At factory, your snowmobile was calibrated to be used within an alti-
tude range (relative to sea level).
A new snowmobile has a tag attached to the handlebar indicating its
calibration. Refer to
Safety Information on Vehicle
.
If for any reason you don't know your snowmobile calibration, contact
an authorized BRP snowmobile dealer.
If your snowmobile is to be used at an altitude outside the specified
range, have it calibrated accordingly by an authorized BRP snowmo-
bile dealer.
