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.

• 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.

• The snowmobile engine can be stopped by activating the emergency cutout switch, tether switch or by turning off the key.

• 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.

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

• The Safari Voyageur model is designed for the driver only. No provisions have been made for a passenger.

• 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

OFTEN ASKED

QUESTIONS __________________________ __

0: Why must my snowmobile be registered at the factory? After all I do have my original invoice as proof of when I purchased my snowmobile.

A: Your warranty is val1d at any authorized dealer of the product. Your registration is the key element in providing the servicing dealer with the necessary data to complete warranty claim forms. This information is also used to notify owners in the event of a safety recall.

0: Who should send the registration card to Bombardier Inc.?

A:

The dealer. However, it is important that the customer make sure that it has been sent. The company might contact you should your vehicle be recalled or in case of a particular warranty campaign.

0: Where can I find information on the lubrication and maintenance of my snowmobile?

A: In this Operator Manual provided with the vehicle at the time of delivery.

0: Will the entire warranty be void or cancelled, if I do not operate or maintain my new snowmobile exactly as specified in the Operator's Manual?

A: The warranty of the new snowmobile cannot be "Voided" or "Cancelled':

However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than is shown in the Operator Manual, THAT failure may not be covered under warranty. This includes service work performed by the customer, especially the critical adjustments to ignition, timing, carburation and oil injection/or oil mixture.

0: Would you give some examples of abnormal use or strain, neglect or abuse?

A: These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Some specific examples may include: running the machine out of oil, chain failure caused by a lack of lubrication, operating the machine 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 dealer for advice.

6

A: The customer's 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 damages costs as explained in the warranty.

0: If I sell my snowmobile within the warranty period, will the new owner qualify for the balance of the warranty?

A:

Yes, provided the unit has already been registered with the manufacturer.

Note that the change of ownership card in this manual should be completed and sent to Bombardier Inc.

0: 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 dealer and Bombardier Inc.

Some vehicles are equipped with a hitch, plate type, on the rear bumper. A hook type may be fitted to the actual hitch.

Consult your authorized dealer for details.

Trailers or sleds towed behind a snowmobile should always be loaded in a way to obtain the lowest possible center of gravity. Use a rigid tow bar when pulling a tow sled behind your snowmobile.

When you are pulling passengers in a trailer or tow sled, use moderate speed an avoid rough terrain for their safety.

Also, have all passengers get out of a towed vehicle and walk across all roads.

Accessories

Some optional accessories might be added to your vehicle such as speedometer, tachometer, hitch, electric starter, etc, if not standard on your vehicle. Ask your authorized dealer for more information.

Engine

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

Engine's manufacturer recomme~datio.n is 10 to 15 operating hours. Dunng th1s period, maximum throttle should not

~x ceed

3/4, however, brief full accelerat1on 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 break-in, 500 ml (18 imp. oz) of BLIZ-

ZARD 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 .

..... CAUTION: Remove and clean

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 10 hours of operation or 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.
