
not recommendedfor a beginner.
An alternate recommended kneeling po-
sition and one
that is frequently used, is
to place both knees on the seat.
with
one foot on each side, loosely pressing
against the seat

Sitting-for all normal driving Feet
should be on the footboards, body mid-
way back on the seat. Avoid placing
your foot inside the support braces of
the footboard
Warning: Prolonged sitting while riding
over rough terrain may
cause kidney
and/or
spinal discomfort, specially for the
driver or
passenger having an existing
back weakness.
Turning.
To snowmobile properly you must learn
to
"body english", (using the weight or
position of your body) Shifting to left or
right as the turn demands and keeping
your center of gravity as
low as possible
will give you the mark of an experienced
snowmobiler
Moving your body weight toward the
front of the vehicle, particularly in hard-
packed snow, adds pressure to the skis
and ski runners so that they bite more
deeply into the snow surface
Icy Surface.
Ice or extremely hard-packed snow can
be difficult to negotiate as both skis and
track do not have much traction Best
advice is to slow down and avoid rapid
acceleration or braking
Deep Snow.
Use the standing position recom-
mended earlier and if your vehicle con-
tinues to make reasonable headway, re-
sponding to light changes In
acceleration, you are safe enough to ex-
plore
new areas If not, turn in as wide
an arc as possible and look for firmer
trails

Steering
Rotation of the handlebar causes a
push-pull action on the steering linkage
and forces the skis to turn in the re-
quired direction Incorporated in
the
crash padded handlebar are the dimmer
switch, kill button, brake and throttle
levers
Throttle lever (A)
Located on right side of handlebar
When depressed, the lever controls the
engine speed and the engagement of
the transmission. When lever is re-
leased the engine speed returns
auto-
matically to idle
Brake lever (B)
Located on left side of handlebar When
lever is depressed, the brake is applied
When released, it automatically returns
to its original position Braking effect is
proportionate to the applied pressure on
the lever
Ignition/Lights Switch (C)
Key operated, 3 position switch
(OFF/ ON / LIGHTS) To start engine,
first turn key clockwise to ON position
To stop engine, turn key counter-clock-
wise to OFF position Turning key fully

tain desired beam position
Kill Button (E)
A push button switch located on right
side of handlebar For emergency stops,
press
button down into lower position
Before re-starting engine always de-
press
button into released upper
position
The driver of this vehicle should familiar-
rze himself with the function of this de-

vice by using it several times on first
outing, thereby being mentally prepared
for emergency situations requiring its
use
After such a situation, the source of
malfunction should be determined and
corrected before re-starting engine

Auto-rewind type located at lower right
side of console To start engine, pull
handle (See Starting Procedure)
Choke (G)
Two position, (OFF/ ON) push-pull knob
located on upper left side of console To
engage choke, pull knob
to ON position
To disengage, fully push knob to OFF
position The choke should be used for
easier cold engine starts
After engine is
warmed up, however, it is not necessary
to use choke when starting
Access Door (H)
To gain access to the carburetor turn
the two access door buttons then tilt
and remove door
Warning: Never operate your snowmobile
with the air silencer tube removed or air
silencer box door open. Serious engine
damage will occur if this notice is disre-
garded.
Tachometer (I)
The tachometer registers the impulses
of the
magneto Direct-reading dial indi-
cates (in thousands) the number of rev-
olutions per
minute (R PM) of the
engine
Speedometer (J)
The speedometer is linked directly to
the drive axle Direct-reading dial indi-
cates the speed of the vehicle in miles
per hour (M

With Ski-Doo snowmobiles, the oil must
be added to the gasoline in pre-mea-
sured amounts then both oil and gaso-
line should be thoroughly mixed to-
gether before fueling
the tank
Which Gasoline to Use
On all models the correct gasoline IS
Premium gasoline (not less than 98
octane) available from all service
stations
Caution: Never experiment with differ-
ent fuel or fuel ratios Never use regular
or no lead qasoline,t naphta.
methanol
or similar products
[ Tests are not conclusive enough therefore we do not recommend
the use of no-lead qasolmes
Which Oil to Use
Use concentrated Ski-Doo." oil available
from
your Ski-Doo dealer. This type of
oil has specially formulated oil
bases to
meet the lubrication requirements of the
Bombardier-Rotax engine.
Caution: The carburetors of the 1973
Ski-Doo snowmobile havebeen calibrated
for a mixture of gasoline and concentra-
ted Ski-Doo oil.
Unless absolutely necessary, do
not use
regular snowmobile oil. If such oil is used,
observe mixing instructions on the con-
tainer. Never use outboard or straight
mineral oils.
40:1
Fuel Mixing Ratio
The importance of using the correct fuel
mixture
cannot be overstressed Prior
experience has shown
that an incorrect
fuel ratio results in serious engine dam-
age The
correct fuel/oil ratio is 40/ 1
5 gallons, premium gasoline plus 1
pint Ski-Doo oil = correct fuel
mixture.
Note: To facilitate fuel mixing, oil should
be kept at room temperature.
'Trademark Bombardier Limited

