or highways. In most States and

Provinces, it is considered an illegal

operation,

• Maintain your vehicle in top mecha-

nical condition at all times,

• Your snowmobile is not designed to

be driven or operated on black top,

bare earth, or other abrasive surfa-

ces. On such surfaces abnormal and

excessive wear of critical parts is

inevitable.

tilt cab. Ideal location for spare plugs,

belt, rope, etc.

Remove backrest and tilt seat. Ideal

location for spare plugs, belt, rope, etc.

aNOTE: Emergency materials

should be wrapped in foam or

similar material. This will prevent pos-

sible damage to breakable items when

travelling over rough or bumpy terrain.

On all models except Elan models, un-

screw fuel tank cap and

withdraw

dip-

stick to check fuel level. On Elan mod-

els, the tank is translucent and fuel

level can be checked by opening cab

and glancing at tank.

•WARNING: Never use a lite

match or open flame to check

fuel level.

With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile

engines, a break-in period is required

before running the vehicle at full

throttle. Engine's manufacturer re-

commendation is 10 to 15 operating

hours. During this period, a richer mix-

ture is needed (i.e. 40 parts of gas for

1part of 50 / 1 Bombardier oil). Maxi-

mum throttle should not exceed %,

however, brief full acceleration and

speed variations contribute to a good

break-in. Continued wide open throttle

accelerations,

prolonged

cruising

speeds, and luggin are detrimental

during the break-in period.

As with any precision piece of mechan-

ical equipment, we suggest that after

the first 10 hours of operation or 30

days after the purchase, whichever

comes first, that your vehicle be

checke.d

by your dealer. This inspec-

tion will give you the opportunity to

discuss the unanswered questions you

may have encountered during the first

hours of operation. Remember that it

is easier to remedy at this time than to

allow the snowmobile to operate until

a possible failure occurs.

The 10 hours inspection is at the ex-

penseof the vehicleowner.

Oil must be added to the gasoline in

pre-measured amounts then both oil

and gasoline should be thoroughly

mixed together before fueling the tank.

The correct gasoline is regular gasoline

(not less than 92 octane), available

from all service stations.

CAUTION:

Never experiment

.".

with different fuel or fuel ratios.

Never use low lead or non leadedgaso-

line, naphtha, methanol or similar

products.

Use concentrated Bombardier snow-

mobile oil available from your dealer.

This type of oil has specially formulated

oil bases to meet the lubrication re-

quirements of the Bombardier-Rotax

ermine.

lombardier

snowmobile oil is un-

ava.lable substitute

with

ahigh-quality

2cycle snowmobile oil.

The

oil/gas

mix must meet the vehicle require-

ments. See oil manufacturer recom-

mendations on container.

_CAUTION: Never use outboard

.".

or straight mineraloils.

The importance of using the correct

fuel.mixture cannot be overstressed. An

incorrect fuel ratio results in serious en-

gine damage. Recommended fuel ratio

is 50

/1.

5 gallons of regular gasoline plus 1

can

50/1concentrated Bombardier

snowmobile oil

correct fuel mixture.

ONOTE: To facilitate fuel mixing,

oil should be kept at room tempe-

rature.

To mix the gasoline and oil always use

a separate clean container. Never mix

directly in your snowmobile tank. For

best results, acquire

two

containers, ei-

ther plastic or metal. Draw from one

until empty then use the second one.

•

WARNING:

Gasoline is flamma-

ble and explosive under certain

conditions. Always perform procedures

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 de-

termined and corrected without delay.

Never add fuel while engine is running.

Avoid skin contact with fuel at below

freezing temperatures.

1. Pour approximately one gallon of

gasoline into aclean container.

2. Add the full amount of oil.
