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 hazard situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE Indicates an instruction which, if not followed, could severely damage vehicle components or other property.

NOTE: Indicates supplementary information needed to fully complete an instruction.

Although the mere reading of such information does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding and application of the information will promote the correct use of the vehicle.

Your dealer is committed to your satisfaction. He has taken training to perform the initial set-up and inspection of your snowmobile as well as completed the final adjustment required to suit your specific weight and riding environment before you took possession.

At delivery, your dealer would have explained the snowmobile controls and provided you with a brief explanation of the various suspension adjustments.

We trust you have taken full advantage of this!

INTRODUCTION

Everyone is a beginner the first time he sits behind the controls of a snowmobile regardless of previous experience 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 passenger, if any, and of other recreationists or bystanders.

You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as well as training those whom you allow to ride or drive.

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 snowmobile.

Please contact an authorized

Ski-Doo dealer for further details. Finally, we urge you to visit an authorized

Ski-Doo dealer periodically for regular and safety maintenance, as well as snowmobile accessories you may require.

IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES

Training

SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:

Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snowmobile.

Study your Operator's Guide paying particular attention to cautions and warnings. Join your local snowmobile club: its social activities and trail systems are planned for both fun and safety. Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer, friend, fellow club member or enroll in your state or provincial safety training program.

Always show a new operator how to start and stop the vehicle. Indicate the correct riding positions and, above all else, only allow him to operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area — at least until he is completely familiar with its operation. If there is a local snowmobile operator's training course existing, have him enroll.

Performance

The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed that of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by novice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.

Snowmobiles are used in many areas and in many snow conditions.

Not all models perform the same in similar conditions. Always consult your snowmobile dealer when selecting the snowmobile model for your particular needs and uses.

Injury or death may result to the snowmobile operator, passenger or bystander if the snowmobile is used in risky conditions which are beyond the driver's, passenger's or snowmobile's capabilities or intended use.

Age

BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old of age.

Speed

Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or respond quickly enough to the unexpected.

Always ride at a speed which is suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own ability. Know your local rules. Speed limit may be in effect and meant to be observed.

Riding

Always keep right hand side of the trail.

Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and bystanders.

Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers performed by professional riders under ideal and/or controlled conditions.

You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they are beyond your level of riding ability.

Never under the influence of drugs or alcohol or if you feel tired or ill.

Operate your snowmobile prudently.

Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets, roads or highways.

Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but because of reduced visibility, be extra cautious. Avoid unfamiliar terrain and be sure your lights are working. Always carry a flashlight and spare light bulbs.

Nature is wonderful but don't let it distract your attention from driving. If you want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop your snowmobile on the side of the trail so that you don't become a hazard to others.

IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES

Fences represent a very serious threat for both you and your snowmobile. Give a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.

Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious accidents.

Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protection and a face shield. This also applies to your passenger.

Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such as avalanche and other natural or man made hazards or obstacles.

Avoid road traveling. If you must do so, and it is permitted, reduce speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn on paving.

When crossing a road, make a full stop, then look carefully in both directions before crossing at a 90° angle. Be wary of parked vehicles.

Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snowmobile in front of you slows for any reason, its driver and passenger could be harmed through your neglect.

Maintain a safe stopping distance between you and the snowmobile in front of you. Depending on the terrain condition, stopping may require a little more space than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driving.

Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be hazardous.

You could run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage your snowmobile. Remember, your snowmobile is capable of traveling further in half an hour than you may be able to walk in a day. Use the “buddy system”. Always ride with a friend or member of your snowmobile club.

Even then, tell someone where you are going and the approximate time you plan to return.

Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate and freezes over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempting to turn or brake on this surface could cause your vehicle to spin out of control.

Never brake or attempt speeding or turning on glare ice. If you do happen to travel over such a condition, reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.

Never “jump” with your snowmobile. This should be left to professional stunt men. Don't show off.

Be responsible.

While on safari, do not “gun” the throttle.

Snow and ice can be thrown back into the path of a following snowmobile.

In addition, when “gunning” the throttle, the vehicle digs into and leaves an irregular snow surface for others.

Safaris are both fun and enjoyable but don't show off or overtake others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do the same as you and fail. When riding with others, limit your abilities to the experience of others.

