 WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious
injury.
 CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate
injury. When used without the
safety alert symbol , potential
hazard exists for property damage
only.
NOTE: Indicates supplementary information needed to fully complete an instruction.
Although the mere reading of such information does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding and application
of the information will promote the
correct use of the vehicle.
Your dealer is committed to your satisfaction. He has taken training to perform the initial set-up and inspection
of your snowmobile as well as completed the final adjustment required
to suit your specific weight and riding
environment before you took possession. At delivery, your dealer would
have explained the snowmobile controls and provided you with a brief
explanation of the various suspension
adjustments. We trust you have taken full advantage of this!

INTRODUCTION
Everyone is a beginner the first time
he sits behind the controls of a snowmobile regardless of previous experience in driving an automobile, a
motorcycle or a motorboat. The safe
use of your snowmobile is dependent
on many conditions such as visibility,
speed, weather, environment, traffic,
vehicle condition and the condition of
the driver.
Each operator has a responsibility to
ensure the safety of his/her passenger, if any, and of other recreationists
or bystanders.
You are responsible for proper operation 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
hazardous if you or a passenger 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.

IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES
Training
Age
 Basic training is required for the
safe operation of any snowmobile.
Study your Operator's Guide paying
particular attention to cautions and
warnings. Join your local snowmobile club: its social activities
and trail systems are planned for
both fun and safety. Obtain basic
instructions from your snowmobile
dealer, friend, fellow club member
or enroll in your state or provincial
safety training program.
 Always show a new operator how
to start and stop the vehicle. Indicate the correct riding positions
and, above all else, only allow him
to operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area — at least until he
is completely familiar with its operation. If there is a local snowmobile
operator's training course existing,
have him enroll.
 BRP recommends the operator has
at least 16 years old of age.
Performance
 The performance of some snowmobiles may significantly exceed
that of other snowmobiles you have
operated. Therefore, use by novice
or inexperienced operators is not
recommended.
 Snowmobiles are used in many areas and in many snow conditions.
Not all models perform the same in
similar conditions. Always consult
your snowmobile dealer when selecting the snowmobile model for
your particular needs and uses.
 Injury or death may result to the
snowmobile operator, passenger
or bystander if the snowmobile is
used in risky conditions which are
beyond the driver's, passenger's
or snowmobile's capabilities or intended use.
____________
Speed
 Speeding can be fatal. In many
cases, you cannot react or respond
quickly enough to the unexpected.
Always ride at a speed which is
suitable to the trail, weather conditions and your own ability. Know
your local rules. Speed limit may
be in effect and meant to be observed.
Riding
 Always keep right hand side of the
trail.
 Always keep a safe distance
from other snowmobiles and bystanders.
 Remember, promotional material
may show risky maneuvers performed by professional riders under
ideal and/or controlled conditions.
You should never attempt any such
risky maneuvers if they are beyond
your level of riding ability.
 Never ride after consuming drugs or
alcohol or if you feel tired or ill. Operate your snowmobile prudently.
 Your snowmobile is not designed to
be operated on public streets, roads
or highways.
 Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but because of
reduced visibility, be extra cautious.
Avoid unfamiliar terrain and be sure
your lights are working. Always carry a flashlight and spare light bulbs.
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________

 Nature is wonderful but don't let it
distract your attention from driving.
If you want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop your snowmobile on the side of the trail so that
you don't become a hazard to others.
 Fences represent a very serious
threat for both you and your snowmobile. Give a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
 Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious accidents.
 Always wear an approved safety
helmet, eye protection and a face
shield. This also applies to your
passenger.
 Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such as
avalanche and other natural or man
made hazards or obstacles.
 Avoid road traveling. If you must
do so, and it is permitted, reduce
speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn on paving.
When crossing a road, make a full
stop, then look carefully in both directions before crossing at a 90° angle. Be wary of parked vehicles.
 Tailgating another snowmobile
should be avoided. If the snowmobile in front of you slows for any
reason, its driver and passenger
could be harmed through your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping
distance between you and the
snowmobile in front of you. Depending on the terrain condition,
stopping may require a little more
space than you think. Play it safe.
Be prepared to use evasive driving.
10
___________
 Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be hazardous.
You could run out of fuel, have an
accident, or damage your snowmobile. Remember, your snowmobile
is capable of traveling further in half
an hour than you may be able to
walk in a day. Use the “buddy system”. Always ride with a friend or
member of your snowmobile club.
Even then, tell someone where you
are going and the approximate time
you plan to return.
 Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate and
freezes over in winter. This ice is
usually glare ice. Attempting to
turn or brake on this surface could
cause your vehicle to spin out of
control. Never brake or attempt
speeding or turning on glare ice. If
you do happen to travel over such
a condition, reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.
 Never “jump” with your snowmobile. This should be left to professional stunt men. Don't show off.
Be responsible.
 While on safari, do not “gun” the
throttle. Snow and ice can be
thrown back into the path of a
following snowmobile. In addition,
when “gunning” the throttle, the
vehicle digs into and leaves an irregular snow surface for others.
 Safaris are both fun and enjoyable
but don't show off or overtake
others in the group. A less experienced operator might try to do the
same as you and fail. When riding
with others, limit your abilities to
the experience of others.
