FOREWORD
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Ski-Doo®snowmobile.
Whatever model you have chosen, it is backed by the Bombardier
Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) warranty and a network of autho-
rized 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 delivery, you were informed of the warranty coverage and signed
the
PREDELIVERY CHECK LIST to ensure your new vehicle was pre-
pared to your entire satisfaction.
Know Before you Go
To learn how to reduce the risk for you or bystanders being injured or
killed, read the following sections before you operate the vehicle:
–
SAFETY INFORMATION
– VEHICLE INFORMATION .
Also read all safety labels on your snowmobile and watch attentively
your
SAFETY VIDEO located at www.ski-doo.com/safety.
We highly recommend that you take a safety riding course. Please
check with your dealer or local authorities for availability in your area.
Failure to follow the warnings contained in this Operator's Guide can

The proper functioning of a snowmobile depends in part on the sur-
face on which it is driven.
Driving on very hard or snow-free surfaces compromises the cooling
of the engine and the lubrication of rear suspension components.
Avoid prolonged driving on such surfaces.

SAFETY
INFORMATION
____ SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 9

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breath-
ing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness,
nausea, confusion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be
present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be
overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-
ing, leave the area immediately, get fresh air and seek medical treat-
ment.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed ar-
eas such as garages, carports or barns. Even if you try to venti-
late engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon
monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– Never run the vehicle outdoors where engine exhaust can be
drawn into a building through openings such as windows and
doors.
Avoid Gasoline Fires and Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel vapors
can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from
the engine. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, follow these in-
structions:
– Use only an approved gasoline container to store fuel.
– Strictly adhere to instructions in
VEHICLE FUELING PROCE-
DURE
.
– Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly in-
stalled.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.
– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
– If you swallow gasoline, get any in your eye or inhale gasoline va-
por, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on you, wash with soap and water and change your
clothes.
10 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Burns from Hot Parts
The exhaust system and engine become hot during operation. Avoid
contact during and shortly after operation to avoid burns.
Accessories and Modifications
Do not make unauthorized modifications, or use attachments or ac-
cessories that are not approved by BRP. Since these changes have
not been tested by BRP, they may increase the risk of crashes or in-
juries, and they can make the vehicle illegal.
Tunnel accessories must be loaded onto vehicle as per instructions
provided for each accessories.
See your authorized Ski-Doo dealer for available accessories for your
vehicle.
____ SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 11

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these in-
structions:
– Always make a pre-ride inspection BEFORE you start the engine.
– Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and
return to idle position before starting engine.
– Always attach tether cord eyelet to clothing before starting the
engine.
– Never operate the engine without belt guard and brake disk
guard securely installed or, with hood or side panels opened
or removed. Never run the engine without drive belt installed.
Running an unloaded engine such as without drive belt or with
track raised, can be dangerous.
– Always engage parking brake before starting the engine.
– Everyone is a beginner the first time he sits behind the controls
of a snowmobile regardless of previous experience in driving any
other type of vehicle. The safe use of your snowmobile depends
on many conditions such as visibility, speed, weather, environ-
ment, traffic, vehicle condition and the condition of the operator.
– Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snow-
mobile. Study your operator's guide paying particular attention
to cautions and warnings. Join your local snowmobile club: its
social activities and trail systems are planned for both fun and
safety. Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer,
friend, fellow club member or enroll in your state or provincial
safety training program.
– Any new operator must read and understand all safety labels on
the snowmobile, the Operator's Guide and watch the
SAFETY
VIDEO
at www.ski-doo.com/safety before operating the snow-
mobile. Only allow a new operator to operate the snowmobile in
a restricted flat area, at least until he is completely familiar with
its operation. If snowmobile operator's training course is offered
in your area, have him enroll.
– 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.
– Snowmobiles are used in many areas and in many snow condi-
tions. Not all models perform the same in similar conditions. Al-
ways consult your snowmobile dealer when selecting the snow-
mobile model for your particular needs and uses.
12 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator or by-
stander if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which are
beyond the operator's or snowmobile's capabilities or intended
use.
– BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old of age.
Verify also your local laws for age and training requirements.
– It is very important to inform any operator, regardless of his
experience, of the handling characteristics of this snowmobile.
The snowmobile configuration, such as ski stance, ski type, sus-
pension type, track length, width and type vary from a model to
another. The snowmobile handling is greatly influenced by these
characteristics.
– The novice operator should become familiar with the snowmobile
through practice on a level area at slow speeds before venturing
far afield.
– Know your local laws. Federal, state, provincial and local gov-
ernment agencies have enacted laws and regulations pertaining
to the safe use and operation of snowmobiles. It is your re-
sponsibility as a snowmobiler to learn and obey these laws and
regulations. Respect and observance will result in safer snow-
mobiling for all. Be aware of the liability property damages and
insurance laws regarding your equipment.
– Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or re-
spond quickly enough to the unexpected. Always ride at a speed
which is suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own
ability. Know your local rules. Speed limit may be in effect and
meanttobeobserved.
– Always keep right hand side of the trail.
– Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and by-
standers.
– Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers per-
formed by professional riders under ideal and/or controlled condi-
tions. You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they
are beyond your level of riding ability.
– Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol. They slow reaction
time and impair judgement.
– Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public
streets, roads or highways.
____ SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 13

