FOREWORD
Know Before you Go
To learn how to reduce the risk for you or bystanders being injured or
killed, read the following sections before you operate the vehicle:
–
SAFETY INFORMATION
– VEHICLE INFORMATION .
Also read all safety labels on your snowmobile and watch atten-
tively your
SAFETY VIDEO located at www.brplynx.com/en/own-
ers/safety/safety-information.html.
We highly recommend that you take a safety riding course. Please
check with your dealer or local authorities for availability in your area.
Failure to follow the warnings contained in this Operator's Guide can
result in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
The proper functioning of a snowmobile depends in part on the sur-
face on which it is driven.
Driving on very hard or snow-free surfaces compromises the cooling
of the engine and the lubrication of rear suspension components.
Avoid prolonged driving on such surfaces.
Safety Messages

used in this guide are explained as follows:
The safety alert symbol indicates a potential injury hazard.
WARNING

rious injury or death.
CAUTION Indicates a hazard situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.