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
Operation
 Always make a pre-start inspection
BEFORE you turn on the ignition.
 In an emergency, the snowmobile
engine can be stopped by pressing down on the engine cut-out
switch, pulling the tether cord cap
(DESSTM key) or turning off the ignition switch key.
 Throttle mechanism should be
checked for free movement and
return to idle position before starting engine.
 Always engage parking brake when
vehicle is not in use.
 Never run the engine in a nonventilated area and/or if vehicle is
left unattended.
 Never operate the engine without
belt guard securely installed or,
with hood or access/side panels
opened or removed. Never run the
engine without drive belt installed.
Running an unloaded engine such
as without drive belt or with track
raised, can be dangerous.
 Electric start models only: Never
charge or boost a battery while installed on snowmobile.
 Ensure the path behind is clear of
obstacles or bystanders before proceeding in reverse.
 Always remove the ignition key (if
applicable) or the tether cord cap
(DESS key) when vehicle is not in
operation in order to prevent accidental engine starting, to avoid
unauthorized use by children or others or theft.
 Raising the rear of your snowmobile
while the engine is running could
cause snow, ice or debris to be
thrown back at an observer. Never raise the rear of the vehicle while
the engine is running. To clear or inspect the track, stop the engine, tilt
the vehicle on its side and remove
blockage with a piece of wood or
branch. Never allow anyone near a
rotating snowmobile track.
Maintenance
 Know your snowmobile and treat
it with the respect and care due of
any power driven machine. Common sense, proper handling and
routine maintenance will result in
safer and enjoyable use.
 Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. Unless otherwise specified, engine should be
turned OFF and cold for all lubrication, adjustment and maintenance
procedures.
 Never have the engine running
while the hood or access/side
panels are opened. Even at idle,
a snowmobile engine is turning
around 1800 RPM. Always turn off
the engine before opening the hood
and/or side panels for any reason.
 Never remove any original equipment from your snowmobile. Each
vehicle has many built in safety features. Such features include various guards and consoles, plus reflective materials and warning labels.
____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
11
 A poorly maintained snowmobile
itself can be a potential hazard. Excessively worn components could
render the vehicle completely inoperative. Keep the snowmobile
in good working condition at all
times. Follow your pre-operation
check, weekly, monthly and annually routine maintenance and
lubrication procedures as detailed
in this guide. Consult a snowmobile dealer or acquire a shop manual
and proper tools and equipment if
other repairs or service is required.
 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.
 Always wear a DOT approved helmet 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 uncomfortable or insecure for any reason,
don‘t wait, tell the driver to slow
down or stop.
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 differential pressure condition is noticed
(whistling sound heard when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle
inspected and/or repaired before
further operation. Do not overfill
or top off the fuel tank before placing the vehicle in a warm area.
As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow. Always
wipe off any fuel spillage from the
vehicle. Periodically verify fuel system.
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.
12
___________
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
LAWS AND REGULATIONS
 Know your local laws.
Federal, state, provincial and local government agencies have enacted laws
and regulations pertaining to the safe
use and operation of snowmobiles. It
is your responsibility as a snowmobiler
to learn and obey these laws and regulations. Respect and observance will
result in safer snowmobiling for all.
Be aware of the liability property damages and insurance laws regarding
your equipment.
____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
13
RIDING THE VEHICLE
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 demanding task. Have an enjoyable and safe
ride.
Principle of Operation
Propulsion
Depressing throttle lever increases
engine RPM causing the drive pulley
to engage. Depending on models engine RPM must be between 2500 and
4200 before drive pulley engagement
will occur.
Outer sheave of drive pulley moves
toward inner sheave, forcing the drive
belt to move upward on the drive
pulley and simultaneously forcing the
sheaves apart on the driven pulley.
The driven pulley senses the load on
the track and limits the belt movement. The result is an optimized
speed ratio between engine RPM and
the speed of the vehicle at any time.
 WARNING
Never operate engine without belt
guard securely installed or, with
hood or access/side panels opened
or removed.
Power is transferred to the track
through the chaincase or gearbox
and drive axle.
 WARNING
Always use a wide-base snowmobile mechanical stand to properly
support vehicle during any track
verification.
Slowly accelerate
engine in order to rotate track at
very low speed when it is not on
ground.
14
___________
Turning
Handlebar controls the steering of the
vehicle. As the handlebar is rotated to
right or left, the skis are turned right or
left to steer the snowmobile.
Stopping
Before riding your snowmobile, you
should understand how to stop it.
This is done by releasing the throttle
and gradually depressing the brake
lever on the left side of the handlebar.
In an emergency, you may stop your
vehicle by pressing the engine cut-out
switch located near the throttle control
and applying the brake. Remember, a
snowmobile cannot “stop on a dime”.
Braking characteristics vary with deep
snow, packed snow or ice. If the track
is locked during hard braking, skidding
may result.
How to Ride
How to Dress
Proper snowmobile clothing should
be worn. It should be comfortable
and not too tight. Always check the
weather forecast before going on a
ride. Dress for the coldest weather
expected. Thermal underwear next
to the skin also provides a good insulation.
DOT approved helmets are recommended at all times. They provide
both warmth and reduce injury. A
stocking type cap, balaclava and face
mask should always be carried or
worn. Goggles or a face shield that
attach to the helmet are indispensable.
