SAFETY MEASURES
Observe the Following Warnings: For vehicles with a parking brake, always engage brake when vehicle is not in use. Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement before starting engine. In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by activating the emergency cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or turning off the key. Note that only the electric start models have an ignition key. Engine should be running only when belt guard is secured in place. Never run the engine without drive belt installed. Running an unloaded engine such as without drive belt or with track raised, can prove to be dangerous. Never run the engine with the hood opened or removed. Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all times. Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets, roads or highways. In most States and Provinces, it is considered an illegal operation. Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while installed on snowmobile. Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings. Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. Unless otherwise specified, engine should be turned OFF and cold for all lubrication, adjustment and maintenance procedures. Some snowmobiles are designed for the driver only and no provisions have been made for a passenger. The performance of this snowmobile may significantly exceed that of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended. The engine and components used in a particular model should not be used on other models. Use of Rotax snowmobile engines in other than SKI-DOO snowmobiles is not recommended or authorized by Bombardier Inc. Do not stud the track. Reverse models only: These snowmobiles are capable of a fast reverse. Always remain seated and apply the brake before shifting. Come to a complete stop before selecting reverse gear. Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders. Fast reverse while turning could result in loss of stability. 7

Q: Would you give some examples of abnormal use or strain, neglect or abuse which may affect warranty? A: These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Some specific examples may include: running the snowmobile out of oil, chain failure caused by a Iack of lubrication, operating the snowmobile with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, and so on. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your SKI-DOO dealer for advice. Q: What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period? A: The customers responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accidents and collision damage, as well as oils, and spark plugs, and incidental or consequential damage costs as explained in the warranty. Q: Are Genuine Bombardier replacement parts used in warranty repairs covered by warranty? A: Yes. When installed by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer, any Genuine Bombardier part used in warranty repairs assumes the remaining warranty that exists on the snowmobile. Q: If I sell my snowmobile within the warranty period, will the new owner qualify for the balance of the warranty? A: Yes, provided the re-sale has been registered with the manufacturer. Q: How can I receive the best owner assistance? A: The satisfaction and goodwill of the owners of Bombardier products are of primary concern to your SKI-DOO dealer and Bombardier. Normally, any problems that arise in connection with the sales transaction or the operation of your snowmobile will be handled by your SKI-DOO Dealers Sales or Service Departments. It is recognized, however, that despite the best intentions of everyone concerned, misunderstandings will sometimes occur. Frequently, complaints are the result of a breakdown in communications and can quickly be resolved by a member of the SKI-DOO dealership management. If the problem already has been reviewed with the Sales Manager or Service Manager, contact the SKI-DOO Dealer himself or the General Manager. We are always pleased to receive your comments on the SKIDOO snowmobile.

1) Throttle Lever
Located on the right side of handlebar. When compressed, it controls the engine speed and the engagement of the transmission. When released, engine speed returns automatically to idle.
WARNING
Throttle lever must operate easily and smoothly. It must return to idle position when released.
2) Brake Lever
Located on the left side of handlebar. When compressed, the brake is applied. When released, it automatically returns to its original position. Braking effect is proportional to the pressure applied on the lever and to the type of terrain and its snow coverage.
WARNING
Excessive or repetitive use of brakes for high speed stops will cause an overheated brake system. This overheated condition could cause sudden loss of braking power and/or fire.
WARNING
Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before operating the snowmobile. Otherwise, brake system may overheat leading to sudden loss of brakes and/or fire. To engage mechanism, squeeze brake lever and maintain while pulling locking lever with a finger. When brake lever is compressed halfway the brake should be fully applied. To release mechanism, squeeze brake lever. Locking lever will automatically return to its original position. Brake lever now returns to rest position. Always release parking brake before riding.

