This guide uses the following safety

alert symbol in conjunction with signal

words to indicate a potential personal

injury hazard.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous

situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate

injury. When used without the

safety alert symbol , potential

hazard exists for property damage

only.

NOTE: Indicates supplementary infor-

mation needed to fully complete an in-

struction.

Although the mere reading of such in-

formation does not eliminate the haz-

ard, the understanding and application

of the information will promote the

correct use of the vehicle.

Your dealer is committed to your satis-

faction. He has taken training to per-

form the initial set-up and inspection

of your snowmobile as well as com-

pleted the final adjustment required

to suit your specific weight and riding

environment before you took posses-

sion. At delivery, your dealer would

have explained the snowmobile con-

trols and provided you with a brief

explanation of the various suspension

adjustments. We trust you have tak-

en full advantage of this!

______________________ 1

At delivery, you were also informed

of the warranty coverage and have

completed the Warranty Registration

process.

The information and components/

system descriptions contained in this

guide are correct at time of publi-

cation. BRP, however maintains a

policy of continuous improvement of

its products without imposing upon

itself any obligation to install them on

products previously manufactured.

Because of its ongoing commitment

to product quality and innovation, BRP

reserves the right at any time to dis-

continue or change specifications, de-

signs, features, models or equipment

without incurring obligation.

The illustrations in this document

show the typical construction of the

different assemblies and, in all cases,

may not reproduce the full detail or

exact shape of the parts shown, how-

ever, they represent parts which have

the same or a similar function.

It is understood that this guide may

be translated into another language.

In the event of any discrepancy, the

English version shall prevail.

Specifications are given in the SI met-

ric system with the SAE U.S. equiv-

alent in parentheses. Where precise

accuracy is not required, some conver-

sions are rounded off for easier use.

Most components of this snowmobile

are built with parts dimensioned in the

metric system. Most fasteners are

metric and must not be replaced by

customary fasteners or vice versa.

We recommend genuine BRP prod-

ucts for replacement parts and ac-

cessories. They've been specially

designed for your vehicle and manu-

factured to meet BRP's demanding

standards.

ASHOP MANUAL can be obtained for

complete service, maintenance and

more repair information.

For any questions pertaining to the

warranty and its application, consult

the WARRANTY section in this guide,

and/or an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.

INTRODUCTION

Everyone is a beginner the first time

he sits behind the controls of a snow-

mobile regardless of previous expe-

rience in driving an automobile, a

motorcycle or a motorboat. The safe

use of your snowmobile is dependent

on many conditions such as visibility,

speed, weather, environment, traffic,

vehicle condition and the condition of

the driver.

Each operator has a responsibility to

ensure the safety of his/her passen-

ger, if any, and of other recreationists

or bystanders.

You are responsible for proper opera-

tion of your vehicle as well as training

thosewhomyouallowtorideordrive.

There may be noticeable 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 or a passenger are

reckless, thoughtless or inattentive.

We encourage you to have an Annual

Safety Inspection of your snowmo-

bile. Please contact an authorized

SKI-DOO dealer for further details.

Finally, we urge you to visit an autho-

rized SKI-DOO dealer periodically for

regular and safety maintenance, as

well as snowmobile accessories you

may require.