Hands should be protected by a pair
of snowmobile gloves or mitts which
have sufficient insulation and allow
use of thumbs and fingers for operation of controls.
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
Rubber bottom boots with either a nylon or a leather top, with removable
felt liners are best suited for snowmobiling.
You should keep yourself as dry as
possible when snowmobiling. When
you come indoors, take your snowmobile suit and boots off and make certain they dry properly.
Do not wear long scarfs and loose apparels that could get caught in moving
parts.
What to Bring
Every snowmobiler should carry at
least the following basic parts and
tools that can help him and others in
an emergency:
– this Operator's Guide
– spare spark plugs and wrench
– friction tape
– spare drive belt
– spare starter rope
– spare light bulbs
– tool kit (including at least pliers,
screwdriver, adjustable wrench)
– knife
– flashlight.
Include other items depending on the
length and time of your ride.
Generally, the riding position for best
balance and control is sitting. However, the posting, kneeling or standing
positions are also used under certain
conditions.
The novice driver should become familiar with the snowmobile through
practice on a level area at slow speeds
before venturing afield.
 WARNING
Do not attempt any maneuvers if
they are beyond your abilities.
Sitting
Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat is an ideal position
when operating the snowmobile over
familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and
hips should remain flexible to absorb
shocks.
mmo2006-003-001
Riding Position
Your riding position and balance are
the two basic principles of making
your snowmobile go where you want
it to. When turning on the side of a
hill, you and your passenger must be
ready to shift body weight to help it
turn in the desired direction. Driver
and passenger(s) must never attempt
this maneuvering by placing feet outside of the vehicle. Experience will
teach you how much lean to put into turns at different speeds and how
much you will have to lean into a slope
to maintain proper balance.
____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
15
Posting
A semi-sitting position with the body
off the seat and the feet under the
body in a sort of squatting posture,
thus allowing the legs to absorb the
shocks when traveling over uneven
terrain. Avoid abrupt stops.
Standing
Place both feet on the running boards.
Knees should be flexed to absorb the
shock from surface bumps. This is
an effective position to see better and
to shift weight as conditions dictate.
Avoid abrupt stop.
mmo2006-003-002
mmo2006-003-004
Kneeling
This position is achieved by placing
one foot firmly on the running board
and the opposite knee on the seat.
Avoid abrupt stops.
mmo2006-003-003
Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed for
an operator only, others can allow one
passenger only, and others can allow
up to two passengers. Refer to the
indications on the vehicles to know if
any particular snowmobile can accommodate passengers or not, and if so,
how many. Always respect those indications. Overloading is dangerous because snowmobiles are not designed
for it.
Even when passengers are allowed,
you must make sure that the persons
who would like to become passengers
are physically fit for snowmobiling.
 WARNING
Any passenger must be able to
firmly lay his feet on the footrests
and keep his hands on the grab
handles or seat strap at all times
when seated. Respecting those
physical criteria is important to
ensure that the passenger is stable
and to reduce the risks of ejection.
16
___________
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
On snowmobiles allowing two passengers, if you have an adult and a
child for passenger, BRP recommends
that the child sits in the center location. This allows an adult sitting in the
rear seat to keep a visual contact with
the child and hold him if necessary.
In addition, the child is best protected
against the wind and cold temperature
if seated in the center location.
Each operator has a responsibility to
ensure the safety of his passengers
and should inform them of snowmobiling basics.
 WARNING
– Passengers must only sit on
designated passenger seats.
Never allow anyone to sit between the handlebar and the
operator.
– Each passenger seat must have
a strap or grab handles and
meet SSCC standards.
– Passengers and operators must
always wear DOT approved helmets and warm clothing appropriate for snowmobiling. Make
sure that no skin is exposed.
– Once underway, if a passenger
feels uncomfortable or unsecure for any reason, he must
not wait, and tell the driver to
slow-down or stop.
Riding with passengers on board is
different than riding alone. The operator has the benefit of knowing what
will be the next maneuver and is able
to prepare himself accordingly. The
operator also benefits from the support of his grip on the handlebar. In
contrast, the passengers have to rely on the operator’s careful and safe
operation of the vehicle. In addition,
“body english” is limited with passengers, and the operator can sometimes
see more of the trail ahead than the
passengers. Therefore, smooth starting and stopping are required with
passengers, and the operator must
slow down. The operator must also
warn passengers of side hills, bumps,
branches, etc. An unforeseen bump
can leave you passenger-less. Remind your passengers to lean into
the turn with you, without causing
the vehicle to topple. Be extremely
careful, go more slowly and check the
passengers frequently.
 WARNING
When riding with a passenger:
– Braking ability and steering
control are reduced. Decrease
speed and allow extra space to
maneuver.
– Adjust suspension according to
weight.
For complete information on how
to adjust the suspension, please refer to the section of this Operator’s
Guide entitled SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENTS.
Use extra caution and go even more
slowly with young passengers. Check
frequently to make certain the child
has a firm grip and is properly positioned with his feet on the running
boards.
____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
17
Terrain/Riding Variations
Groomed Trail
On a maintained trail, sitting is the
most preferred riding position. Do not
race and, above all, keep to the right
hand side of the trail. Be prepared
for the unexpected. Observe all trail
signs. Do not zigzag from one side of
the trail to the other.
