
Do not stud the track unless it has
been approved for studs. At speed,
a studded track that has not been
approved for studs could tear and
separate from vehicle posing a risk
of severe injury or death. See an
authorized SKI-DOO dealer for cur-
rent specific studding availability
and applications.

You may stud the track on this ve-
hicle model. However, you MUST
only use the BRP approved type
stud for use on Ski-Doo snowmo-
biles.
DO NOT EVER use con-
ventional studs because the track
thickness is thinner then our stan-
dard tracks. The stud could tear off
of track and separate from vehicle
posing a potential risk of severe
injury or death.
Fuel

Always stop the engine before
refueling. Fuel is flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well-ventilated
area. Do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the vicinity.
Open cap slowly.
If a differen-
tial pressure condition is noticed
(whistling sound heard when loos-
ening fuel tank cap) have vehicle
inspected and/or repaired before
further operation. Do not overfill
or top off the fuel tank before plac-
ing the vehicle in a warm area.
As temperature increases, fuel ex-
pands and might overflow. Always
wipe off any fuel spillage from the
vehicle. Periodically verify fuel sys-
tem.
Basics for Passenger

Never ride as a passenger unless
the snowmobile is equipped with a
passenger seat, and sit only on the
designated passenger seat.

Always wear a DOT approved hel-
met and follow the same dressing
guidelines as those recommended
for the operator and described in
this guide.

Make sure that you are able to
achieve a stable stance, both feet
resting positively on the footboards
of footrests with good grip, and
that you are able to hold on firmly
to the handholds.

Once underway, if you feel uncom-
fortable or insecure for any reason,
don't wait, tell the driver to slow
down or stop.