Operation

Always make a pre-ride inspection

BEFORE you turn on the ignition.

In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by pressing down on the engine stop switch, pulling the tether cord cap

(D.E.S.S.

TM key) or turning off the ignition switch key.

Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and return to idle position before starting engine.

Always engage parking brake when vehicle is not in use.

Never run the engine in a nonventilated area and/or if vehicle is left unattended.

10

_______


________

Never operate the engine without belt guard securely installed or, with hood or access/side panels opened or removed. Never run the engine without drive belt installed.

Running an unloaded engine such as without drive belt or with track raised, can be dangerous.

Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while installed on snowmobile.

Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before proceeding in reverse.

Always remove the ignition key (if applicable) or the tether cord cap

(D.E.S.S. key) when vehicle is not in operation in order to prevent accidental engine starting, to avoid unauthorized use by children or others or theft.

Raising the rear of your snowmobile while the engine is running could cause snow, ice or debris to be thrown back at an observer. Never raise the rear of the vehicle while the engine is running. To clear or inspect the track, stop the engine, tilt the vehicle on its side and remove blockage with a piece of wood or branch. Never allow anyone near a rotating snowmobile track.

Maintenance

Know your snowmobile and treat it with the respect and care due of any power driven machine. Common sense, proper handling and routine maintenance will result in safer and enjoyable use.

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.


Never have the engine running while the hood or access/side panels are opened. Even at idle, a snowmobile engine is turning fast.

Always turn off the engine before opening the hood and/or side panels for any reason.

Never remove any original equipment from your snowmobile. Each vehicle has many built in safety features. Such features include various guards and consoles, plus reflective materials and warning labels.

A poorly maintained snowmobile itself can be a potential hazard. Excessively worn components could render the vehicle completely inoperative. Keep the snowmobile in good working condition at all times.

Follow your pre-ride inspection, weekly, monthly and annually routine maintenance and lubrication procedures as detailed in this guide.

Consult a snowmobile dealer or acquire a shop manual and proper tools and equipment if other repairs or service is required.

Do not stud the track unless it has been approved for studs. At speed, a studded track that has not been approved for studs could tear and separate from vehicle posing a risk of severe injury or death.

________


________

11


Fuel

Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always work in a well-ventilated area.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity.

Open cap slowly. If a differential pressure condition is noticed (whistling sound heard when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle inspected and/or repaired before further operation. Do not overfill or top off the fuel tank before placing the vehicle in a warm area. As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow. Always wipe off any fuel spillage from the vehicle. Periodically verify fuel system.

Basics for Passenger

Never ride as a passenger unless the snowmobile is equipped with a passenger seat, and sit only on the designated passenger seat.

Always wear an approved helmet and follow the same dressing guidelines as those recommended for the operator and described in this guide.

Make sure that you are able to achieve a stable stance, both feet resting positively on the footboards of footrests with good grip, and that you are able to hold on firmly to the handholds.

Once underway, if you feel uncomfortable or insecure for any reason, don‘t wait, tell the driver to slow down or stop.

_______


________

LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Know your local laws.

Federal, state, provincial and local government agencies have enacted laws and regulations pertaining to the safe use and operation of snowmobiles. It is your responsibility as a snowmobiler to learn and obey these laws and regulations. Respect and observance will result in safer snowmobiling for all.

Be aware of the liability property damages and insurance laws regarding your equipment.

________

13

RIDING THE VEHICLE

Before venturing on the trails, operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area until you are completely familiar with its operation and feel comfortable that you can safely tackle a more demanding task. Have an enjoyable and safe ride.

Principle of Operation

Propulsion

Depressing throttle lever increases engine RPM causing the drive pulley to engage. Depending on 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 the 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 an optimized speed ratio between engine RPM and the speed of the vehicle at any time.

WARNING

Never operate engine without belt guard securely installed or, with hood or access/side panels opened or removed.

Power is transferred to the track through the chaincase or gearbox and drive axle.

WARNING

Always use a wide-base snowmobile mechanical 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.

14

Turning

Handlebar controls the steering of the vehicle. As the handlebar is rotated to right or left, the skis are turned right or left to steer the snowmobile.