Ungroomed Trail
Unless there has been a fresh snowfall you can expect “washboard” and
snowdrift conditions. Taken at excessive speeds, such conditions can be
physically harmful. Slow down. Hold
on the handlebar and assume a posting position. Feet should be under the
body assuming a crouched position to
absorb any jarring effect. On longer
stretches of “washboard” trails, the
kneeling position of one knee on the
seat can be adopted. This provides
a certain amount of comfort, while at
the same time keeps the body loose
and capable of vehicle control. Beware of hidden rocks or tree stumps
partially hidden by a recent snowfall.
18
___________
Deep Snow
In deep “powder” snow, your vehicle
could begin to “bog” down. If this occurs, turn in as wide an arc as possible and look for a firmer base. If you
do get “bogged”, and it happens to
everyone, do not spin your track as
this makes the vehicle sink deeper. Instead, turn the engine off, get off and
move the back of the vehicle onto new
snow. Then tramp a clear path ahead
of the vehicle. A few feet will generally suffice. Restart the engine. Assume the standing position and rock
the vehicle gently as you steadily and
slowly apply the throttle. Depending
on whether the front or rear end of
the vehicle is sinking, your feet should
be placed on the opposing end of the
running boards. Never place foreign
material beneath the track for support.
Do not allow anyone to stand in front
of, or to the rear of, the snowmobile
with the engine running. Stay away
from the track. Personal injury will result if contact is made with the revolving track.
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
Frozen Water
Traveling frozen lakes and rivers can
be fatal. Avoid waterways. If you
are in an unfamiliar area, ask the local authorities or residents about the
ice condition, inlets, outlets, springs,
fast moving currents or other hazards. Never attempt to operate your
snowmobile on ice that may be too
weak to support you and the vehicle.
Operating a snowmobile on ice or icy
surfaces can be very dangerous if you
do not observe certain precautions.
The very nature of ice is foreign to
good control of a snowmobile or any
vehicle. Traction for starting, turning
or stopping is much less than that
on snow. Thus, these distances can
be multiplied manyfold. Steering is
minimal, and uncontrolled spins are
an ever present danger. When operating on ice, drive slowly with caution.
Allow yourself plenty of room for
stopping and turning. This is especially true at night.
Hard Packed Snow
Don't underestimate hard packed
snow. It can be difficult to negotiate
as both skis and track do not have as
much traction. Best advice is to slow
down and avoid rapid acceleration,
turning or braking.
Uphill
There are two types of hills you can encounter — the open hill on which there
are few trees, cliffs or other obstacles,
and a hill that can only be climbed directly. On an open hill, the approach
is to climb it by side hilling or slaloming. Approach at an angle. Adopt a
kneeling position. Keep your weight
on the uphill side at all times. Maintain a steady, safe speed. Continue
as far as you can in this direction, then
switch to an opposite hill angle and riding position.
A direct climb could present problems.
Choose the standing position, accelerate before you start the climb and
then reduce throttle pressure to prevent track slippage.
In either case, vehicle speed should
be as fast as the incline demands.
Always slow down as you reach the
crest. If you cannot proceed further,
don't spin your track. Turn the engine off, free the skis by pulling them
out and downhill, place the rear of the
snowmobile uphill restart the engine
and ease it out with slow even throttle
pressure. Position yourself to avoid
tipping over, then descend.
Downhill
Downhill driving requires that you
have full control of your vehicle at all
times. On steeper hills, keep your
center of gravity low and both hands
on the handlebar. Maintain slight
throttle pressure and allow the machine to run downhill with the engine
operating. If a higher than safe speed
is reached, slow down by braking but
apply the brake with frequent light
pressure. Never jam the brake and
lock the track.
Side Hill
When crossing a side hill or traversing up or downhill, certain procedures
must be followed. All riders should
lean towards the slope as required
for stability. The preferred operating
positions are the kneeling position,
with the knee of the down hill leg
on the seat and the foot of the uphill leg on the running board, or the
posting position. Be prepared to shift
your weight quickly as needed. Side
hills and steep slopes are not recommended for a beginner or a novice
snowmobiler.
____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
19
Slush
Slush should be avoided at all times.
Always check for slush before starting across any lake or river. If dark
spots appear in your tracks, get off the
ice immediately. Ice and water can be
thrown rearward into the path of a following snowmobile. Getting a vehicle
out of a slush area is strenuous and in
some cases, impossible.
Fog or Whiteouts
On land or water, fog or visibilitylimiting snow can form. If you have
to proceed into the fog or heavy snow,
do so slowly with your lights on and
watch intently for hazards. If you are
not sure of your way, do not proceed.
Keep a safe distance behind other
snowmobilers to improve visibility
and reaction time.
Unfamiliar Territory
Whenever you enter an area that is
new to you, drive with extreme caution. Go slow enough to recognize
potential hazards such as fences or
fence posts, brooks crossing your
path, rocks, sudden dips, guy wires
and countless other obstacles which
could result in a termination of your
snowmobile ride. Even when following existing tracks, be cautious.
Travel at a speed so you can see what
is around the next bend or over the
top of the hill.
Bright Sunshine
Bright sunny days can considerably reduce your vision. The glare from sun
and snow may blind you to the extent that you cannot easily distinguish
ravines, ditches or other obstacles.
