Within the North American Continent,
there exists a very special breed of peo-
ple... people who enjoy ice and snow,
and the unexcelied trails that lead to
virtually every corner of the snowbelt.
They enjoy too, the comfort of warm
clothing, the friendliness of compan-
ions, and the recreational vehicle that
made it all possible... the Ski-Doo
snowmobile.
We, like millions of North American fa-
milies, have never forgotten our pio-
neer heritage, or our love of nature and
the great outdoors, consequently, we
have designed and engineered all our
models with safety, comfort and quiet-
ness foremost in our minds. We do res-
pect your desires, and that of others.
This manual was prepared to acquaint
the owner / operator of a new 1976
snowmobile with the various vehicle
— controls, owner-related maintenance,
and safe operating instructions.
This is accomplished via two manuals;
‘The Snowmobile Safety Handbook’
and the ‘Operator Manual’. Both are
inseparable toward proper use of the
product, and should be kept with the
vehicle at all times.
Each manual emphasizes particular in-
formation denoted by the wording and
symbols;
WARNING: Identifying an ins-
/ truction which, if not followed,
could cause personal injury.
? CAUTION: Denotes an instruc-
tion which, if not followed, could
severely damage vehicle compo-
nents.
\ NOTE: Indicates supplementary
/ information needed to fully com-
plete an instruction.
Although the mere reading of such in-
formation does not eliminate the haz-
ard, your understanding of the infor-
mation will promote iis correct use.
Ride safe and have fun.

Throttle mechanism should be
checked for free movement before
starting engine.
Engine should be running only when
pulley guard is secured in place.
Never run engine without drive belt
installed. Running an unloaded en-
gine can prove to be dangerous.
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.
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 ille-
gal operation.
Maintain your vehicle in top mecna-
nical condition at all times.
Your snowmobile is not designed to
be driven or operated on black top,
hare earth, or other abrasive surfa-
ces. Abnormal and excessive wear
of critical parts is inevitable.
Only perform such procedures as
detailed in this manual. Unless
otherwise specified, engine shouid
be turned OFF for all lubrication
and maintenance procedures.
e Since 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
than brief periods. Prolonged idling
and low speed operation may cause
engine damage.
8 The TNT R.V. в designed for the
driver only. No provisions have been
made for a passenger.
8 The performance of this snowmo-
оне may significantly exceed that of

Emergency items should be wrapped in
foam or similar material. This will pre-
vent possible breakage while travelling
over rough or bumpy terrain.
To check fuel level, simply unscrew
fuel tank cap and withdraw dipstick.
WARNING: Never use a lite
match or open flame to check
fuel level.
With Ski-Doo snowmobile engines, a
break-in period is required before run-
ning the vehicle at full throttle. Manu-
facturers, recommendation for the
Bombardier-Rotax engine 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 Ski-Doo oil).
Maximum throttle should not exceed
Ya , however, brief full acceleration and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in. Continued wide open throttie
accelerations, prolonged cruising
speeds, and lugging are detrimental
during the break-in period.
After the break-in period, each Ski-
Doo snowmobile must have an inspec-
tion check. This inspection is at the ex-
pense of the vehicle owner.
Oil must be added to the gasoline in
pre-measured amounts then both oil
and gasoline should be thoroughiy
mixed together before fueling the tank.
The correct gasoline is premium gaso-
line, available from all service stations.
CAUTION: Never experiment
with different fuel or fuel ratios.
Never use low lead or non leaded
gasoline, naphta, methanol or si-
milar products.
Use concentrated Ski-Doo oi available
from your dealer. This type of oil has
specially formulated oil bases to meet
the lubrication requirements of the
Bombardier-Rotax engine.
CAUTION: Never use outboard
or straight mineral oils.
The importance of using the correct fu-
el mixture cannot be overstressed. An
incorrect fuel ratio results in serious en-
gine damage. Recommended fuel ratio
is 50 / 1.
b gallons recommended gasoline plus 1
can of 56 / 1 concentrated Ski-Doo oils
correct fuel mixture.
NN NOTE: To facilitate fuel mixing,
oll should be kept at room tempe-
rature.
10 mix the gasoline and oil always use
a separate ciean container. Never mix
directly in your snowmobile tank. For
best results, acquire two containers, ai-
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 pro-
cedures 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 engi-
ne is running. Avoid skin contact
with fuel at below freezing tem-
peratures.
1. Pour approximately one galion of
gasoline into a clean container.
2. Add the full amount of concentrated
Ski-Doo 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.
NOTE: When using pre-mixed fu-
el, always shake the container
thoroughly as the ой has a ten-
dency to settle.
WARNING: Never “top up’ gas
tank before placing the vehicle in
a warm area. At certain tempera-
tures, gasoline will expand and
overflow.
Under certain climatic conditions, the
track and skis of a snowmobile left out-
doors overnight may freeze to the
ground or snow surface. Always make
sure that the track and skis are free be-
fore attempting to start the vehicle.
(This procedure will eliminate unneces-
sary drive belt wear).
Check operation of steering mecha-
nism by moving skis by hand from side
to side. If roughness or binding is felt,
check for ice or snow that may be
blocking the mechanism.
Depress and release control levers se-
veral times to check that they operate
easily and smoothly. The throttle lever
should return to the idle position when
released. The brake should fully apply
before the brake control lever touches
the handlebar grip. If the contro! levers
do not operate freely do not start your
vehicle, see your dealer.
WARNING: Throttle and brake
mechanisms should be checked
for free movement before star-
ting engine. Once all components
are checked and functioning
properly, you can start your
snowmobile

dealer.
. Allow the engine to warm before
operating at full throttle.
Should the rewind starter rope fray and
break, remove starter unit using tool
supplied with the vehicle. Transferrope
handle to your emergency rope. Make
a knot at the end of emergency starter
rope and wind rope around rewind
starting pulley. Pull vigorously as per
usual manual starting.
Me er
The neck of the air intake silencer must
always be turned down and facing the
rear (see illustration) otherwise the
pressure created by the vehicle speed
will lean the mixture and cause engine
damage.
CAUTION: Never operate your
snowmobile with the air intake
silencer disconnected. Serious
engine damage will occur if this
notice is disregarded.
ds te
During normal driving, snow will act as
a lubricant and coolant for the slider
shoes. Extensive riding on ice or sand-
ed snow, (not to mention dirt, asphalt,
etc. never recommended) will create
excessive heat build-up and cause pre-
mature slider shoe wear.
Routine maintenance is necessary for
all! mechanized products, and .the
snowmobile Is no exception. A weekly
vehicie inspection contributes to the
life span of the snowmobile as well as
sate and trouble-free operation.
It is recommended that the steering
system and suspension be lubricated
monthly or every 40 hours of operation.
if the vehicle is operated in wet snow or
in severe conditions these items should
be lubricated more frequently.
WARNING: Only perform such
procedures as detailed in this
manual. Unless otherwise spe-
cified, engine should be turned
OFF for all lubrication and main-
tenance procedures.
WARNING: Engine should be
"running only when pulley guards
are secured in place.
