SAFETY MEASURES
Observe the Following Warnings:
For vehicles with a parking brake, always engage brake when ve-
hicle is not in use.
Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and
return to idle position before starting engine.
In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by activat-
ing the engine cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or turning off
the key. Note that only the fan-cooled models have an ignition key.
Engine should be running only when belt guard is secured in place.
Never run the engine without drive belt installed. Running an un-
loaded engine such as without drive belt or with track raised, can
be dangerous.
Never run the engine when the track is raised off the ground or
with the hood or access panel opened or removed.
Do not stud the track. At speed it may cause the track to tear and
separate from vehicle posing a risk of severe injury or death.
Never run the engine in a non well-ventilated area and/or unattended.
Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all times.
Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets,
roads or highways. In most States and Provinces, it is considered
an illegal operation.
Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while
installed on snowmobile.
Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.
Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. Unless other-
wise specified, engine should be turned OFF and cold for all lubri-
cation, adjustment and maintenance procedures.
Some snowmobiles are designed for the driver only and no provi-
sions have been made for a passenger.
The performance of this snowmobile may significantly exceed that
of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by nov-
ice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.
The engine and components used in a particular model should not
be used on other models. Use of Rotax
®
snowmobile engines in
other than SKI-DOO snowmobiles is not recommended or autho-
rized by Bombardier Inc.