Fuel Mixing Procedure
To mix the gasoline and oil always use a
separate clean container Never mix
directly in your snowmobile tank For
best results, acquire
two containers, ei-
ther plastic or metal. Draw from one un-
til
empty then use the second one
Warning: Gasoline is flammable and
explosive
under certain conditions.
Always perform procedures in a
well
ventilated area. Do not smoke or al-
low open flames or sparks in the vi-
cinity. If gasoline fumes are noticed
while driving. the cause should be
determined and corrected without
delay. Never add fuel while engine is
running.
• Pour the full amount of Ski-Doo oil re-
quired for the
total mixture into the
container
• Add approximately half the
amount of
gasoline to be mixed
• Shake the container thoroughly
• Add the remainder of the gasoline
• Once again thoroughly agitate the
container
• Using a funnel
with a fine mesh
screen to prevent the entry of
water and
foreign particles, transfer mixture from
container into the snowmobile tank.
Note: When using pre-mixed fuel, al-
ways shake the container thoroughly as
the oil has a tendency to settle
Warning: Never 'top up' gas tank before
placing vehicle in a warm area. At certain
temperatures,
gasoline will expand and
overflow.
Fuel consumption
Agood idea is for you to rate the fuel
consumption of your snowmobile at the
first opportunity. Starting
with a full fuel
tank, mark the
time of your departure
then note
time elapsed until tank is
half-full Repeat on different occasions
to get a mean average of your snow-
mobiles' consumption and length of
running
time under varying conditions
11

With Ski-Doo snowmobile engines, a
break-in period
IS required before run-
ning the vehicle at full throttle Manu-
facturer's recommendation for the
Bombardier-Rotax engine is 10 to 15
operating hours During this period,
maximum throttle should not exceed %
However, brief full accelerations and
speed variations
contribute to a good
break-In Continued
wide open throttle
accelerations, prolonged ' cruising'
speeds and lugging are detrimental dur-
ing the break-In period
Inspection
After the break-In period. we suggest
that each Ski-Doo snowmobile has an
inspection check This inspection is at
the discretion and expense of the ve-
hicle
owner
Fuel Tank Quantity
Check that there is sufficient fuel in the
tank for your trip A good habit to ac-
qurre is to refill the tank before starting
out each day
Since mixed fuel has a
tendency to
settle overnight, agitate the fuel In the
tank by standing on the footboards and
rocking the vehicle from side to side
Track (Daily, before first run)
Under certain
climatic conditions, the
track of a
snowmobile left outdoors
overnight may freeze to the ground or
snow surface Always make sure that
the track is free before attempting to
start the vehicle (This procedure will
eliminate unnecessary drive belt wear)
Steering Operation
Check operation of steering mechanism
by rotating
the handlebar several times
from side to Side If roughness or bind-
ing IS felt, check for ice or snow that
may be blocking the mechanism

Throttle and Brake
Depress and release levers several
times to check that they operate easily
and
smoothly The throttle lever should
return to the idle position
when re-
leased The brake lever should be fully
applied when it has
minimum clearance
from the handlebar grip (see
Main-
tenance Brake) If the levers do not re-
turn swiftly, remove cables and / or
housings and replace Re-check lever
operation
Warning: Th rottle mechan ism
should be checked for free move-
ment before starting engine. Once
all components are checked and
functioning properly, you can start
your Ski-Doo snowmobile.
Emergency situations are accepted haz-
ards
with any moving vehicle Ahidden
rock or
stump on the trail, aburnt light
bulb while driving at night. an
empty
fuel tank while miles from anywhere,
can all cause varying degrees of incon-
venience Unlike an automobile,
which
has a distinct advantage in that service
stations are usually within walking dis-
tance,
snowmobiles are specifically
designed to travel off
the highways.
When the unexpected happens, the
driver often has only his own ingenuity
and
that of his companions to return
home safely Fortunately, 9 out of
10
difficulties encountered on the trail can
be fixed on the spot However, you
must
carry at least a minimum assortment of
Tools and Spare Parts to enable you to
effect
minor repairs
Emergency Materials
In addition to those tools which the
manufacturer provides, you should carry
the following
Tools: General Purpose Pliers-s-Adjust-
able Wrench
(%" opening)-Flashlight
Spare Parts: Spark Plug-Drive belt-
Headlamp and Taillight bulbs-Throttle
Cable and Housing-Starting and tow-
Ing rope.
Important: Always carry spare plugs
and drive belt Check condition of spark

the ground.
Note: Before
starting the engine make
sure the kill button IS in the released up-
per position
To start the engine:
1Insert key in ignition and turn to ON

2Engage choke (Choke is not neces-
sary if engine is
warmed up)
3 Test
throttle operation then apply
throttle lever slightly
4 Grasp manual starter handle firmly
and pull slowly until aresistance is felt
then pull vigorously and engine will
start Allow handle to return slowly to
its original position If engine does not
start repeat the procedure
Note: Do not pull starting rope to its
fullest
extent or allow starting handle to
"fly back" to its original position
5
Release throttle and disengage
choke, immediately engine has
started
6
Allow the engine to warm up before
operating at full throttle
Flooding
If cold engine is difficult to start, contin-
ued choking will only lead to a 'flooded'
condition
If engine has not started after the first
few trys but appears ready to start re-
turn choke to OFF position Depress
throttle lever fully and try to start the
engine
Warning: Release throttle lever im-
mediately after engine starts.
If engine will not start, check for pos-
sible cause
