FINAL PREPARATION
CAUTION: [1] XP-STM synthetic 2-stroke oil
and XP-S 2-stroke synthetic blend oil are
specially formulated and tested for the severe
requirements of these engines. Use of any
other brand two-stroke oil may void the limited
warranty. Use only XP-STM synthetic 2-stroke
oil or XP-S 2-stroke synthetic blend. There
is no known equivalent on the market for
the moment. If a high quality equivalent
were available, it could be used.
XP-STM mineral injection oil is a special blend
of basic oil and additives especially selected to
ensure unequalled lubrication, engine cleanliness
and minimum spark plug fouling.
The XP-STM 2-stroke synthetic blend and
XP-STM synthetic 2-stroke oil provides superior
lubrication, reduced engine component wear
and oil deposit, thus maintaining maximum-level
performance and antifriction properties. These
synthetic and synthetic blend injection oil meets
the latest ASTM and JASO standards by ensuring
high biodegradability and low exhaust smoke.
CAUTION: 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.
WARNING
Wipe off any oil spills. Oil is highly flammable.
Model(s): 4-TEC Models
These models are equipped with a 4-stroke engine.
Use XP-S 0W40 synthetic 4-stroke oil
(P/N 293 600 054 )), or a high quality equivalent.
Break-in Period
Model(s): All Models except 4-TEC and 600 HO
SDI
To assure additional protection during the
initial engine break-in, 500 mL (17 U.S. oz) of
recommended injection oil should be added to fuel
for the first full filling of fuel tank. Always remove
and clean spark plugs after engine break-in.
Model(s): 4-TEC and 600 HO SDI
For fuel injection engines, no oil needs to
be added to the first fuel tank.

FINAL PREPARATION
Bleed the small oil lines between pump and
intake manifold by running engine at idle while
holding the pump lever in fully open position.
Model(s): TUV 600 HO SDI Only
Oil injection pump is factory set. However, if
adjustment needs to be checked or modified,
refer to the SERVICE BULLETIN 2005–8.
Brake Fluid Level

A06G1O6
Model(s): All except LT
Check brake fluid in reservoir for proper level [
[[

]]
].
Add brake fluid as required.
Use brake fluid:
–SRF(DOT4)(P/N293600063)or
–GTLMA (DOT 4) (P/N 293 600 062).
CAUTION: To avoid serious damage to the
brake system, use only DOT 4 brake fluid from
a sealed container. Do not use brake fluid
taken from old or already opened containers,
nor mix different fluids for topping off.
Coolant Reservoir Level
Model(s): Liquid Cooled Only
CAUTION: Vehicle must be on a level surface
before checking any fluid level.
Check coolant level in the overflow coolant tank.
When the engine is cold, the level must be
between minimum [
[[
[2]
]]
]andmaximum[
[[
[1]
]]
] marks.
Use Bombardier premix coolant (P/N 219 700 362)
or a blend of 50/50 distilled water and
ethylene-glycol .
CAUTION: To prevent rust formation or
freezing conditions, always use ethylene glycol
antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors
specially recommended for aluminum engines.
Always use 50% antifreeze and 50% water for
this particular type of snowmobile.
Track Adjustments
Refer to SHOP MANUAL and to TECHNICAL
DATA section at the end of this bulletin to
adjust track tension and alignment.
Brake Disk
Remove any rust built-up on braking surfaces.
Clean brake disk with pulley flange cleaner
(P/N 413 711 809).
Driven Pulley
Model(s): All except LT
It is usual to experience spring settings during
break-in period of a new spring.
The factory spring preload is slightly higher
to compensate for springs settings.
Specifications in TECHNICAL DATA are applicable
after break-in period (about 10 hours of use).
