Shifting to reverse mode on these snowmobiles is done by turning the ignition key
clockwise completely and releasing it when the engine is running. Wait unitl the
reverse buzzer sounds and the DESS/RER pilot lamp begins to blink in the dash

Use regular unleaded gasoline, available from most service stations. The gasoline
used must have an octane number 95 or higher.

&$87,21Never experiment with other fuels or fuel ratios. The use of
unrecommended fuel can result in snowmobile performance deterioration and
damage to critical parts in the fuel system and engine components. Do not
mistake oil reservoir cap for fuel tank cap. Oil reservoir cap is identified OIL.


Always stop engine before refueling. Open cap slowly. If a differential pressure
condition is noticed (whistling sound heard when loosening fuel tank cap) have
vehicle inspected and/or repaired before further operation. Fuel is flammable and
explosive under certain conditions. Never use an open flame to check fuel level.
Never smoke or allow flame or spark in vicinity. Always work in a well-ventilated
area. Never top up the fuel tank before placing the vehicle in a warm area. As
temperature increases, fuel expands and may overflow. Always wipe off any fuel
spillage from the vehicle.

&$87,21Use only oil that flows at - 40°C (- 40°F).
Oil is contained in the injection oil reservoir.
Use only two-stroke engine synthetic injection oil, sold by authorized Lynx dealer
CAUTION: The BOMBARDIER Formula XP-S II oil is specially formulated and
tested for the severe requirements of this engine. Use only BOMBARDIER
FORMULA XP-S II oil. There is no known equivalent on the market for the
moment. If a high quality equivalent were available, it could be used.
The BOMBARDIER FORMULA XP-S II synthetic injection oil provides superior
lubrication, reduced engine component wear and oil deposit, thus maintaining
maximum-level performance and antifriction properties. This synthetic injection oil
meets the latest ASTM and JASO standards by ensuring high biodegradability and
low exhaust smoke.
&$87,21Never use four-stroke petroleum or synthetic motor oil and never mix
these with outboard motor oil. Do not use NMMA TC-W, TC-W2 or TC-W3
outboard two-stroke engine oils or ashless two-stroke engine oils. Avoid mixing
different brands of API TC oil as resulting chemical reactions may cause severe
engine damage.
7(&PRGHOV
These models are equipped with a 4-stroke engine.
Use BOMBARDIER 4-stroke synthetic oil 0W40 (P/N 293 600 054 — 12 x 1L).

IMPORTANT: On 2-TEC models if the low battery voltage pilot lamp is on, battery
would not have enough power to start the engine. In this case, use the manual
rewind starter.
IMPORTANT: On 2-TEC and 4-TEC models if the battery is dead, engine cannot
be started. Have the battery recharged or replaced.
Re-check throttle control lever operation.
Ensure that the engine cut-out switch is in the ON position.
Ensure the tether cord cut-out cap is set in place and that the cord is attached to
your clothing.
Turn ignition key clockwise completely to activate electric starter.