Stopping

Before riding your snowmobile, you should understand how to stop it. This is done by releasing the throttle and gradually depressing the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. In an emergency, you may stop your vehicle by pressing the engine stop switch located near the throttle control and applying the brake. Remember, a snowmobile cannot “stop on a dime”.

Braking characteristics vary with deep snow, packed snow or ice. If the track is locked during hard braking, skidding may result.

How to Ride

How to Dress

Proper snowmobile clothing should be worn. It should be comfortable and not too tight. Always check the weather forecast before going on a ride. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin also provides a good insulation.

DOT approved helmets are recommended at all times. They provide both warmth and reduce injury. A stocking type cap, balaclava and face mask should always be carried or worn. Goggles or a face shield that attach to the helmet are indispensable.

Hands should be protected by a pair of snowmobile gloves or mitts which have sufficient insulation and allow use of thumbs and fingers for operation of controls.

Rubber bottom boots with either a nylon or a leather top, with removable felt liners are best suited for snowmobiling.

_______


________

The novice driver should become familiar with the snowmobile through practice on a level area at slow speeds before venturing afield.

Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat is an ideal position when operating the snowmobile over familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and hips should remain flexible to absorb shocks.

WARNING

Do not attempt any maneuvers if they are beyond your abilities.

Sitting

RIDING THE VEHICLE

You should keep yourself as dry as possible when snowmobiling. When you come indoors, take your snowmobile suit and boots off and make certain they dry properly.

Do not wear long scarfs and loose apparels that could get caught in moving parts.

What to Bring

Every snowmobiler should carry at least the following basic parts and tools that can help him and others in an emergency:

– This Operator's Guide

– Spare spark plugs and wrench

– Friction tape

– Spare drive belt

– Spare starter rope

– Spare light bulbs

– Tool kit (including at least pliers, screwdriver, adjustable wrench)

– Knife

– Flashlight.

Include other items depending on the length and time of your ride.

Riding Position

Your riding position and balance are the two basic principles of making your snowmobile go where you want it to.

When turning on the side of a hill, you and your passenger must be ready to shift body weight to help it turn in the desired direction. Driver and passenger(s) must never attempt this maneuvering by placing feet outside of the vehicle. Experience will teach you how much lean to put into turns at different speeds and how much you will have to lean into a slope to maintain proper balance.

Generally, the riding position for best balance and control is sitting. However, the posting, kneeling or standing positions are also used under certain conditions.

mmo2006-003-001

Posting

A semi-sitting position with the body off the seat and the feet under the body in a sort of squatting posture, thus allowing the legs to absorb the shocks when traveling over uneven terrain.

Avoid abrupt stops.

Kneeling

This position is achieved by placing one foot firmly on the running board and the opposite knee on the seat.

Avoid abrupt stops.

mmo2006-003-003

Standing

Place both feet on the running boards.

Knees should be flexed to absorb the shock from surface bumps. This is an effective position to see better and to shift weight as conditions dictate.

Avoid abrupt stop.

cations. Overloading is dangerous because snowmobiles are not designed for it.

Even when passengers are allowed, you must make sure that the persons who would like to become passengers are physically fit for snowmobiling.

WARNING

Any passenger must be able to firmly lay his feet on the footrests and keep his hands on the grab handles or seat strap at all times when seated. Respecting those physical criteria is important to ensure that the passenger is stable and to reduce the risks of ejection.

On snowmobiles allowing two passengers, if you have an adult and a child for passenger, BRP recommends that the child sits in the center location. This allows an adult sitting in the rear seat to keep a visual contact with the child and hold him if necessary. In addition, the child is best protected against the wind and cold temperature if seated in the center location.

Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his passengers and should inform them of snowmobiling basics.

mmo2006-003-004

Carrying a Passenger

Certain snowmobiles are designed for an operator only, others can allow one passenger only, and others can allow up to two passengers. Refer to the indications on the vehicles to know if any particular snowmobile can accommodate passengers or not, and if so, how many. Always respect those indi-

16

_______


________

WARNING

– Passengers must only sit on designated passenger seats.

Never allow anyone to sit between the handlebar and the operator.