WARNING
Fuel may be pressurized, open cap slowly. Fuel is flammable and explosive. Never use an open flame to check fuel level. Never smoke or allow flame or spark in vicinity. Never top up the fuel tank before placing the vehicle in a warm area. As temperature increases, fuel expands and may overflow. Always wipe off any fuel spillage from the vehicle.
74
Recommended Oil
CAUTION: Use only oil that flows at - 40C (- 40F). Do not mismatch oil reservoir cap with fuel tank cap. Oil reservoir cap is identified OIL. Oil is contained in the oil injection reservoir. Use only two-stroke engine injection oil sold by authorized SKI-DOO dealers. MODEL OIL TYPE BOMBARDIER FORMULA XP-S synthetic injection oil (or equivalent) OR BOMBARDIER injection oil (or equivalent)
All
If BOMBARDIER injection oil is not available, API TC high-quality ashless two-stroke injection oil may be used. BOMBARDIER 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 BOMBARDIER Formula XP-S synthetic injection oil provides superior lubrication, reduced engine component wear and oil deposit, thus maintaining maximumlevel performance and antifriction properties. this synthetic 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 motor oil or other ashless type two-stroke oil. Avoid mixing different brands of API TC oil as resulting chemical reactions may cause severe engine damage. Always maintain a sufficient amount of recommended oil in the injection oil reservoir. CAUTION: Check level and refill every time you refuel.
WARNING
Wipe off any oil spills. Oil is highly flammable.
75
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Engine
CAUTION: A break-in period of 10 operating hours 500 km (300 miles) is required before running the snowmobile at full throttle. During break-in period, maximum throttle should not exceed 3/4. However, brief full acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in. Continued wide open throttle accelerations, prolonged cruising speeds and engine overheating are detrimental during the break-in period. To assure additional protection during the initial engine break-in, 500 mL (18 imp. oz) of recommended injection oil (P/N 413 802 900 12 x 1 L), should be added to fuel for the first full filling of fuel tank. Always remove and clean spark plugs after engine break-in.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in period of 50 km (30 miles). Avoid strong acceleration/deceleration, pulling a load or high speed cruising.
10-Hour Inspection
As with any precision piece of mechanical equipment, we suggest that after the first 10 hours of operation 500 km (300 miles) or 30 days after the purchase, whichever comes first, your snowmobile be checked by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. This inspection will give you the opportunity to discuss the unanswered questions you may have encountered during the first hours of operation. The 10-hour inspection is at the expense of the snowmobile owner. 76
PRE-OPERATION CHECK
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. If not done as specified here, severe injury or death might occur. Verify that track and idler wheels are unfrozen and free to turn.
WARNING
Always use a mechanical snowmobile stand to properly support vehicle during any track verification. Slowly accelerate engine in order to rotate track at very low speed when it is not on ground. Activate the brake control lever and make sure the brake fully applies before the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. It must fully return when released. Check the parking device. Apply parking brake and check if it operates properly. Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it operates easily and smoothly. It must return to idle position when released.
WARNING
Throttle lever must operate easily and smoothly. It must return to idle position when released. Check operation of ignition switch, headlight switch (HI-LO), taillight, brake light, indicator lights and tether and emergency cut-out switches. Check gear shift lever position (models with mechanical reverse only). Verify that skis and steering operate freely. Check corresponding action skis versus handlebar. Check fuel and injection oil for levels and leaks. Replenish as necessary and see an SKI-DOO authorized dealer in case of any leaks.
77
WARNING
All adjustable features should be positioned at optimal setting. Securely tighten all adjustment locks. All storage compartments must be properly latched and they must not contain any heavy or breakable objects.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Proceed with pre-operation check list before riding.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion Depressing throttle lever increases engine RPM causing the drive pulley to engage. For most models engine RPM must be between 2500 and 4200 before drive pulley engagement will occur. Outer sheave of drive pulley moves toward inner sheave, forcing drive belt to move upward on the drive pulley and simultaneously forcing the sheaves apart on the driven pulley. The driven pulley senses the load on the track and limits the belt movement. The result is a continuous change in the ratio of the two pulleys which maximizes acceleration and forward movement of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not operate engine with hood open or belt guard removed. Power is transferred to the track through the chaincase or gearbox and drive axle.
WARNING
Always use a mechanical snowmobile stand to properly support vehicle during any track verification. Slowly accelerate engine in order to rotate track at very low speed when it is not on ground. Turning Handlebar controls the direction of travel of the vehicle. As the handlebar is rotated to right or left, the skis are turned in the direction of intended travel.
WARNING
Fast reverse while turning, could result in loss of stability.
79
WARNING
Operator and passenger (if applicable) must be properly seated before starting engine. Re-check throttle control lever operation. Ensure that emergency cut-out switch is in the ON position. Ensure that tether cut-out cap is set in place and that cord is attached to your clothing. Initial Cold Starting NOTE: Do not operate the throttle lever during starting. When Temperature Is Below - 10C (+ 15F) Set the choke lever to the second position. Grasp starter handle firmly and crank engine or use electric starter on so equipped models. After the engine is started, close off choke to ensure proper air-fuel mix when speed drops below 2000 RPM.
A32H01A
When Temperature Is above - 10C (above + 15F) Set the choke lever to the first position. Grasp starter handle firmly and crank engine. After the engine is started, close off choke to ensure proper air-fuel mix.
80
Warm Engine Starting Start the engine without any choke. If the engine will not start after two pulls of the rope or two 5 second attempts with the electric starter move choke lever to position 1. Start the engine without activating the throttle lever. As soon as the engine starts move the choke lever to OFF. Manual Starting Insert the key in the ignition switch and turn to ON position. Grasp manual starter handle firmly and crank engine.
WARNING
Do not apply throttle while starting. Electric Starting (some models only) Insert key in ignition switch. Turn key clockwise until starter engages. Release key immediately when engine has started. CAUTION: Do not hold key at START position more than 15 seconds. A rest period should be observed between the cranking cycles to let starter cool down. Holding key in START position when engine has started could damage starter mechanism.
