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, maximum t h r o t ~ l eshould not exceed 3/4, however, brieffull acceleration and speed variationscontribute to a good break-in. Continued wide open throttle accelerations,prolonged cruising speeds, and luggingare detrimental during the break-inperiod._ CAUTION: Remove and clean. " . spark plugs after engine break-in.O NOTE: A new drive belt requiresa break-in period of 15-25 km (1015 miles).

10-Hour InspectionAs with any precision piece of mechanical equipment, we suggest that after thefirst 10 hours of operation or 30 davs after the purchase, whichever comes first,your vehicle be checked by your dealer.This inspection will give you the opportunity to discuss the unanswered q u ~ s -tions you may have encountered dUringthe first hours of operation. Rememberthat it is easier to remedyat this time thanto allow the snowmobile to operate untila possible failure occurs.

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

To install the drive belt, reverse the procedure.Drive Belt ConditionInspect belt for cracks, fraying or abnormal wear (uneven wear, wear onone side, missing cogs, cracked fabric).If abnormal wear is noted, probablecause could be pulley misalignment, excessive R.P.M. with frozen track, faststarts without warm-up period, burredsheave, oil on belt or distorted sparebelt. Contact your dealer.Check the drive belt width. If less than32 mm (1 1/4 in), replace the drive belt.

_ CAUTION: If spark plug condi-.. t ion is not ideal, contact your authorized dealer.Check spark plug gap using a wire feelergauge.Reinstall plugs and connect wires.

After the adjustment, brake should apply fully when lever is approximatively13 mm (1/2") from handlebar grip. Ifnot, do not tamper with the brake, contact your servicing dealer.

Spark PlugsDisconnect the spark plug wires andremove the spark plugs.Check the condition of the plugs. A brownish tip reflects ideal conditions. (Carburetor adjustments, sparkplug heat range, etc., are correct.) A black insulator tip indicates foulingcaused by: carburetor idle speedmixture and/or high speed mixture toorich, incorrect fuel mixture ratio,wrong type of spark plug (heatrange),or excessive idling. A light grey insulator tip indicates alean mixture caused by: carburetorhigh speed mixture adjusted toolean, wrong spark plug heat range,

incorrect fuel mixture ratio, or a leaking seal or gasket.

New Drive BeltWhen installing a new drive belt, breakin period of 25 km (15 milesl is strongly recommended.O NOTE: Always store a spare beltin a manner to allow its naturalshape to be maintained.Brake ConditionThe brake mechanism on your snowmobile is an essential safety device.Keep this mechanism in proper workingcondition. Above all, do not operateyour snowmobile without an effectivebrake system. WARNING: Brake pads less than3 mm (118") thick must be replaced. Replacement must be performedby an authorized dealer.

Brake AdjustmentThe brake mechanism is a self-adjustingtype. If a quicker brake response is desired, strongly pull the brake lever several times, this will actuate the self adjusting mechanism.

Battery(Safari 377E & Grand Luxe)Check electrolyte level weekly. Electrolyte level must be at upper level line onbattery casing.

Maximum level

If necessary add distilled water, Batteryconnections must also be free of corrosion. If cleaning is necessary removecorrosion using a stiff brush then cleanwith a solution of baking soda andwater. Rinse and dry well._ CAUTION: Do not allow cleaning..". solution to enter battery. It willdestroy the chemical properties of theelectrolyte.After reconnecting battery, coat batteryterminals and connectors with petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. Checkthat battery is well secured and that battery vent tube is not kinked or blocked.

WARNING: Vent tube must befree and open. If not, it will restrict ventilation and create a gas accumulation that could result in an explosion. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte.

_ CAUTION: Prior to charging the..". battery, always remove it fromthe vehicle to prevent electrolyte spillage.O NOTE: Always keep battery fullycharged, (To charge, refer to "Battery" in "Storage" section).Suspension ConditionVisually inspect all suspension components including slider shoes, springs,wheels, etc."

O NOTE: During normal driving,snow will act as a lubricant andcoolant for the slider shoes. Extensiveriding on ice or sanded snow, will createexcessive heat build-up and causepremature slider shoe wear.Suspension AdjustmentThe suspension is adjustable, The frontadjustment for surface condition, therear for driver's weight.

Leftand right adjuster blocks of each adj us tm en t m us t always be set at th esame elevation.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 track fibers are exposed, or jf missing or defective inserts or guides are noted; contact your dealer.+WARNING: Do not operate asnowmobile with a cut, torn ordamaged track.Track Tension and AlignmentTension:Lift the rear of vehicle and support witha mechanical stand. Allow the slide toextend normally. The gap should bebetween 9.5 mm (3/8") and 13 mm(1/2") between the slider shoe and thebottom inside of the track when aweight of 2.95 kg (6.5 lbs) is appliedon track. If the track tension. If the tracktension is too loose,the track will havea tendency to thump.

9.5 mm to 13 mm (3/8 to 112.")

_ CAUTION: Too much tension. . . will result in power loss and excessive stresses on suspension components.If necessary to adjust; loosen the rearidler wheel retaining screw and the adjuster bolt lock nut; then loosen ortighten the adjuster bolts located on theinner side of the rear idler wheels. If correct tension is unattainable, contactyour dealer.Retaining screwloosen

Steering AdjustmentSkis should have a toe out of 3 mm(l /S"). To check, measure the distancebetween each ski at the front and rearof the leaf springs. The front distanceshould be 3 mm ( l /S") more than therear when the handlebar is horizontal.IMPORTANT: Close the front of the skismanually to eliminate all slack from thesteering mechanism.

Drive PulleyInspect the Duralon bushing conditionby checking the free-play of the s l i d i ~ ghalf pulley. This is achieved by restraining the inner half and checking if thesliding half moves in the direction of thearrows more than 3 mm ( l /S"). If so,contact your dealer.