– Each passenger seat must have a strap or grab handles and meet SSCC standards.

– Passengers and operators must always wear DOT approved helmets and warm clothing appropriate for snowmobiling. Make sure that no skin is exposed.

– Once underway, if a passenger feels uncomfortable or insecure for any reason, he must not wait, and tell the driver to slow down or stop.

Riding with passengers on board is different than riding alone. The operator has the benefit of knowing what will be the next maneuver and is able to prepare himself accordingly. The operator also benefits from the support of his grip on the handlebar. In contrast, the passengers have to rely on the operator’s careful and safe operation of the vehicle. In addition, “body english” is limited with passengers, and the operator can sometimes see more of the trail ahead than the passengers.

Therefore, smooth starting and stopping are required with passengers, and the operator must slow down. The operator must also warn passengers of side hills, bumps, branches, etc. An unforeseen bump can leave you passenger-less. Remind your passengers to lean into the turn with you, without causing the vehicle to topple. Be extremely careful, go more slowly and check the passengers frequently.


WARNING

When riding with a passenger:

– Braking ability and steering control are reduced. Decrease speed and allow extra space to maneuver.

– Adjust suspension according to weight.

For complete information on how to adjust the suspension, please refer to the section of this Operator’s Guide entitled

SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENTS

.

Use extra caution and go even more slowly with young passengers. Check frequently to make certain the child has a firm grip and is properly positioned with his feet on the running boards.

Terrain/Riding Variations

Groomed Trail

On a maintained trail, sitting is the most preferred riding position. Do not race and, above all, keep to the right hand side of the trail. Be prepared for the unexpected. Observe all trail signs. Do not zigzag from one side of the trail to the other.

Ungroomed Trail

Unless there has been a fresh snowfall you can expect “washboard” and snowdrift conditions. Taken at excessive speeds, such conditions can be physically harmful. Slow down. Hold on the handlebar and assume a posting position. Feet should be under the body assuming a crouched position to absorb any jarring effect. On longer stretches of “washboard” trails, the kneeling position of one knee on the seat can be adopted. This provides a certain amount of comfort, while at the same time keeps the body loose and capable of vehicle control. Beware of hidden rocks or tree stumps partially hidden by a recent snowfall.

________


________

17


Deep Snow

In deep “powder” snow, your vehicle could begin to “bog” down. If this occurs, turn in as wide an arc as possible and look for a firmer base. If you do get

“bogged”, and it happens to everyone, do not spin your track as this makes the vehicle sink deeper. Instead, turn the engine off, get off and move the back of the vehicle onto new snow. Then tramp a clear path ahead of the vehicle. A few feet will generally suffice.

Restart the engine. Assume the standing position and rock the vehicle gently as you steadily and slowly apply the throttle. Depending on whether the front or rear end of the vehicle is sinking, your feet should be placed on the opposing end of the running boards.

Never place foreign material beneath the track for support. Do not allow anyone to stand in front of, or to the rear of, the snowmobile with the engine running. Stay away from the track.

Personal injury will result if contact is made with the revolving track.

Frozen Water

Traveling frozen lakes and rivers can be fatal. Avoid waterways. If you are in an unfamiliar area, ask the local authorities or residents about the ice condition, inlets, outlets, springs, fast moving currents or other hazards. Never attempt to operate your snowmobile on ice that may be too weak to support you and the vehicle. Operating a snowmobile on ice or icy surfaces can be very dangerous if you do not observe certain precautions. The very nature of ice is foreign to good control of a snowmobile or any vehicle.

Traction for starting, turning or stopping is much less than that on snow.

Thus, these distances can be multiplied manyfold. Steering is minimal, and uncontrolled spins are an ever present danger. When operating on ice, drive slowly with caution. Allow

18 yourself plenty of room for stopping and turning. This is especially true at night.

Hard Packed Snow

Don't underestimate hard packed snow. It can be difficult to negotiate as both skis and track do not have as much traction. Best advice is to slow down and avoid rapid acceleration, turning or braking.

Uphill

There are two types of hills you can encounter — the open hill on which there are few trees, cliffs or other obstacles, and a hill that can only be climbed directly. On an open hill, the approach is to climb it by side hilling or slaloming.