Goggles with colored lenses should
always be worn under these conditions.
20
___________
Unseen Obstruction
There may be obstructions hidden
beneath the snow. Driving off established trails and in the woods requires
reduced speed and increased vigilance. Driving too fast in an area can
make even minor obstacles very hazardous. Even hitting a small rock or
stump could throw your snowmobile out of control and cause injury to
its riders. Stay on established trails
to reduce your exposure to hazards.
Be safe, slow down and enjoy the
scenery.
Hidden Wires
Always be on the lookout for hidden
wires, especially in areas that may
have been farmed at one time or another. Too many accidents have been
caused by running into wires in the
fields, guy wires next to poles and
roads, and into chains and wires used
as road closures. Slow speeds are a
must.
Obstacles and Jumping
Unplanned jumps of snowdrifts,
snowplow ridges, culverts or indistinguishable objects can be dangerous.
You can avoid them by wearing the
proper color lenses or face shields and
by operating at a lower speed.
Jumping a snowmobile is an unsafe
and dangerous practice. However, if
the trail does suddenly drop away from
you, crouch (stand) towards the rear
of the vehicle and keep the skis up
and straight ahead. Apply partial throttle and brace yourself for the impact.
Knees must be flexed to act as shock
absorbers.
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
Turning
Depending on terrain conditions, there
are two preferred ways to turn or corner a snowmobile. For most snow
surfaces, “body english” is the key to
turning. Leaning towards the inside of
the turn and positioning body weight
on the inside foot will create a “banking” condition beneath the track. By
adopting this position and positioning
yourself as far forward as possible,
weight will be transferred to the inside
ski.
On occasion, you will find that the only way to turn the vehicle about in
deep snow is to pull the snowmobile
around. Do not over-exert yourself.
Get assistance. Remember to always
lift using your legs as opposed to your
back.
mmo2006-003-005
Road Crossing
In some cases, you will be approaching the road from a ditch or snowbank.
Choose a place where you know you
can climb without difficulty. Use the
standing position and proceed with only as much speed needed to crest the
bank. Stop completely at the top of
the bank and wait for all traffic to clear.
Judge the drop to the roadway. Cross
the road at a 90° angle. If you encounter another snowbank on the opposite side, position your feet near the
rear of the vehicle. Remember, your
snowmobile is not designed to operate on bare pavement and steering on
this type of surface is more difficult.
Railroad Crossing
Never ride on railroad tracks. It is illegal. Railroad tracks and railroad rightsof-way are private property. A snowmobile is no match for a train. When
crossing a railroad track, stop, look and
listen.
Night Rides
The amount of natural and artificial
light at a given time can effect your
ability to see or to be seen. Nighttime
snowmobiling is delightful. It can be
a unique experience if you acknowledge your reduced visibility. Before
you start, make certain your lights
are clean and work properly. Drive
at speeds that will allow you to stop
in time when you see an unknown
or dangerous object ahead. Stay on
established trails and never operate in
unfamiliar territory. Avoid rivers and
lakes. Guy wires, barbed wire fences,
cabled road entrances and other objects such as tree limbs are difficult
to see at night. Never drive alone.
Always carry a flashlight. Keep away
from residential areas and respect the
right of others to sleep.
Safari Riding
Before starting out, designate a “trail
boss” to lead the party and another
person to follow-up at the end of the
party. Ensure that all members of the
party are aware of the proposed route
and destination. Make certain that
you are carrying all necessary tools
and equipment and that you have
sufficient fuel to complete the trip.
Never overtake the trail boss or, for
that matter, any other snowmobile.
Use down-the-line hand signals to indicate hazards or intent of direction
change. Assist others whenever necessary.
____________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
21
It is always IMPORTANT to keep a
safe distance between each snowmobile. Always maintain a safe interval
and allow sufficient stopping distance.
Don't be a tailgater. Know the position
of the machine ahead.
Signals
If you intend to stop, raise either hand
straight above your head. A left turn is
indicated by extending your left hand
straight out in the proper direction.
For right turns, extend the left arm and
raise the hand to a vertical position so
it forms a right angle at the elbow. Every snowmobiler should relay any signal to the ones behind.
Trail Stops
Whenever possible, pull off the trail
when you stop. This will reduce the
hazard to other snowmobilers using
the trail.
Trails and Signs
Trail signs are used to control, direct
or regulate the use of snowmobiles on
trails. Become familiar with all signs
used in the area where you are snowmobiling.
Transporting and Towing
Follow transporting and towing instructions explained further in this
guide.

GENERAL
Wildlife compliments your snowmobiling day. Snowmobile tracks provide
firm ground over which animals can
travel from area to area. Do not violate this privilege by chasing or harassing wildlife. Fatigue and exhaustion
can lead to animal's death. Avoid areas posted for the protection or feeding of wildlife.
If you happen to be fortunate enough
to see an animal, stop your snowmobile and observe quietly.
The guidelines that we support are
not designed to limit your snowmobiling fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you can experience
only on a snowmobile! These guidelines will keep snowmobilers healthy,
happy and able to introduce others to
what they know and enjoy about their
favorite winter pastime. So, the next
time you hit the trails on a cool, crisp
and clear winter day, we ask you to remember that you are paving the way
for the future of our sport. Help us
lead it down the right path! From all
of us at BRP, thank you for doing your
share.
