Getting Ready to Safely Operate the
MXZ 200
NOTE: This section and Operating
the MXZ 200 section must be read
and explained to the operator by the
owner/parent/guardian. Refer to
Control Locations or the snowmo-
bile while explaining this section.
Like most riders, you are anxiously wait-
ing to drive the snowmobile. Remember
that the snowmobile is not a toy. It must
be driven carefully at all times!
First, you must understand the controls,
know where the controls are, and know
how to use them correctly.
A. BRAKE LEVER — To slow
down or stop the snowmobile, the
brake lever should be pulled
(squeezed) toward the handlebar
grip.
NOTE: When the brake is being
used, the throttle lever must be in
the idle (released) position.
B. THROTTLE LEVER — Controls
the speed of the snowmobile. The
closer the throttle control lever is to
the handlebar grip (the more it is
squeezed), the faster the snowmo-
bile will go.
C. IGNITION SWITCH — When
the key is in the OFF position, the
engine will neither start nor run. If
the key is in the RUN position, the
engine will start and run.
D. EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
If something happens that you do
not understand or if there is an
emergency, move the emergency
stop switch to the OFF (down) posi-
tion to immediately stop the engine.
E. TETHER SWITCH — The
engine will neither start nor run
unless the tether switch cap is con-
nected to the tether switch located
on the top right-hand side of the con-
sole. The tether cord MUST BE
attached to the operator before
attempting to start the engine.
Second, you must check several things
every time before the engine is started.
A. Make sure the brake lever works
properly (moves freely) by pulling
(squeezing) the brake lever and
releasing it several times.
B. Make sure the throttle lever works
properly (moves freely) and that it
snaps back to the idle position
quickly when it is released. The idle
position is when the throttle lever is
farthest away from the handlebar
grip. If the throttle lever does not
snap back quickly, the engine must
not be started and the throttle system
must be repaired.
C. Make sure that you have enough
clothes on to keep yourself warm but
NEVER wear clothes such as long
or loose scarves or long shoe laces
that could get caught in a moving
part of the snowmobile.
Third, make sure that you can answer yes
to all of the following questions before
each ride.
A. Do you have permission from the
owner or parent or guardian to oper-
ate the snowmobile?
B. Are you wearing an approved safety
helmet?
C. Are you wearing something to pro-
tect your eyes (such as goggles or a
visor)?
D. Are you dressed warmly enough?
E. Has your parent or guardian checked
to make sure you have enough gaso-
line?
F. Do the throttle lever and brake lever
move freely?
G. Are all shields and covers in the
right place and is the hood securely
latched?
H. Do you have a safe area to ride in? Is
the area free of rocks, wires, trees,
traffic, etc.?

15
Operating the MXZ 200
You must be a responsible, careful, and
considerate snowmobile operator at all
times. Your safety is our concern and
must always be yours.
A. When you are learning how to oper-
ate the snowmobile, have a parent or
guardian take you to an open area to
practice figure eights, starting, and
stopping. This practice is important
and will give you a good “feel” of
the snowmobile. You will also be
able to learn how the snowmobile
handles under different conditions
(deep snow, hard-packed snow, etc.).
B. Always sit on the seat and keep both
feet on the running boards when
operating the snowmobile. Do not
get off the snowmobile until it has
come to a complete stop.
C. Never drive the snowmobile faster
than a safe speed. Do not drive too
close to roads, buildings, trees, other
snowmobiles, or people. Never
show off!
D. Never operate the snowmobile
unless the headlight and taillight are
in working order.
E. The snowmobile is designed for
your enjoyment. DO NOT give rides
to your friends. It is made to carry
only one person.
F. Do not pull sleds, sleighs, etc.,
behind the snowmobile.
G. If you get stuck, shut the engine off
and get help.

Snowmobile
Identification
This snowmobile has two identification
numbers: The Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) is stamped into the right
side of the tunnel and the Engine Serial
Number (ESN) is stamped into the front
side of the crankcase.
0726-200
0744-926
These numbers are required by the dealer
to complete warranty claims properly. No
warranty will be allowed by BRP if either
the ESN or VIN is removed or mutilated
in any way.
Always provide the snowmobile model
name, VIN, and engine serial number
when contacting an authorized BRP
Snowmobile dealer for parts, service,
accessories, or warranty. If the complete
engine must be replaced, ask the dealer to
notify BRP for correct registration infor-
mation.
Gasoline — Oil
This snowmobile has a four-cycle
engine; therefore, it is unnecessary to
premix gasoline and oil.
Fuel Requirements
Alcohol fuel blending varies by country
and region. Your vehicle has been
designed to operate using the recom-
mended fuels, however, be aware of the
following:
CAUTION
Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline
will oxidize; the result is loss of
octane, volatile compounds, and the
production of gum and varnish depos-
its which can damage the fuel system.

