• Never run the engine at high R,P.M, when the track of the vehicle is raised off the ground.

• It can be dangerous to run engine with the cab open or removed,

• Gasoline is flammable 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 determined 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 mechanical condition at all times,

• Your snowmobile is not designed to be driven or operated on black top, bare earth, or other abrasive surfaces. On such surfaces abnormal and excessive wear of critical parts is inevitable.

• Only perform procedures as detailed in this manual. It is recommended that dealer assistance be periodically obtained on other components / systems not covered in this manual.

Unless otherwise specified, engine should be turned OFF for all lubrication and maintenance procedures.

• Installation of other than "stock" equipment, including ski-spreaders, bumpers, pack racks, etc.. could severely affect the stability and safety of your vehicle. Avoid adding on accessories that alter the basic vehicle configuration.

• The snowmobile engine can be stopped by activating the emergency cut-out or tether switches, or turning off the key.

• On T'NT equipped with free air engine since the engine cooling is in effect only when the vehicle is in motion, it is recommended that you do not allow the engine to idle for more brief periods. Prolonged idling and low speed operation may cause engine damage.

WARNING: It is dangerousto run

• an engine with the cab open or removed. Personal injury could result.

With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile engines, a break-in period is required before running the vehicle at full throttle.

Engine's manufacturer recommendation is 10 to 15 operating hours. During this period, a richer mixture is needed (i.e.

40 parts of gas for

1 part of 50 / 1 Bombardier oil). Maximum 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.

Located under the cab. To gain access, tilt cab. Ideal location for spare plugs, belt, rope, etc.

Remove backrest and tilt seat. Ideal location for spare plugs, belt, rope, etc.

a

NOTE: Emergency materials should be wrapped in foam or similar material. This will prevent possible damage to breakable items when travelling over rough or bumpy terrain.

As with any precision piece of mechanical 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 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 remedy at this time than to allow the snowmobile to operate until a possible failure occurs.

The 10 hours inspection is at the expense of the vehicle owner.

On all models except Elan models, unscrew fuel tank cap and withdraw dipstick to check fuel level. On Elan models, 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.

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 leaded gasoline, naphtha, methanol or similar products.

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 flammable 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 determined 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.

Use concentrated Bombardier snowmobile oil available from your dealer.

This type of oil has specially formulated oil bases to meet the lubrication requirements of the Bombardier-Rotax ermine.

If lombardier snowmobile oil is unava.lable

substitute with a high-quality

2 cycle snowmobile oil. The oil/gas mix must meet the vehicle requirements. See oil manufacturer recommendations on container.

_ CAUTION: Never use outboard

.". or straight mineral oils.

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.

5 gallons of regular gasoline plus 1 can of 50 / 1 concentrated Bombardier snowmobile oil == correct fuel mixture.

O rature.

NOTE: To facilitate fuel mixing, oil should be kept at room tempe-

2.

Add the full amount of oil.

3. Replace container cap and shake the container thoroughly.

4. Add the remainder of the gasoline.

5. Once again thoroughly agitate the container. Then using a funnel with a fine mesh screen to prevent the entry of water and foreign particles, transfer mixture from container into the snowmobile tank.

a

NOTE: When using pre-mixed fuel, always shake the container thoroughly as the oil has a tendency to settle.

WARNiNG: Never 'top up' gas tank before placing vehicle in a warm area. At certain temperatures, gasoline will expand and overflow.