There is nothing more exhilarating
than snowmobiling. Venturing onto
snowmobile trails that criss-cross the
wild areas of the U.S. and Canada is
an exciting and healthy winter sport.
However, as the number of people using these recreational parks increases,
so does the potential for damage to
the environment. Abuse of land, facilities and resources inevitably leads
to restrictions and closures of both
private and public land.
In essence, the greatest threat to our
sport, is all around us. Which leaves
us with one logical choice. When we
snowmobile, we must always ride responsibly.
28
The vast majority respect the law and
the environment. Each of us must set
an example for those who are new to
the sport, young and old alike.
It is in every one's best interest to
tread lightly into our recreational areas.
Because, in the long run, to protect the
sport we must preserve the environment.
Recognizing the importance of this issue and the need for snowmobilers to
do their share in preserving areas that
make it possible to enjoy our sport,
BRP has developed the “Light Treading is Smart Sledding” campaign for
snowmobilers.
Light Treading refers to more than the
thread of our tracks. It's a statement
of concern, respect and willingness to
take the lead and take action. It applies to the environment in general, its
proper care and maintenance, its natural inhabitants and all enthusiasts and
the public at large who enjoy the great
outdoors. With this theme, we invite
all snowmobilers to remember that respecting the environment is not only
critical to the future of our industry but
to future generations.
Light Treading in no way suggests you
should curb your appetite for snowmobiling fun! It simply means tread with
respect!
______________________
JUST WHAT IS LIGHT TREADING?
The fundamental objective of Light
Treading is one of respect for where
and how you ride a snowmobile.
You're a light treader when you follow
the principles below.
Become informed. Obtain maps,
regulations and other information
from the Forest Service or from other
public land agencies. Learn the rules
and follow them and that goes for
speed limits, too!
Avoid running over young trees,
shrubs, and grasses and don't cut
wood. On flatlands or areas where
trail riding is popular, it's important to
ride only where authorized. Remember, there is a link between protecting
your environment and your own safety.
Respect wildlife and be particularly
sensitive of animals that are rearing
young or suffering from food shortage. Stress can sap scarce energy reserves. Refrain from riding in areas
where only animals are intended to
tread!
Obey gate closures and regulatory
signs and remember, light treaders
don't litter!
Stay out of wilderness areas. They're
closed to all vehicles. Know where
the boundaries are.
Obtain permission to travel across
private land. Respect the rights of
landowners and other people's privacy. Remember, snowmobile technology has lowered the noise factor
considerably, but you still shouldn't
rev your engines where quiet “is the
order of the day”.
_____________________
29
WHY IS LIGHT TREADING SMART
Snowmobilers know all too well the
efforts that have been made throughout the sport's history to enjoy access
to areas where people can snowmobile safely and responsibly. This effort
continues today, as strong as ever.
Respecting the areas where we ride...
wherever they may be... is the only way to ensure their future enjoyment. That's one major reason why
we know you'll agree that Light Treading Is Smart Sledding! And there are
more.
Enjoying the opportunity to see winter
and all its natural majestic wonders,
is an experience cherished by snowmobilers. Light Treading will preserve
this opportunity and will make it possible for us to expose others to the
beauty of winter and the unique thrill
of our sport! Light Treading will help
our sport to grow!
Finally, Light Treading is the sign of a
smart snowmobiler. You don't have to
leave big tracks or careen through a virgin forest to show you can ride. So
whether you're driving a high performance SKI-DOO, a sporty MX Z snowmobile or any other make or model,
show you know what you're doing.
Show you know how to send snow flying and make tracks with a light touch!

DESS (Digitally Encoded
Security System) Key/
Cut-Out Switch
Liquid Cooled Models
On these models, the tether cord cap
(DESS key) is digitally encoded to provide you and your snowmobile with
the equivalent security of a conventional lock key and it shuts off the engine preventing snowmobile to runaway if the operator falls off the vehicle accidently.
The DESS key provided with your
snowmobile contains an electronic
chip which features a unique permanently memorized digital code. Your
authorized SKI-DOO dealer programs
this key in the ECM (Engine Control
Module) of your snowmobile to allow
engine operation above 3000 RPM if
and only if this unique code has been
read after engine starting.
If another DESS key is installed, the
engine will start but will not reach drive
pulley engagement speed to move vehicle.
Make sure the DESS key is free of dirt
or snow.

RECOMMENDED FUEL AND OIL
 WARNING
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline, available from most service stations or oxygenated fuel containing a maximum
total of 10% of ethanol or methanol
or both. The gasoline used must have
the following recommended minimum
octane number.
LOCATION
OCTANE NUMBER
Inside North
America
(87 (RON +
MON)/2) (1)
Outside North
America
(1)
92 RON
(1)
This is the minimum octane number
required, if not available, (91 (RON +
MON)/2) or 95 RON (outside North
America) can be used.
CAUTION: Never experiment with
other fuels or fuel ratios. The use
of unrecommended fuel can result
in snowmobile performance deterioration and damage to critical parts
in the fuel system and engine components. Do not mistake oil reservoir cap for fuel tank cap. Oil reservoir cap is identified OIL.
50
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 differential pressure condition is noticed
(whistling sound heard when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle
inspected and/or repaired before
further operation. Do not overfill or top off the fuel tank before
placing the vehicle in a warm area.
