SAFETY

MAINTENANCE

Observe

the

following

precautions:

•Throttle mechanism should be

checked for free movement before

starting engine.

• Engineshould 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 engine 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

perform procedures in a well ventila-

ted area. Do not smoke or allow

open flames or sparks in the vicinity.

If gasoline fumes are noticed while

driving, the cause should be deter-

mined and corrected without delay.

• Your snowmobile is not designed to

be operated on public streets, road

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 sur-

faces. On such surfaces abnormal

and excessive wear of critical parts

is inevitable.

• Only perform procedures as detailed

in this manual. Unless otherwise

specified, engine should be turned

OFF for all lubrication and mainte-

nance procedures.

• Installation of other than standard

equipment, including ski-spreaders,

bumpers, pack racks, etc., could

severelyaffect the stability and safe-

ty of your vehicle. Avoid adding on

accessories that alter the basic ve-

hicle configuration.

• The snowmobile engine can be

stopped byactivating the emergen-

cy cut-out or tether switches or tur-

ning off the key.

• Whenever the vehicle is parked out-

doors, overnight or for a long

period, it is suggested to protect it

against the inclemency of the

wheather with asnowmobile cover.

Please read and understand all other

warnings contained elsewhere.

This vehicle is built with parts dimensioned in the metric system. All fasteners are

metric and must not be replaced by customary fasteners. Mismatched or incor-

rect fasteners can cause damage to the vehicle or possible personal injury.

dipstick to check fuel level.

....

WARNING: Never usea lit match

....

or open-flame to check fuel level.

BREAK

PERIOD

With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile

engines, a break-in period is required

before running the vehicle at full throt-

tle. Engine manufacturer recommen-

dation

is10to

15 operating hours. Dur-

ing this period, a richer mixture is

needed (i.e. 40 parts of gasfor 1part of

50/1 Bombardier oil). Maximum throt-

tle should not exceed

3/4,

however,

brief full acceleration and speed varia-

tions contribute to a good break-in.

Continued wide open throttle accelera-

tions, prolonged cruising speeds, and

lugging are detrimental during the

break-in period.

Oil Injection Models

Oil injection models do not require mix-

ing oil with gas. However, proper

break-in period applies.

1D-Hour Inspection

As with any precision pieceof mechan-

ical equipement, we suggest that after

the first 10 hours of operation or 30

days

after

the purchase, whichever

comes first, that your vehicle becheck-

ed by your dealer. This inspection 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 remedyat this time than to allow the

snowmobile to operate until a possible

failure occurs.

The 10 hours inspection is at the ex-

pense of the vehicle owner.

FUEL

MIXING

On models not equipped with oil injec-

tion, oil must be added to the gasoline

in pre-measured amounts then both oil

and gasoline should be throughly mix-

ed together before fueling the tank.

Recommended Gasoline

Use regular leaded gasoline available

from all service stations.

...

CAUTION: Never experiment

•

with

different fuel or fuel ratios.

Never use naphtha, methanol or similar

products,

Recommended Oil

Use concentrated Bombardier snow-

mobile oil available from your dealer.

This type of oil has specially formu-

lated oil bases to meet the lubrication

requirements of the Bombardier-Rotax

engine.

If Bombardier snowmobile oil is un-

availabe, 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 mineral oils.

Fuel Mixture Ratio

The importance of using the correct

fuel mixture cannot be overstressed.

An incorrect fuel ratio results in serious

engine damage. Recommended fuel

ratio is 50/1 .

S.1. MEASURE

500 mL oil to 25 liters 50/1

IMPERIAL MEASURE

1can 16

oil to 5imp. gals 50/1

1 can 500 mL to 51/2 imp. gals 50/1

U.S.

MEASURE

1 can 12 oz oil to 5U.S. gals 50/1

.0 NOTE: To facilitate fuel rnixinq,

oil should be kept at room tem-

perature.

Fuel Mixing Procedure

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.

either 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 proce-

dures 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 determinetd 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 a clean container.

2. Add the full amount of oil.