Approach at an angle. Adopt a kneeling position. Keep your weight on the uphill side at all times. Maintain a steady, safe speed. Continue as far as you can in this direction, then switch to an opposite hill angle and riding position.

A direct climb could present problems.

Choose the standing position, accelerate before you start the climb and then reduce throttle pressure to prevent track slippage.

In either case, vehicle speed should be as fast as the incline demands. Always slow down as you reach the crest. If you cannot proceed further, don't spin your track. Turn the engine off, free the skis by pulling them out and downhill, place the rear of the snowmobile uphill restart the engine and ease it out with slow even throttle pressure. Position yourself to avoid tipping over, then descend.

Downhill

Downhill driving requires that you have full control of your vehicle at all times.

On steeper hills, keep your center of gravity low and both hands on the handlebar. Maintain slight throttle pressure and allow the machine to run downhill with the engine operating.

_______


________


If a higher than safe speed is reached, slow down by braking but apply the brake with frequent light pressure.

Never jam the brake and lock the track.

snowmobile ride.

Even when following existing tracks, be cautious.

Travel at a speed so you can see what is around the next bend or over the top of the hill.

Side Hill

When crossing a side hill or traversing up or downhill, certain procedures must be followed. All riders should lean towards the slope as required for stability. The preferred operating positions are the kneeling position, with the knee of the down hill leg on the seat and the foot of the uphill leg on the running board, or the posting position. Be prepared to shift your weight quickly as needed. Side hills and steep slopes are not recommended for a beginner or a novice snowmobiler.

Bright Sunshine

Bright sunny days can considerably reduce your vision. The glare from sun and snow may blind you to the extent that you cannot easily distinguish ravines, ditches or other obstacles.

Goggles with colored lenses should always be worn under these conditions.

Unseen Obstruction

Slush

Slush should be avoided at all times.

Always check for slush before starting across any lake or river. If dark spots appear in your tracks, get off the ice immediately. Ice and water can be thrown rearward into the path of a following snowmobile. Getting a vehicle out of a slush area is strenuous and in some cases, impossible.

There may be obstructions hidden beneath the snow. Driving off established trails and in the woods requires reduced speed and increased vigilance. Driving too fast in an area can make even minor obstacles very hazardous. Even hitting a small rock or stump could throw your snowmobile out of control and cause injury to its riders. Stay on established trails to reduce your exposure to hazards.

Be safe, slow down and enjoy the scenery.

Hidden Wires

Fog or Whiteouts

On land or water, fog or visibilitylimiting snow can form. If you have to proceed into the fog or heavy snow, do so slowly with your lights on and watch intently for hazards. If you are not sure of your way, do not proceed. Keep a safe distance behind other snowmobilers to improve visibility and reaction time.

Always be on the lookout for hidden wires, especially in areas that may have been farmed at one time or another. Too many accidents have been caused by running into wires in the fields, guy wires next to poles and roads, and into chains and wires used as road closures. Slow speeds are a must.

Obstacles and Jumping

Unfamiliar Territory

Whenever you enter an area that is new to you, drive with extreme caution. Go slow enough to recognize potential hazards such as fences or fence posts, brooks crossing your path, rocks, sudden dips, guy wires and countless other obstacles which could result in a termination of your

Unplanned jumps of snowdrifts, snowplow ridges, culverts or indistinguishable objects can be dangerous. You can avoid them by wearing the proper color lenses or face shields and by operating at a lower speed.

Jumping a snowmobile is an unsafe and dangerous practice. However, if the trail does suddenly drop away from you, crouch (stand) towards the rear of the vehicle and keep the skis up and straight ahead. Apply partial throttle and brace yourself for the impact.

Knees must be flexed to act as shock absorbers.

Turning

Depending on terrain conditions, there are two preferred ways to turn or corner a snowmobile. For most snow surfaces, “body english” is the key to turning. Leaning towards the inside of the turn and positioning body weight on the inside foot will create a “banking” condition beneath the track. By adopting this position and positioning yourself as far forward as possible, weight will be transferred to the inside ski.

On occasion, you will find that the only way to turn the vehicle about in deep snow is to pull the snowmobile around.

