SAFETY IN MAINTENANCE

Observe the followingprecautions:• Throttle mechanism should be

checked for free movement beforestarting engine.

• Engine should be running only whenpulley guard is secured in place.

• Never run engine without drive beltinstalled. Running an unloaded en­gine can prove to be dangerous.

• Never run engine when the track ofthe vehicle is raised off the ground.

• It can be dangerous to run enginewith the cab opened.

• Since engine cooling is fully in ef­fect only when the vehicle is in mo­tion and driven on snow, it is notrecommended that you allow theengine to idle for move than briefperiods and/or you drive the vehicleon icy surface. Prolonged idlingand/or continuous driving on icemay cause engine damage.

• Gasoline is flammable and explosiveunder certain conditions. Alwaysperform procedures in a well ventila­ted area. Do not smoke or allowopen flames or sparks in the vicinity.If gasoline fumes are noticed whiledriving, the cause should be deter­mined and corrected without delay.

• Your snowmobile is not designed tobe operated on public streets, roador highways. In most States andProvinces, it is considered 'an illegaloperation.

• Maintain vour vehicle in top mecha­nical condition at all times.

• Your snowmobile is not designed tobe driven or operated on black top,bare earth, or other abrasive sur­faces. On such surfaces abnormaland excessive wear of critical partsis inevitable.

• Only perform procedures as detailedin this manual. Unless otherwisespecified, engine should be turnedOFF for all lubrication and mainte­nance procedures.

• Installation of other than " stock"e­quiprnent, including ski-spreaders,bumpers, pack racks, etc., couldseverely affect the stability and safe­ty of your vehicle. Avoid adding onaccessories that alter the basic ve­hicle configuration.

• When removing coolant tank cap,first place a cloth over cap then turncap to its first step to release pres­sure. Never drain or refill the coolingsystem when engine is hot.

• The snowmobile engine can bestopped by activating the emergen­cy cut-out switch, tether switch orby turning off the key.

ToolBoxLocated under the cab. To gain access,tilt cab. Ideal location for spare plugs,belt, rope, etc.

Fuel GaugeThe fuel gauge is located on the leftside of the fuel tank. The gauge func­tions on the principle of communicat­ing vessels, so the fuel level inside thetank is directly related with the level in­dicated on the gauge.

..&. WARNING: Never use a lit match

... or open flame to check fuel level.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobileengines, a break-in period is requiredbefore running the vehicle at full throt­tle. Engine's manufacturer recommen­dation is 10 to 15 operating hours. Dur­ing this period, a richer mixture isneeded (i.e, 40 parts of gas for 1 part of50/1 Bombardier oil). Maximum throt­tle should not exceed 3/4, however,brief full acceleration and speed varia­tions contribute to a good break-in.Continued wide open throttle accelera­tions, prolonged cruising spe~ds, andlugging are detrimental dunng thebreak-in period.

1G-Hour InspectionAs with any precision piece of mechan­ical equipement, we suggest,that alterthe first 10 hours of operation or 30days after the purchase, whichevercomes first, that your vehicle be check­ed by your dealer. This inspection willgive you the opportunity to discuss theunanswered questions you mat haveencountered during the first hours ofoperation. Remember that it is easierto remedy at this time than ~o allow ,thesnowmobile to operate until a possiblefailure occurs.

The 10 hours inspection is at the ex­pense of the vehicle owner.

FUEL MIXING

Oil must be added to the gasoline inpre-measured amounts then both oiland gasoline should be thoroughlymixed together before fueling the tank.

Recommended GasolineThe correct gasoline is regular gasolineavailable from all service stations..., CAUTION: Never experiment... with different fuel or fuel ratios.

Never use naphtha, methanol or similarproducts.

Recommended OilUse concentrated Bombardier snow­mobile oil available from your dealer.This type of oil has specially formu­lated oil bases to meet the lubricationrequirements of the Bombardier-Rotaxengine.

If Bombardier snowmobile oil is un­available substitute with a high-quality2 cycle snowmobile oil. The oil/gasmix must meet the vehicle require­ments. See oil manufacturer re-com­mendations on the container .

.., CAUTION: Never use outboard... or straight mineral oils.