As temperature increases, fuel
expands and might overflow. Always wipe off any fuel spillage
from the vehicle. Periodically verify fuel system.
Fuel System Antifreeze
When using oxygenated fuel, additional gas line antifreeze or water
absorbing additives are not required
and should be not used.
When using non-oxygenated fuel, we
highly recommend the use of isopropyl base gas line antifreeze in a
proportion of 150 mL (5 U.S. oz) of
gas line antifreeze added to 40 liters
(10-1/2 U.S. gal) of gas.
This precaution is in order to reduce
the risk of frost buildup in carburetors/
throttle bodies which may lead, in certain cases, to high fuel consumption or
severe damage to engine.
NOTE: Use only methyl hydrate free
gas line antifreeze.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Engine
10-Hour Inspection
CAUTION: A break-in period of
10 operating hours — 500 km
(300 miles) — is required before
running the snowmobile at full
throttle.
During break-in period, maximum
throttle should not exceed 3/4 opening. However, brief full acceleration
and speed variations contribute to a
good break-in.
NOTE: The 10-hour inspection is at the
expense of the snowmobile owner.
As with any precision piece of mechanical equipment, we suggest that
after the first 10 hours of operation —
500 km (300 miles) — or 30 days after
the purchase, whichever comes first,
your snowmobile be checked by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. This inspection will also give you the opportunity
to discuss the unanswered questions
you may have encountered during the
first hours of operation.
CAUTION: Engine overheating,
continued wide open throttle runs
and prolonged cruising without
speed variations should be avoided, this can cause engine damage
during the break-in period.
550F and 600 Models
To assure additional protection during
the initial engine break-in, 500 mL
(18 imp. oz) of recommended injection oil should be added to fuel for the
first full filling of fuel tank. Have spark
plugs cleaned after engine break-in.
Belt
All Models
A new drive belt requires a break-in period of 50 km (30 miles). Avoid strong
acceleration/deceleration, pulling a
load or high speed cruising.

maximum safety in loading. Simple
as it may seem, never drive your
snowmobile onto a tilt bed trailer or
any other kind of trailer or vehicle.
Many serious accidents have resulted from driving up and over a trailer.
Anchor your vehicle securely, front
and rear, even on short hauls. Be
certain all equipment is securely fastened. Cover your snowmobile when
trailering to prevent road grime from
causing damage.
Be certain your trailer meets state or
provincial requirements. Ensure the
hitch and safety chains are secure and
the brake, turn indicators and clearance lights all function.

SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENTS
Snowmobile handling and comfort depends on suspension adjustments.
Choice of suspension adjustments
vary with carrying load, driver's
weight, personal preference, riding
speed and field condition.
NOTE: Some adjustments may not apply to your snowmobile. Use special
keys in tool kit.
The following is to fine-tune suspension.
The best way to set up a suspension,
is to start from factory settings, then
customize each adjustment one at a
time. Adjustments 2 through 6 are
interrelated. It may be necessary to
readjust center spring after adjusting
front springs for instance. Test run
the snowmobile under the same conditions; trail, speed, snow, driver riding
position, etc. Change one adjustment
and retest. Proceed methodically until you are satisfied.

PROBLEM
CORRECTIVE MEASURES
Front suspension
wandering
– Check ski alignment and camber angle adjustment.
– See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
– Reduce ski ground pressure.
• Reduce front suspension spring preload.
• Increase center spring preload.
• Reduce rear spring preload.
Snowmobile seems
unstable and seems to
pivot around its center
– Reduce rear suspension front arm pressure.
• Reduce center spring preload.
• Increase rear spring preload.
• Increase front suspension spring preload.
Steering feels too
heavy
– Reduce ski ground pressure.
• Reduce front suspension spring preload.
• Increase center spring preload.
Rear of snowmobile
seems too stiff
– Reduce rear spring preload.
Rear of snowmobile
seems too soft
– Increase rear spring preload.
Rear suspension front
shock absorber is
frequently bottoming
– Lengthen stopper strap.
– Increase center spring preload.
Track spins too much at
start
– Lengthen stopper strap.
– Change driving position.
In Deep Snow
When operating the snowmobile in deep snow, it may be necessary to vary extension adjustment, stopper strap and/or riding position, to change the angle at
which the track rides on the snow. Operator's familiarity with the various adjustments as well as snow conditions will dictate the most efficient combination.

______________________
TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGINE OVERHEATING (fan cooled)
1. Engine is too hot, shut off the engine.
– Check for clogged air duct passages. Remove any foreign materials.
Check for proper fan belt condition and tension. See an authorized
SKI-DOO dealer.
ENGINE OVERHEATING (liquid cooled)
1. Engine overheating pilot lamp will light up if engine is too hot.
– Reduce snowmobile speed and run snowmobile in loose snow or stop engine immediately.
– Check for adequate coolant level. See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
FUEL FLOODED ENGINE
1. Never depress throttle while starting engine, even if flooded with gas.
– Install new spark plugs and restart engine.
REAR SUSPENSION SLIDER SHOE STICKING
1. Slider shoes are cooled and lubricated by snow. When riding at moderate
or high speed on a thin-snow-covered surface, slider shoes may stick on
metallic track guides.