Do not over-exert yourself. Get assistance. Remember to always lift using your legs as opposed to your back.

the bank. Stop completely at the top of the bank and wait for all traffic to clear. Judge the drop to the roadway.

Cross the road at a 90° angle. If you encounter another snowbank on the opposite side, position your feet near the rear of the vehicle. Remember, your snowmobile is not designed to operate on bare pavement and steering on this type of surface is more difficult.

Railroad Crossing

Never ride on railroad tracks. It is illegal.

Railroad tracks and railroad rights-of-way are private property. A snowmobile is no match for a train.

When crossing a railroad track, stop, look and listen.

Night Rides

The amount of natural and artificial light at a given time can effect your ability to see or to be seen. Nighttime snowmobiling is delightful. It can be a unique experience if you acknowledge your reduced visibility. Before you start, make certain your lights are clean and work properly. Drive at speeds that will allow you to stop in time when you see an unknown or dangerous object ahead. Stay on established trails and never operate in unfamiliar territory. Avoid rivers and lakes. Guy wires, barbed wire fences, cabled road entrances and other objects such as tree limbs are difficult to see at night. Never drive alone. Always carry a flashlight. Keep away from residential areas and respect the right of others to sleep.

Road Crossing

In some cases, you will be approaching the road from a ditch or snowbank.

Choose a place where you know you can climb without difficulty. Use the standing position and proceed with only as much speed needed to crest

Safari Riding

Before starting out, designate a “trail boss” to lead the party and another person to follow-up at the end of the party.

Ensure that all members of the party are aware of the proposed route and destination. Make certain that you are carrying all necessary tools and equipment and that you have sufficient fuel to complete the trip. Never overtake

RIDING THE VEHICLE the trail boss or, for that matter, any other snowmobile. Use down-the-line hand signals to indicate hazards or intent of direction change. Assist others whenever necessary.

It is always IMPORTANT to keep a safe distance between each snowmobile. Always maintain a safe interval and allow sufficient stopping distance.

Don't be a tailgater. Know the position of the machine ahead.

Signals

If you intend to stop, raise either hand straight above your head. A left turn is indicated by extending your left hand straight out in the proper direction. For right turns, extend the left arm and raise the hand to a vertical position so it forms a right angle at the elbow. Every snowmobiler should relay any signal to the ones behind.

Trail Stops

Whenever possible, pull off the trail when you stop. This will reduce the hazard to other snowmobilers using the trail.

Trails and Signs

Trail signs are used to control, direct or regulate the use of snowmobiles on trails. Become familiar with all signs used in the area where you are snowmobiling.

Transporting and Towing

Follow transporting and towing instructions explained further in this guide.

GENERAL

Wildlife compliments your snowmobiling day. Snowmobile tracks provide firm ground over which animals can travel from area to area. Do not violate this privilege by chasing or harassing wildlife. Fatigue and exhaustion can lead to animal's death. Avoid areas posted for the protection or feeding of wildlife.

If you happen to be fortunate enough to see an animal, stop your snowmobile and observe quietly.

The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your snowmobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you can experience only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep snowmobilers healthy, happy and able to introduce others to what they know and enjoy about their favorite winter pastime. So, the next time you hit the trails on a cool, crisp and clear winter day, we ask you to remember that you are paving the way for the future of our sport. Help us lead it down the right path! From all of us at BRP, thank you for doing your share.

There is nothing more exhilarating than snowmobiling. Venturing onto snowmobile trails that cross wild areas is an exciting and healthy winter sport.

However, as the number of people using these recreational parks increases, so does the potential for damage to the environment. Abuse of land, facilities and resources inevitably leads to restrictions and closures of both private and public land.

In essence, the greatest threat to our sport, is all around us. Which leaves us with one logical choice. When we snowmobile, we must always ride responsibly.

The vast majority respect the law and the environment. Each of us must set an example for those who are new to the sport, young and old alike.

It is in every one's best interest to tread lightly into our recreational areas. Because, in the long run, to protect the sport we must preserve the environment.

