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 before
starting engine.
The snowmobile engine can be stopped by activating the engine
cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or turning off the key.

with the hood opened or removed.
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 and maintenance procedures.
Some snowmobiles are designed for the driver only and no provi-
sions have been made for a passenger.
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.
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.
