This manual uses the following sym-
bols:
... WARNING: Identifies an instruc-
~ tion which, if not followed, could
cause personal injury.
.., CAUTION: Denotes an instruc-
.. tion which, if not followed, could
severely damage vehicle components.
ONOTE: Indicates supplementary
information needed to fully
com-
an instruction.
Although the mere reading of such in-
formation does not eliminate the haz-
ard, your understanding of the infor-.
mation will promote its correct use.

SAFETY IN MAINTENANCE
Observe the following
precautions:
• Throttle mechanism should be
checked for free movement before
starting engine.
• The snowmobile engine can be
stopped by activating the emergen-
cy cut-out or tether switches or tur-
ning off the key.
• Engine should be running only when
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 when the track
is raised
off the ground.
• It can be dangerous to run engine
with the cab removed.
• Gasoline is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Always
manipulate in a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow open flames
or sparks in the vicinity. If gasoline
fumes are noticed while driving, the
cause should be determined and
corrected
without delay.
•Maintain your vehicle in top mecha-
nical condition at all times.
• Your snowmobile is not designed to
be driven or on black top,
bare earth, or other abrasive sur-
faces. On such surfaces abnormal
and excessive wear of critical parts
is inevitable.
•Installation of other than standard
equipment, including ski-spreaders,
bumpers, racks, etc. Icould
severely the stability and safe-
ty of your vehicle. Avoid adding on
accessories that alter the basic ve-
hicle configuration.
•Whenever the vehicle is parked out-
doors, overnight or for a long peri-
od, it is suggested to protect it
against the inclemency of the
wheather
with asnowmobile cover.
• Do
not lubricate throttle and/or
brake cables and housings.

forwarded us the manufacturer's copy of the Customer Warranty Registra-
tion. The

Q: Ibought my snowmobile in O'King County but I snowmobile in Washington
County. Can the dealer in Washington County accept warranty

tration is the key element in
providing the servicing dealer with the necessary
data to complete warranty claim forms. This information is also used to
notify
owners in the event of asafety recall.

A: These terms are overlap each other in areas. Some ex-
amples may include: running the machine

BREAK-IN PERIOD
With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile
engines, a break-in pe.riod is required
before running the vehicle at full
throt-
tle. Engine's manufacturer recommen-
dation is 10to 15operating hours. Dur-
ing this period, maximum throttle
should not exceed
3/4, however, brief
full acceleration and speed variations
contribute to a good break-in. Con-
tinued wide open throttle accelera-
tions, prolonged cruising speeds, and
lugging are detrimental during the
break-in period.
aNOTE: For the break-in period
only, 1 (16 oz) can of Bombardier
50/1 engine oil should be added to t.he
first full fuel tank filling, at a 70/1 ratio.
This will assure additionnal protection
during the initial break-in .
.. CAUTION: Remove and clean
• spark plugs after engine break-in.
aNOTE: A
new drive belt requires
a break-in period of 15-25 km (10-
15 miles).
14
10-Hour Inspection
As with any precision piece of mechan-
ical equipernent, we suggest that after
the first 10 hours of operation or 30
days after the purchase, whichever
comes first,
your vehicle be checked
by your dealer. This inspection will give
you the
opportunity to discuss the un-
answered questions you may have en-
countered during the first hours of
operation. Remember that it is easier
to remedy at this timethan to allow the
snowmobile to operate until a possible
failure occurs.
The 10 hours inspection is at the ex-
pense of the vehicle owner.

10-HOUR INSPECTION CHECK LIST I

FUEL PRE-START CHECK
e
Recommended Gasoline
Use regular leaded gasoline available
from all service stations.
.. CAUTION: Never experiment
'Y with different fuel or fuel ratios.
Never use naphtha, methanol or similar
products.
ONOTE: For the break-in period
only, 1 (16 oz) can of Bombardier
snowmovile oil should be added to the
first full fuel tank filling, at a 70/1 ratio.
This will assure additional protection
during the initial break-in.
A. WARNING: Never "top up" the
Tgas tank before placing the vehi-
cle in a warm area. At certain tempera-
tures, gasoline will expand and over-
flow.
Recommended Injection Oil
Use concentrated Bombardier snow-
mobile oil available from your dealer.