Fuel Mixture RatioThe importance of using the correctfuel mixture cannot be overstressed.An incorrect fuel ratio results in seriousengine damage. Recommended fuelratio is 50/1. (40/1 during brake inperiod) .

SI Measure500 mL oil to 25 liters = 50/1.

Imperial Measure1 can 16 02 oil to 5 Imp. gals = 50/1.

or

1 can 500 mL oil to 5 1/2 Imp. gals50/1.

U.S. Measure1 can 12 02 oil to 5 U.S. gals = 50/1.

O NOTE: To facilitate fuel mixing oilshould be kept at room tempera­

ture.

Fuel Mixing ProcedureTo mix the gasoline and oil always usea separate clean container. Never mixdirectly in your snowmobile tank. Forbest results, acquire two containers,either plastic or metal. Draw from oneuntil empty then use the second one.

A WARNING: Gasoline is flamma­.",. ble and explosive under certainconditions. Always perform pro­cedures in a well ventilated area. Donot smoke or allow open flames orsparks in the vicinity. If gasolinefumesare noticed while driving, the causeshould be determined and correctedwithout delay. Never add fuel while theengine is running. Avoid skin contactwith fuel at below freezing tempera­ture.

1. Pour approximately one gallon ofgasoline into a clean container.

2. Add the full amount of oil.

9

3. Replace the container cap andshake the container thoroughly.

4. Add the remainder of the gasoline.

5. Once again thoroughly agitate thecontainer. Then using a funnel witha fine mesh screen to prevent theentry of water and foreign particles,transfer mixture from container intothe snowmobile tank.

A WARNING: To prevent fuel spill­.... age in the engine compartment, afunnel must always be used when fill­ing the gas tank.

a NOTE: When using pre-mixedfuel, always shake the container

thoroughly as the oil has a tendency tosettle.

AWARNING: Never 'top up' the....gas tank before placing vehiclein a warm area. At certain tempera­tures, gasoline will expand andoverflow.

PRE-START CHECK

Check Points• Activate the throttle control lever

several times to check that it oper­ates easily and smoothly. The throt­tle control lever must return to idleposition when released.

• Check that the skis and the track arenot frozen to the ground or snowsurface and that the steering oper­ates freely.

• Activate the brake control lever andmake sure the brake fully applies be­fore the brake control lever touchesthe handlebar grip.

• Check coolant level. Liquid shouldbe 2.5 em (1") below filler neck. Ifadditional coolant is necessary1 al­ways use a 50/50 (50 parts of waterfor 50 parts of antifreeze) solution.When entire system has to be re­filled use a solution of 3 parts ofanti-freeze for 2 parts of water. Seecooling system in storage .

A WARNING: Before removing.... the cap always the pressure byplacing a rag on the cap and by par­tially unscrewing it (first step). If thisis disregarded loss of fluid andpossibility of severe burns could oc­cur.

• Check fuel level.

• Verify that the path ahead of the ve­hicle is clear of bystanders and ob­stacles.

A WARNING: Only start your snow­.... mobile once all components arechecked and functioning properly.

.. CAUTION: If spark plug condi­... tion is not ideal, contact your au­

thorized dealer.

Check spark plug gap using a wirefeeler gauge.

Reinstall plugs and connect wires.

(W2) Suspension ConditionVisually inspect all suspension compo­nents including slider shoes, springs,wheels, etc ...

O NOTE: During normal driving,snow will act as a lubricant and

coolant for the slider shoes. Extensiveriding on ice or sanded snow, (not tomention dirt, asphalt, etc. never re­commended) will create excessive heatbuild-up and cause premature slidershoe wear.

(W3) Track ConditionLift the rear of the vehicle and supportit off the ground. With the engine off,rotate the track by hand, and inspectcondition. If worn or cut, or if trackfibers are exposed or missing or defec­tive inserts or guides are noted, con­tact your dealer.

..... WARNING: Do not operate aT snowmobile with a cut, torn ordamaged track.

14

(W4) Track Tension andAlignmentThe suspension is adjustable, the frontadjustment for surface condition, therear for driver's weight.

When the front adjuster blocks are atthe lowest elevation more weight isdistributed on the skis. At the highestposition the weight is transferred to thetrack. The rear adjuster blocks shouldbe adjusted to suit the driver'spreference.

