SAFETY

MEASURES __________________________ __

Observe the following precautions:

• Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement before starting engine.

• Do not operate vehicle near snow making equipment.

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

• Clean and check operation of the headlight, tail light and brake light.

• Engine should be running only when belt guard and/or 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 hood removed.

• Gasoline is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always manipulate 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Installation of other than standard 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.

• Whenever the vehicle is parked outdoors, overnight or for a long period, it is suggested to protect it against the inclemency of the weather with a snowmobile cover.

• Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.

• Only perform procedures as detailed in this manual. Unless otherwise specified, engine should be turned OFF for all lubrication and maintenance procedures.

• Since engine cooling is fully in effect only when the vehicle is in motion and driven on snow, it is not recommended that you allow the engine to idle for more than brief periods and/or you drive the vehicle on icy surface. Prolonged idling and/or continuous driving on ice may cause engine damage.

• When removing coolant tank cap, first place a cloth over cap then turn cap to its first step to release pressure. Never drain or refill the cooling system when engine is hot.

• These vehicles are designed for the driver only. No provisions have been made for a passenger.

• The performance of these vehicles may significantly exceed that of other snowmobiles you have Therefore, use of this vehicle by novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.

• Should removal of a locking device be required when undergoing repairs/disassembly, always replace by new ones. Tighten fasteners as specified in the applicable

Shop Manual.

BREAK-IN P E R I O D - - - - - - -

Engine

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

Engine's manufacturer recommendation is ten ( 10) to fifteen ( 15) operating hours.

During this 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 lugging are detrimental during the break-in period.

0 NOTE: To assure additional protection during the initial engine breakin, 500 ml (18 imp. oz) of BLIZZARD Oil

(P/N 496 0135 00) or the same quantity of BOMBARDIER Injection Oil should be added to gas for the first full gas tank filling.

T spark plugs after engine break-in.

Belt

A new drive belt requires a break-in period of 25 km ( 15 miles).

10 - Hour Inspection

As with any precision piece of mechanical equipment, we suggest that after the first ten ( 1 0) hours of operation or thirty

(30) days after the purchase, whichever comes first, your vehicle be checked by your authorized 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 vehicle owner.

Limiter Screw

The function of the suspension limiter screw is to control the transfer of vehicle weight during acceleration. The closer the nut from the cotter pin, the more the weight will be transferred to the track to provide a better traction.

The farther the nut from the cotter pin, the lesser the weight will be transferred to the track, thus maintaining a more positive direction. Limiter screw allows to adjust weight transfer according to driver's requirement, field and/or snow conditions.

WARNING: Do not operate a snowmobile with a cut, torn or damaged track.

Track Tension and Alignment

Tension:

0 NOTE: Ride the vehicle in snow about fifteen (15) - twenty (20) minutes prior to adjusting track tension.

Lift the rear of vehicle and support with a mechanical stand. Allow the suspension to extend normally and check gap half-way of slider shoe. The gap should be 30 mm (1 3116 in) between the slider shoe and the bottom inside of the track when applying a downward pull of

7.3 kg (16 I b). If the track tension is too loose, the track will have a tendency to thump.

... result in power loss and excessive stresses on suspension components.

If necessary to adjust; loosen the rear idler wheel retaining screws and the adjuster bolt lock nuts, then loosen or tighten the adjuster screws located on the inner side of the rear idler wheels. If correct tension is unattainable, contact an authorized dealer.

Drive Pulley

These vehicles are equipped with the

TRA drive pulley {Total Range Adjustable). This pulley includes three {3) calibration screws that provide the opportunity to perform minor adjustments to the clutch in order to keep the engine at it's peak power R.P.M., thereby maintaining optimal vehicle performance.

The clutch is factory adjusted at position three (3) to provide the best performance under most riding conditions at sea level. However certain conditions, such as deep snow, high altitude, pulling a load, etc. may allow the engine to run below it's peak power R.P.M. at wide open throttle thus decreasing the vehicle performance. Should such conditions be encountered the calibration screws can then be resets to allow the engine to operate at it's peak power

R.P.M. (given in technical data as max.

HP R.P.M.).

The adjustment may be set at any one of six (6) positions, numbered from one

( 1) to six (6). Note that for casting purposes numeral one ( 1) appears as a dot. Each of these positions provides an increase or a decrease, in numerical order, of the engine speed by approximately 200 R.P.M.