Recognizing the importance of this issue and the need for snowmobilers to do their share in preserving areas that make it possible to enjoy our sport,

BRP has developed the “Light Treading is Smart Sledding” campaign for snowmobilers.

Light Treading refers to more than the thread of our tracks. It's a statement of concern, respect and willingness to take the lead and take action. It applies to the environment in general, its proper care and maintenance, its natural inhabitants and all enthusiasts and the public at large who enjoy the great outdoors. With this theme, we invite all snowmobilers to remember that respecting the environment is not only critical to the future of our industry but to future generations.

Light Treading in no way suggests you should curb your appetite for snowmobiling fun! It simply means tread with respect!

26

______________

JUST WHAT IS LIGHT TREADING?

The fundamental objective of Light

Treading is one of respect for where and how you ride a snowmobile.

You're a light treader when you follow the principles below.

Become informed. Obtain maps, regulations and other information from the Forest Service or from other public land agencies. Learn the rules and follow them and that goes for speed limits, too!

Avoid running over young trees, shrubs, and grasses and don't cut wood. On flatlands or areas where trail riding is popular, it's important to ride only where authorized. Remember, there is a link between protecting your environment and your own safety.

Respect wildlife and be particularly sensitive of animals that are rearing young or suffering from food shortage.

Stress can sap scarce energy reserves.

Refrain from riding in areas where only animals are intended to tread!

Obey gate closures and regulatory signs and remember, light treaders don't litter!

Stay out of wilderness areas. They're closed to all vehicles. Know where the boundaries are.

Obtain permission to travel across private land. Respect the rights of landowners and other people's privacy. Remember, snowmobile technology has lowered the noise factor considerably, but you still shouldn't rev your engines where quiet “is the order of the day”.

_______________

27

WHY IS LIGHT TREADING SMART

Snowmobilers know all too well the efforts that have been made throughout the sport's history to enjoy access to areas where people can snowmobile safely and responsibly. This effort continues today, as strong as ever.

Respecting the areas where we ride...

wherever they may be... is the only way to ensure their future enjoyment.

That's one major reason why we know you'll agree that Light Treading Is

Smart Sledding! And there are more.

Enjoying the opportunity to see winter and all its natural majestic wonders, is an experience cherished by snowmobilers. Light Treading will preserve this opportunity and will make it possible for us to expose others to the beauty of winter and the unique thrill of our sport! Light Treading will help our sport to grow!

Finally, Light Treading is the sign of a smart snowmobiler. You don't have to leave big tracks or careen through a virgin forest to show you can ride. So whether you're driving a high performance Ski-Doo, a sporty MX Z snowmobile or any other make or model, show you know what you're doing.

Show you know how to send snow flying and make tracks with a light touch!

RECOMMENDED FUEL AND OIL

Recommended Fuel

Use regular unleaded gasoline, available from most service stations or oxygenated fuel containing a maximum total of 10% of ethanol or methanol or both. The gasoline used must have the following recommended minimum octane number.

LOCATION

Inside North

America

Outside North

America

OCTANE NUMBER

(87 (RON +

MON)/2) (1)

92 RON (1)

(1) This is the minimum octane number required, if not available, (91 (RON +

MON)/2) or 95 RON (outside North

America) can be used.

NOTICE Never experiment with other fuels or fuel ratios. The use of non-recommended fuel can result in snowmobile performance deterioration and damage to critical parts in the fuel system and engine components. Do not mistake oil reservoir cap for fuel tank cap. Oil reservoir cap is identified OIL.

WARNING

Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions.

Always work in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity.

Open cap slowly. If a differential pressure condition is noticed

(whistling sound heard when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle inspected and/or repaired before further operation. Do not overfill or top off the fuel tank before placing the vehicle in a warm area. As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow. Always wipe off any fuel spillage from the vehicle. Periodically verify fuel system.

Fuel System Antifreeze

When using oxygenated fuel, additional gas line antifreeze or water absorbing additives are not required and should be not used.

When using non-oxygenated fuel, we highly recommend the use of isopropyl base gas line antifreeze in a proportion of 150 ml (5 U.S. oz)) of gas line antifreeze added to 40 liters (10-1/2 U.S.

gal) of gas.