17
Use of fuel containing alcohol above the
percentage specified by government reg-
ulations is not recommended and can
result in the following problems in the
fuel system components:
• Starting and operating difficulties.
• Deterioration of rubber or plastic
parts.
• Corrosion of metal parts.
• Damage to internal engine parts.
• Inspect frequently for the presence
of fuel leaks or other fuel system
abnormalities if you suspect the
presence of alcohol in gasoline
exceeds the current government
regulations.
• Alcohol blended fuels attract and
hold moisture which may lead to fuel
phase separation and can result in
engine performance problems or
engine damage.
Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded gasoline containing MAX-
IMUM 10% ethanol. The gasoline must
have the following minimum octane
requirements.
Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited by
U.S. EPA Regulations.
Recommended Oil
NOTE: This snowmobile comes
from the factory with SAE 0W-40
Synthetic oil installed.
The recommended oil to use in the
engine is 0W-40 Synthetic oil. See the
viscosity chart for details.

Engine Break-In
The engine requires a short break-in
period (approximately 10 operating
hours) before being subjected to heavy
load conditions or full-throttle operation.
Strict adherence to the break-in proce-
dure will contribute to optimum perfor-
mance and longevity of the engine.
During break-in, a maximum of 1/2
throttle is recommended; however, brief
full-throttle accelerations and variations
in driving speeds contribute to good
engine break-in. After the 10 hour break-
in period, the snowmobile may be taken
to an authorized BRP Snowmobile dealer
for a checkup and oil change. This ser-
vice is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.

Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce engine
noise and improve the total performance
of the engine. If the engine is run without
the muffler installed, severe engine dam-
age will result.
Suspension
An optional Heavy Duty Spring Kit is
available from any BRP snowmobile
dealer. This kit includes stiffer ski shock
springs as well as stiffer rear torsion
springs.
Battery
It is extremely important that the battery
be maintained at full charge at all times
and that the battery connections be clean
and tight. If charging the battery becomes
necessary, refer to Battery sub-section in
the Maintenance section.
Jump-Starting
NOTE: BRP does not recommend
jump-starting a snowmobile with a
dead battery but rather to remove
the battery, service it, and correctly
charge it; however, in an emergency,
it may be necessary to jump-start a
snowmobile. If so, use the following
procedure to carefully and safely
complete this procedure.
1. On the snowmobile to be jump-started,
slide any terminal boots away.
2. Inspect the battery for any signs of
electrolyte leaks, loose terminals, or
bulging sides. Leaking or bulging
battery cases may indicate a frozen
or shorted battery.
3. Inspect the vehicle to be used for
jump-starting to determine if voltage
and ground polarity are compatible.
The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC,
negative ground electrical system.
4. Move the vehicle to be used for the
jump-start close enough to ensure
the jumper cables easily reach; then
set and lock the brakes, shut off all
electrical accessories, and turn the
ignition switch OFF.
NOTE: Make sure all switches on
the snowmobile to be jump-started
are turned OFF.
5. Attach one clamp of the positive
(red) cable to the positive (+) termi-
nal (1) of the dead battery (C) being
careful not to touch any metal with
the other clamp; then attach the
other clamp of the positive (red)
cable to the positive (+) terminal (2)
of the good battery (B).
CAUTION
Jump-starting the vehicle without a
battery is not advisable as it may
cause damage. Additionally, running
the unit without a battery in place or
the use of a “Jumper Pack” could
cause damage to the electrical sys-
tem.
! WARNING
Improper handling or connecting of a
battery may result in severe injury
including acid burns, electrical burns,
or blindness as a result of an explosion.
Always remove rings and watches.
! WARNING
Any time service is performed on a bat-
tery, the following must be observed:
keep sparks, open flame, cigarettes, or
any other flame away. Always wear
safety glasses. Protect skin and cloth-
ing when handling a battery. When ser-
vicing a battery in an enclosed space,
keep the area well-ventilated.
! WARNING
If any of these conditions exist, DO
NOT attempt to jump-start, boost, or
charge the battery. An explosion
could occur causing serious injury.
CAUTION
Always make sure the electrical sys-
tems are of the same voltage and
ground polarity prior to connecting
jumper cables. If not, severe electri-
cal damage may occur.