Example:

Positions two (2) and four (4) allow the engine to run below or above it's power peak reducing vehicle performance.

0 NOTE: One must bear in mind that the purpose of these calibration screws is to maintain the engine R.P.M. at it's peak power, a lower or upper speed will actually result in less vehicle performance.

The point of maximum power, in the

1988 Formula PLUS, occurs at 8000

R.P.M. while the maximum permissible engine speed (red line) is 9000 R.P.M.

Adjustment Procedure

To change the calibration screw position, back off its locking nut and change the position of the calibration screw head. The notch on the screw head must be aligned with the desired numeral position. See illustration.

T tion screw locking nut only far enough to allow a change of position of the screw head. Never attempt to remove the locking nut or the calibration screw. Make sure the adjustment is set at the same position for all three

When the coolant level is low enough, remove the engine bleed screw and lift the rear of vehicle to drain the heat exchangers.

-..r

CAUTION: To prevent rust for-

T mation in the cooling system, always replenish the system with the recommended solution (60% antifreeze 40% water). Pure antifreeze without water produces premature freezing. Always use ethylene-glycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors specifically recommended for aluminum engines.

To refill the cooling system:

Put back the rear of vehicle on the ground.

467 Engine Type

Continue to pour the coolant in the tank until level reaches 60 mm (2 318 in) below top of radiator (engine cold).

With the coolant tank cap still removed start the engine and let it warm up to reach its operating temperature and thermostat open. Allow it running a few minutes more.

44--------------------------

Stop engine and check coolant freezing point with a suitable tester. Coolant must be strong enough for the temperature in which the vehicle is operated.

Check coolant level and add liquid if required. Put back the tank cap .

• WARNING: Before removing the

T cap place a cloth over the coolant tank and release the cap to the first step to release the pressure. Loss of fluid and possibility of severe burns could occur, if this notice is disregarded.

Engine and Primer

Lubrication

Engine internal parts must be lubricated to protect them from possible rust formation during the storage

To perform the storage procedures (engine and primer valve) proceed as follows:

1. Lift the rear of the vehicle and support it off the ground.

• WARNING: Ensure the track is

T free of ails particles which could be thrown out while it is rotating. Keep hands, tools, feet and clothing clear of track. Ensure no one is standing in close proximity to the vehicle.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run at idle speed until the engine reaches its operational temperature.

3. Stop the engine.

4. Disconnect the inlet primer hose from the primer valve.

5. Plug inlet primer hose to prevent gasoline from draining.

6. Using an appropriate hose/ connect one end of the hose to the inlet of the primer valve and place the other end in a BOMBARDIER Snowmobile

Injection Oil container.

7. Activate the primer in order to fill it with oil.

8. Restart engine and run at idle.

9. Using the primer valve~ inject oil until the engine dies or until a sufficient quantity of oil has entered the engine {approximately twenty-five

(25) complete strokes of the primer). Do not run engine during storage period.

10. The engine stopped, remove the sparks plugs and pour approximately 85 ml (3 fl. oz imp.) of oil into the cylinders.

11. Crank the engine to allow the crankshaft to turn two {2) or three (3) revolutions.

12. Reinstall the spark plugs and the inlet primer hose.

Do not run engine during storage period.

Chassis

Clean the vehicle thoroughly/ removing all dirt and grease accumulation.

T nents such as fuel tank, windshield, controls, etc., can be cleaned using mild detergents or isopropyl alcohol and a soft clean cloth. Never clean plastic parts with strong detergent, degreasing agent, paint thinner, acetone, etc. Never clean RIM Metton hood with cleaners or products containing chlorine. Do not apply isopropyl alcohol directly on decals.

Inspect the hood and repair any damage. Clean the frame. For the unpainted aluminum portion use only ''Aluminum cleaner'' and follow instructions on the container.

Touch up all metal spots where paint has been scratched off. Spray all bare metal parts with metal protector. Wax the hood and the painted portion of the frame for better protection.

0 NOTE: Apply wax on glossy finish only. Protect the vehicle with a cover to prevent dust accumulation during storage.

T snowmobile has to be stored outside it is necessary to cover it with an opaque tarpaulin. This caution will prevent the sun rays and the grime from affecting the plastic components and the vehicle finish.

General Inspection

Check the electrical wiring and components, retighten loose connections.

Check for stripped wires or damaged insulation.

Thoroughly inspect the vehicle and tighten loose bolts, nuts and linkage.
