OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating During Break-In
Period
Engine
NOTICE
A break-in period of ONE
operating hour is required before
running the snowmobile at full
throttle.
During break-in period, brief full ac-
celerations and speed variations con-
tribute to a good break-in. Do not main-
tain a constant speed for an extended
period of time.
NOTICE
Engine overheating, con-
tinued wide open throttle runs and
prolonged cruising without speed
variations should be avoided.
Belt
A new drive belt requires a break-in
period of 50 km (30 mi). Avoid strong
acceleration/deceleration,
pulling a
load or high speed cruising.
10-Hour Inspection
NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
We suggest that after the first 10
hours or 500 km (300 mi) of operation,
whichever comes first, your snow-
mobile be checked by an authorized
Ski-Doo dealer. Refer to
MAINTE-
NANCE INFORMATION
section.
Engine Starting Procedure
Procedure
1. Apply parking brake.
2. Recheck throttle control lever oper-
ation.
3. Put your helmet on.
4. Ensure that the tether cord cap is in
position and that the cord attached

6. To prime, activate button until a
pumping resistance is felt. From
this point, pump 2 or 3 times to in-
ject fuel in intake manifold. After