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Avoid road traveling. If you must do so, and it is permitted, re-
duce speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn
on paving. When crossing a road, make a full stop, then look
carefully in both directions before crossing at a 90° angle. Be
wary of parked vehicles.
– Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but be-
cause of reduced visibility, be extra cautious. Avoid unfamiliar
terrain and be sure your lights are working. Always carry a flash-
light and spare light bulbs.
– Never remove any original equipment from your snowmobile.
Each vehicle has many built in safety features. Such features
include various guards and consoles, plus reflective materials
and safety labels.
– Nature is wonderful but don't let it distract your attention from
driving. If you want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop
your snowmobile on the side of the trail so that you don't become
a hazard to others.
– Fences represent a very serious threat for both you and your
snowmobile. Give a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
– Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious acci-
dents.
– Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protection and a
face shield.
– Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such as
avalanche and other natural or man made hazards or obstacles.
– Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snow-
mobile in front of you slows for any reason, its operator could be
harmed through your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping distance
between you and the snowmobile in front of you. Depending
on the terrain condition, stopping may require a little more space
than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driving.
– Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be haz-
ardous. You could run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage
your snowmobile. Remember, your snowmobile is capable of
traveling further in half an hour than you may be able to walk
in a day. Use the “buddy system”. Always ride with a friend
or member of your snowmobile club. Even then, tell someone
where you are going and the approximate time you plan to return.
14 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate
and freezes over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempt-
ing to turn or brake on this surface could cause your vehicle to
spin out of control. Never brake or attempt speeding or turning
on glare ice. If you do happen to travel over such a condition,
reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
– Never “jump” with your snowmobile unless you're an experi-
enced driver and the stunt is done in controlled / racing condition.
– While on safari, do not “gun” the throttle. Snow and ice can be
thrown back into the path of a following snowmobile. In addition,
when “gunning” the throttle, the vehicle digs into and leaves an
irregular snow surface for others.
– Safaris are both fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do
the same as you and fail. When riding with others, limit your abil-
ities to the experience of others.
– In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by
pressing down on the emergency engine stop switch or by
pulling the tether cord cap from the engine cut-off switch, while
applying brake.
– Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.
– Never run the engine in a non-ventilated area and/or if vehicle is
left unattended.
– Never attempt any fuel system or electrical system maintenance
or repair. Any maintenance or repair of these systems must be
performed by an authorized Ski-Doo dealer.
– Always remove the tether cord cap from engine cut-off switch
when vehicle is not in operation in order to prevent accidental
engine starting, to avoid unauthorized use by children or others
or theft.
– NEVER stand behind or near a rotating track. Debris could be
projected causing severe injuries. To remove packed snow or
ice, stop engine, tilt and hold vehicle on its side and use wrench
tool on the belt guard.
– Do not stud the track unless it has been approved for studs. At
speed, a studded track that has not been approved for studs could
tear and separate from vehicle. See an authorized Ski-Doo dealer
for current specific studding availability and applications.
____ SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 15

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– You may stud the track on this vehicle model. However, you
MUST only use the BRP approved type stud for use on Ski-Doo
snowmobiles. DO NOT EVER use conventional studs because
the track thickness is thinner then our standard tracks. The stud
could tear off of track and separate from vehicle.
– Always wear an approved helmet and follow the same dressing
guidelines as those recommended for the operator and described
in this guide.
– Make sure that you are able to achieve a stable stance, both feet
resting positively on the footboards of footrests with good grip,
and that you are able to hold on firmly to the handholds.
16 ____SAFETY INFORMATION____

RIDING THE VEHICLE
Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of other recre-
ationists or bystanders.
You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as well as
training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There may be notice-
able handling and performance differences from one snowmobile to
the other.
A snowmobile is relatively simple to operate but like any other
vehicle or mechanical equipment, it can be hazardous if you are
reckless, thoughtless or inattentive. We encourage you to have an
Annual Safety Inspection of your snowmobile. Please contact an
authorized Ski-Doo dealer for further details. Though not required,
it is recommended that an authorized Ski-Doo dealer performs the
preseason preparation of your snowmobile. Each visit to your autho-
rized Ski-Doo dealer is a great opportunity for your dealer to verify if
your snowmobile is included in any safety campaign. We also urge
you to visit your authorized Ski-Doo dealer in a timely manner if you
become aware of any safety related campaigns.
See an authorized Ski-Doo dealer for available accessories you may
require.
Before venturing on the trails, operate the snowmobile in a restricted
flat area until you are completely familiar with its operation and feel
comfortable that you can safely tackle a more demanding task. Have
an enjoyable and safe ride.
Pre-Ride Inspection
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating
the vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical
controls, safety features and mechanical components before
starting.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Remove snow and ice from body including lights, seat, footrests,
controls and instruments.
2. Verify that air silencer prefilter is free of snow.
3. Verify that skis and steering operate freely. Check corresponding
action of skis versus handlebar.
____ SAFETY INFORMATION ___ 17

RIDING THE VEHICLE
4. Check fuel level and look for leaks. Replenish if necessary and in
case of any leaks; you should seek service from an authorized Ski-
Doo dealer, repair shop, or person of your own choosing for main-
tenance and repair
5. All storage compartments must be properly latched and they
must not contain any heavy or breakable objects. Hood and side
panels must be also properly latched.
6. Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it op-
erates easily and smoothly. It must return to idle position when
released.
7. Activate the brake lever and make sure the brake fully applies be-
fore the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. It must
fully return when released.
8. Apply parking brake and check if it operates properly. Leave park-
ing brake applied.
9. Inspect drive belt condition and height, refer to
DRIVE BELT in
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES .
After Engine is Started
For proper engine starting procedure, refer to
ENGINE STARTING
PROCEDURE
.
1. Check headlights high beam and low beam, taillight, stop light
and pilot lamps operation.
NOTE: You may need to detach tether cord from your clothes to
check lights. In such a case, attach cord as soon as you get back at
the controls of the snowmobile.
2. Check the engine cut-off switch (by pulling tether cord cap) and
emergency engine stop switch operation.
3. Release parking brake.
4. Refer to
VEHICLE WARM UP and follow instructions.
