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 before
starting engine.
In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by acti-
vating the engine cut-out switch or pulling the tether cord.
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
prove to be dangerous.
Never run the engine 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.
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.
Do not stud the track.
Reverse models only: These snowmobiles are capable of a fast
reverse. Always remain seated and apply the brake before shifting.
Come to a complete stop before selecting reverse gear. Ensure
the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders. Fast reverse
could result in loss of stability.