This precaution is in order to reduce the risk of frost buildup in carburetors/ throttle bodies which may lead, in certain cases, to high fuel consumption or severe damage to engine.

NOTE: Use only methyl hydrate free gas line antifreeze.

Recommended Oil

550F/600 Engine Type

NOTICE Use only injection oil that flows at -40°C (-40°F). Do not mismatch oil reservoir cap with fuel tank cap. Oil reservoir cap is identified OIL.

5. Spark plug/ignition (no spark).

– Remove spark plug(s), then reconnect to spark cap. Check that engine stop switch is at the ON position (up) and the tether cord cap (D.E.S.S. key) on its post. Start engine with spark plug(s) grounded to engine away from spark plug hole. If no spark appears, replace spark plug. If trouble persists, contact an authorized Ski-Doo dealer.

6. Engine compression.

– As the engine is pulled over with the rewind starter, “cycles” of resistance should be felt as piston goes past top dead center (each piston on multi-cylinder engines). If no pulsating resistance is felt, it suggests a major loss of compression. Contact an authorized Ski-Doo dealer.

ENGINE LACKS ACCELERATION OR POWER

1. D.E.S.S. did not read tether cord cap (D.E.S.S. key) code. D.E.S.S. pilot lamp blinks once every 1.5 seconds. Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.

– Properly install tether cord cap (D.E.S.S. key).

2. D.E.S.S. has read a different tether cord cap (D.E.S.S. key) code than the one programmed. D.E.S.S. pilot lamp blinks rapidly (3 times per second).

Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.

– Install a tether cord cap (D.E.S.S. key) for which this snowmobile was programmed.

3. Fouled or defective spark plug.

– Check item 5 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.

4. Lack of fuel to engine.

– Check item 4 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.

5. Carburetor adjustments.

– Contact an authorized Ski-Doo dealer.

6. Drive belt worn too thin.

– If the drive belt has lost more than 3 mm (1/8 in) of its original width, it will affect vehicle performance. Replace drive belt.

7. Drive and driven pulleys require servicing.


8. Engine is overheating.

– On liquid cooled engines, check coolant level, pressure cap, thermostat and for air locks in cooling system. On fan cooled engines, check fan belt and its tension; clean cooling fins of engine; if overheating persists, contact an authorized Ski-Doo dealer.

EPA CERTIFIED ENGINES

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any snowmobile SI (spark ignition) engine repair establishments or individual.

Engine Emissions

Information

Manufacturer's Responsibility

Snowmobile manufacturers of snowmobile engines need to determine the exhaust emission levels for each engine horsepower family and certify these engines with the United States of America Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA). An emissions control information label, showing emission levels and engine specifications, must be placed on each vehicle at the time of manufacture.

Dealer's Responsibility

When performing service on a certified Ski-Doo snowmobiles that carry an emissions control information label, adjustments must be kept within published factory specifications.

Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the prescribed certification standards.

Dealers are not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.

Exceptions include manufacturer's prescribed changes, such as altitude adjustments for example.

Owner Responsibility

The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance performed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification standards.

The owner/operator is not to, and should not allow anyone to modify the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.

EPA Emission Regulations

All new Ski-Doo snowmobiles manufactured by BRP are certified to the

EPA as conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new snowmobile engines. This certification is contingent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards. For this reason, the factory procedure for servicing the product must be strictly followed and, whenever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design.

The responsibilities listed above are general and in no way a complete listing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust emissions for snowmobile products. For more detailed information on this subject, you may contact the following locations:

BRP suggests that you try to resolve the issue at the dealership level. We recommend discussing the issue with the authorized distributor/dealer's service manager or owner. If further assistance is required, the distributor's service department should be contacted in order to resolve the matter. If the matter still remains unresolved then contact BRP at the address listed below.

In case of change of ownership, please join a proof that the former owner agreed to the transfer.

Notifying BRP, even after the expiration of the limited warranty, is very important as it enables BRP to reach the vehicle owner if necessary, like when safety recalls are initiated. It is the owner’s responsibility to notify BRP.

STOLEN UNITS: If your personal vehicle is stolen, you should notify BRP or an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. We will ask you to provide your name, address, phone number, the vehicle identification number and the date it was stolen.
