Ski-Doo MX Z X 600 RS, Operator'S Manual

RIDING THE VEHICLE
Each operator has a responsibility to
ensure the safety of other recreation-
ists or bystanders.
You are responsible for proper opera-
tion of your vehicle as well as training
those whom you allow to ride or drive.
There may be noticeable handling and
performance differences from one
snowmobile to the other.
A snowmobile is relatively simple to
operate but like any other vehicle or
mechanical equipment, it can be haz-
ardous if you are reckless, thoughtless
or inattentive. We encourage you to
have an Annual Safety Inspection of
your snowmobile. Please contact an
authorized Ski-Doo dealer for further
details. Finally, we urge you to visit an
authorized Ski-Doo dealer periodically
for regular and safety maintenance, as
well as snowmobile accessories you
may require.
Before venturing on the trails, operate
the snowmobile in a restricted flat area
until you are completely familiar with
its operation and feel comfortable that
you can safely tackle a more demand-
ing task. Have an enjoyable and safe
ride.
Pre-Ride Inspection
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very
important prior to operating the
vehicle. Always check the proper
operation
of critical controls,
safety features and mechanical
components before starting.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Remove snow and ice from body in-
cluding lights, seat, footrests, con-
trols and instruments.
2. Verify that air silencer prefilter is free
of snow.
3. Verify that skis and steering operate
freely. Check corresponding action
of skis versus handlebar.
4. Check fuel level. Replenish if nec-
essary.
5. Check coolant and brake fluid levels.
In case of a low level, contact an au-
thorized Ski-Doo dealer.
6. All storage compartments must be
properly latched and they must not
contain any heavy or breakable ob-
jects. Hood and side panels must
be also properly latched.
7. Check track condition. Remove
snow or ice if necessary.
8. Check rear suspension slider shoes
condition.
9. Activate the throttle control lever
several times to check that it oper-
ates easily and smoothly. It must re-
turn to idle position when released.
10. Activate the brake lever and make
sure the brake fully applies before
the brake control lever touches the
handlebar grip. It must return to
the rest position when released.
11. Apply parking brake and check if it
operates properly. Leave parking
brake applied.