.. CAUTION: Always turn the left... side adjuster blocks in a clock­

wise direction, the right side blocks in acounter-clockwise direction. Left andright adjuster blocks of each adjust­ment must always be set at the sameelevation.

Lift the rear of vehicle and support witha mechanical stand. Allow the slide toextend normally. Check the gap 13 mm(1/2/1) between the slider shoe and thebottom inside of the track. If the tracktension is too loose, the track will havea tendency to thump.

~ CAUTION: Too much tension... will result in power loss and ex­

cessive stresses on suspension com­ponents.

If necessary to adjust. Loosen the rearidler wheel retaining screw and thenloosen or tighten the adjuster bolts lo­cated on the inner side of the rear idlerwheels. If correct tension is unat­tainable. Contact your dealer.

O NOTE: Track tension and align­ment are inter-related. Do not ad-

just one without the other.

Start the engine and accelerate slightlyso that the track turns slowly. Checkthat the track is well centered. Equaldistance on both sides between edgesof track guides and slider shoes.

.... WARNING: Before checking

.., track alignment, ensure that thetrack is free of all particles which couldbe thrown out while track is rotating.Keep hands, tools, feet and clothingclear of track. Ensure no-one is stand­ing in close proximity to the vehicle.

To correct, stop the engine, loosen therear idler wheels retaining screws thenloosen the lock nuts and tighten theadjuster bolt on the side where theslider shoe is the furthest to the trackinsert guides.

Tighten the lock nuts and recheck thealignment. Ensure to retighten the idlerwheel retaining screws.

(W5) Carburetor Adjustment_ CAUTION: Never operate your• snowmobile with the air intake

silencer disconnected. Serious enginedamage will occur if this notice is dis­regarded.

A) Air Screw AdjustmentCompletely close the air screw {until aslight reseating resistance is felt) thenback off screw: as specified .

(WI) Drive BeltInspect the belt for cracks. fraying orabnormal wear (uneven wear, wear onone side, etc.) If abnormal wear is not­ed, probable cause is pulley misalign­ment. Contact your dealer.

Check the drive belt width, if less than3cm (13116") replace.

O NOTE: When installing a newdrive belt, a break-in period of 15­

25 km (10-15 miles) is strongly recom­mended.

(W7) Steering MechanismInspect the steering mechanism fortightness of components (steeringarms, tie rods, ball joints, springcoupler bolts, etc.). If necessary, re­place or retighten .

Check the condition of the skis and theski runners. Replace if worn.

..WARNING: Missing of half

..... worn ski runner(s) may, undercertain conditions, cause a loss insteering efficiency. Always replace asnecessary.

(W8) Drive PulleyInspect the Duralon bushing conditionby checking the free-play of the slidinghalf pulley. This is achieved by restrain­ing the inner half and checking if thesliding half moves in the direction ofthe arrows more than 3 mm (118

STORAGE

IMPORTANT: It is during summer, orwhen a vehicle is not in use for anylength ,of time that proper storage is anecessity. Storage of the snowmobileduring long period of inactivity consistsof checking and replacing missing,broken or worn parts: Proper lubrica­tion and treatment to insure that partsdo not become rusted; cleaning itemssuch as carburetor of oil mixtures toprevent gum varnish formation withinthe carburetor; and in general, prepar­ing the vehicle so that when the timec<?mes to use the snowmobile again itwill start and be in top condition .

..WARNING: Only perform suchT procedures as detailed in thismanual. It is recommended that dealerassistance be periodically obtained onother components/systems not cov­ered in this manual. Unless otherwisespecified, engine should be turned OFFfor all lubrication and maintenance pro­cedures.

CoolingTo drain the cooling system, removethe coolant tank cap .

..WARNING: Never drain or refillT the cooling system when engineis hot.

Connect a drain hose to the loweregine drain valve. Open valve and drainsystem.

O NOTE: Open end of drain hoseshould be lower than engine

base.

19

However, to completely drain the sys­tem, blow into the tank through thevent tube while blocking the tank fillerneck with one hand to prevent airleakage.

... CAUTION: To prevent rust for­.. mation in the cooling system, al­

ways replenish the system with the re­commended solution (60% anti-freeze40% water).

To refill the cooling system:
