FOREWORD
Congratulations on your purchase of a new SKI-DOO snowmobile.
Whatever model you have chosen, it is backed by the Bombardier
warranty and a network of authorized Ski-Doo snowmobile dealers
ready to provide the parts, service or accessories you may require.
Your dealer is committed to your satisfaction. He has taken training
to perform the initial set-up and inspection of your snowmobile as
well as completed the final adjustment required to suit your specific
weight and riding environment before you took possession. At deliv-
ery, your dealer would have explained the snowmobile controls and
provided you with a brief explanation of the various suspension ad-
justments. We trust you have taken full advantage of this! If you
need more complete servicing information, please ask your dealer
about the proper model-year
Ski-Doo Shop Manual.
At delivery, you were also informed of the warranty coverage and
completed the Warranty Registration Form which is to be sent to us
for processing. In the near future you should be receiving a warranty
card which will confirm our receipt of the registration as well as be
used for warranty or recall purposes.
WARRANTY CARD
You are invited to contact our customer service staff should you ex-
perience problems which cannot be resolved by your dealer.

;SAFETY MEASURES
Observe the Following Warnings:
;For vehicles with a parking brake always engage brake when ve-
hicle is not in use.
;Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement before
starting engine.
;The snowmobile engine can be stopped by activating the emer-
gency cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or turning off the key.
;Engine should be running only when belt guard and/or pulley
guard is secured in place. Never run the engine without drive belt
installed. Running an unloaded engine can prove to be dangerous.
;Never run the engine when the track is raised off the ground or
with the hood opened or removed.
;Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all
times.
;Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets,
roads or highways. In most States and Provinces, it is considered
an illegal operation.
;Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while
installed on snowmobile.
;Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.
;Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. Unless other-
wise specified, engine should be turned OFF and cold for all lubri-
cation and maintenance procedures.
;Some snowmobiles are designed for the driver only and no provi-
sions have been made for a passenger.
;The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by
novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.
;The engine and components used in a particular model should not
be used on other models. Use of Rotax®snowmobile engines in
other than SKI-DOO snowmobiles is not recommended or autho-
rized by Bombardier Inc.
;Most components of this snowmobile are built with parts dimen-
sioned in the metric system. Most fasteners are metric and must
not be replaced by customary fasteners or vice versa.

OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why must my snowmobile be registered at the factory? After all
I do have my original invoice as proof of when I purchased my
snowmobile.
A: Registration is very important and your dealer must register
your snowmobile with Bombardier Inc. Make sure the card
has been sent. All of this will allow you to:
a) have warranty work performed at any authorized Bombar-
dier dealer in North America. Your registration card will pro-
vide the dealer with all the necessary data to complete
warranty claim forms.
b) be advised by Bombardier should there be a safety recall or
particular warranty campaign.
c) be contacted much faster by the police, the minute they
find your stolen snowmobile (if such a case occurs).
Q: Why must my snowmobile be registered with the governing
body having jurisdiction over snowmobile use?
A: Snowmobile registration has two purposes: In many provinc-
es or states it is mandatory to register a snowmobile in the
same way as for a car. It allows the state or province to main-
tain records of existing snowmobiles and governmental agen-
cies use part of the registration fees for establishing and
maintaining trails.
Q: Where can I find information on the lubrication and maintenance
of my snowmobile?
A: In the Operator’s Guide provided with the snowmobile at the
time of delivery.
Q: Will the entire warranty be voided or cancelled, if I do not operate
or maintain my new snowmobile exactly as specified in the
Op-
erator’s Guide
?
A: The warranty of the new snowmobile cannot be “Voided” or
“Cancelled” if predelivered by an authorized dealer. However,
if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance
other than is shown in the
Operator’s Guide , THAT failure may
not be covered under warranty. This includes service work
performed by the customer, especially the critical adjust-
ments: ignition timing, carburetion and oil injection/or oil mix-
ture.
mmo9802a.bk : mmo9802b.fm5 Page 12 Wednesday, August 27, 1997 11:36 AM

13
Q: Would you give some examples of abnormal use or strain, ne-
glect or abuse which may affect warranty?
A: These terms are general and overlap each other in areas.
Some specific examples may include: running the snowmo-
bile out of oil, chain failure caused by a Iack of lubrication, op-
erating the snowmobile with a broken or damaged part which
causes another part to fail, and so on. If you have any specific
questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your
dealer for advice.
Q: What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
A: The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of normal
maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accidents and
collision damage, as well as oils, and spark plugs, and inciden-
tal or consequential damages costs as explained in the war-
ranty.
Q: Are “Genuine” Bombardier replacement parts used in warranty
repairs covered by warranty?
A: Yes. When installed by an authorized dealer, any “Genuine”
Bombardier part used in warranty repairs assumes the re-
maining warranty that exists on the snowmobile.
Q: If I sell my snowmobile within the warranty period, will the new
owner qualify for the balance of the warranty?
A: Yes, provided the re-sale has been registered with the manu-
facturer.
Q: How can I receive the best owner assistance?
A: The satisfaction and goodwill of the owners of Bombardier
products are of primary concern to your dealer and Bombar-
dier Inc. Normally, any problems that arise in connection with
the sales transaction or the operation of your snowmobile will
be handled by your Dealers Sales or Service Departments. It
is recognized, however, that despite the best intentions of ev-
eryone concerned, misunderstandings will sometimes occur.
Frequently, complaints are the result of a breakdown in com-
munications and can quickly be resolved by a member of the
dealership management. If the problem already has been re-
viewed with the Sales Manager or Service Manager, contact
the Dealer himself or the General Manager.
We are always pleased to receive your comments on the
SKI-DOO snowmobile.

HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR SNOWMOBILE
The main components of your snowmobile (engine and frame) are
identified by different serial numbers. It may sometimes become
necessary to locate these numbers for warranty purposes or to trace
your snowmobile in the event of loss. These numbers are required
by the dealer to complete warranty claims properly. No warranty will
be allowed by Bombardier Inc. if the engine serial number or VIN is
removed or mutilated in any way. We strongly recommend that you
take note of all the serial numbers on your snowmobile and supply
them to your insurance company.
