MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance is very important for keeping your vehicle in safe operating condition.
The vehicle should be serviced as per the maintenance schedule.
The maintenance schedule does not exempt the pre-ride inspection.
WARNING
Failure to properly maintain the vehicle according to the maintenance
schedule and procedures can make it unsafe to operate.
EPA Regulation - Canadian and USA Vehicles
A repair shop or person of the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or
repair
emission control devices and systems. These instructions do not require
components or service by BRP or authorized Can-Am Off-Road dealers.
Although an authorized Can-Am Off-Road dealer has an in-depth technical knowl-
edge and tools to service your vehicle, the emission-related warranty is not condi-
tioned on the use of an authorized Can-Am Off-Road dealer or any other establish-
ment with which BRP has a commercial relationship.
Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim may be
denied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through
improper maintenance or use.
For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair
of emission-related parts to the authorized Can-Am Off-Road dealers. For more
information, please refer to the
US EPA EMISSION-RELATED WARRANTY
con-
tained in the
WARRANTY
section.
You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the fueling section of
this manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol
is readily available, the US EPA issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline
containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that applies to this vehicle. The use of
gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may harm the
emission control system.
The maintenance schedule does not exempt the pre-ride inspection.
SEVERE DUSTY CONDITIONS

Air filter maintenance must be increased in frequency in the following dusty condi-
tions:

NOTE: Riding in a group in these conditions would increase even more the air filter
maintenance.