– Run snowmobile on a surface covered by snow or drive snowmobile at very
slow speed.
– Have slider shoes inspected by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
ENGINE CRANKS BUT FAILS TO START
1. Ignition switch or engine cut-out switch is in OFF position or tether cord
cap (DESS key) away from its post.
– Place engine cut-out switch in the ON position (up) and install tether cord
cap (DESS key) on its post.
2. Mixture not rich enough to start cold engine.
– Check fuel tank level and check starting procedure, particularly use of the
choke.
3. Flooded engine (spark plug wet when removed).
– Do not choke. Remove wet spark plug, turn ignition switch or engine cutout switch to OFF position and crank engine several times. Install clean
dry spark plug. Start engine following usual starting procedure. If engine
continues to flood, see an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
4. No fuel to the engine (spark plug dry when removed).
– Check fuel tank level; check fuel filter; replace if clogged; check condition
of fuel and impulse lines and their connections. A failure of the fuel pump,
throttle body or carburetor has occurred. Contact an authorized SKI-DOO
dealer.
_____________________
69
ENGINE CRANKS BUT FAILS TO START (cont’d)
5. Spark plug/ignition (no spark).
– Remove spark plug(s), then reconnect to spark cap. Check that engine cutout switch is at the ON position (up) and the tether cord cap (DESS key)
on its post. Start engine with spark plug(s) grounded to engine away from
spark plug hole. If no spark appears, replace spark plug. If trouble persists,
contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
6. Engine compression.
– As the engine is pulled over with the rewind starter, “cycles” of resistance
should be felt as piston goes past top dead center (each piston on multicylinder engines). If no pulsating resistance is felt, it suggests a major loss
of compression. Contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
ENGINE LACKS ACCELERATION OR POWER
1. DESS did not read tether cord cap (DESS key) code. DESS pilot lamp
blinks once every 1.5 seconds. Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.
– Properly install tether cord cap (DESS key).
2. DESS has read a different tether cord cap (DESS key) code than the one
programmed. DESS pilot lamp blinks rapidly (3 times per second). Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.
– Install a tether cord cap (DESS key) for which this snowmobile was programmed.
3. Fouled or defective spark plug.
– Check item 5 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.
4. Lack of fuel to engine.
– Check item 4 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.
5. Carburetor adjustments.
– Contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
6. Drive belt worn too thin.
– If the drive belt has lost more than 3 mm (1/8 in) of its original width, it will
affect vehicle performance. Replace drive belt.
7. Drive and driven pulleys require servicing.
– Contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
8. Engine is overheating.
– On liquid cooled engines, check coolant level, pressure cap, thermostat and
for air locks in cooling system. On fan cooled engines, check fan belt and
its tension; clean cooling fins of engine; if overheating persists, contact an
authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
ENGINE BACKFIRES
1. DESS did not read tether cord cap (DESS key) code. DESS pilot lamp
blinks once every 1.5 seconds. Engine can not exceed 3000 RPM.
– Properly install tether cord cap (DESS key).

EPA Certified Engines
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed by
any snowmobile SI (spark ignition)
engine repair establishments or individual.
Engine Emissions Information
Manufacturer's Responsibility
Snowmobile manufacturers of snowmobile engines need to determine
the exhaust emission levels for each
engine horsepower family and certify
these engines with the United States
of America Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). An emissions control
information label, showing emission
levels and engine specifications, must
be placed on each vehicle at the time
of manufacture.
98
Dealer's Responsibility
When performing service on a certified SKI-DOO snowmobiles that carry
an emissions control information label,
adjustments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission
related component must be executed
in a manner that maintains emission
levels within the prescribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine
in any manner that would alter the
horsepower or allow emission levels
to exceed their predetermined factory
specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's
prescribed changes, such as altitude
adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to
have engine maintenance performed
to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and
should not allow anyone to modify the
engine in any manner that would alter
the horsepower or allow emissions
levels to exceed their predetermined
factory specifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All new SKI-DOO snowmobiles manufactured by BRP are certified to
the EPA as conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the
control of air pollution from new snowmobile engines. This certification is
contingent on certain adjustments
being set to factory standards. For
this reason, the factory procedure for
servicing the product must be strictly
followed and, whenever practicable,
returned to the original intent of the
design.
______________________
The responsibilities listed above are
general and in no way a complete listing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust emissions for snowmobile products. For more detailed information

Brake Fluid Level
CAUTION: Vehicle must be on a level surface before checking any fluid
levels.
Check brake fluid (DOT 4) in reservoir
for proper level. Add fluid (DOT 4) as
required.
CAUTION: Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container. Never use any other types of fluid.

NOTE: Before initial start-up, the oil
level may be higher than the full mark.
After first outing, oil level will decrease
as the upper oil cavity fills with oil.
To fill, remove filler plug from top of
gearbox. Refill as required using XP-S
synthetic chaincase oil (P/N 413 803

maintained when reinstalling.
Drive Belt Condition
A29D0FA
Inspect belt for cracks, fraying or
abnormal wear (uneven wear, wear
on one side, missing cogs, cracked
fabric). If abnormal wear is noted,
probable cause could be pulley misalignment, excessive RPM with frozen
track, fast starts without warm-up period, burred or rusty sheave, oil on
belt or distorted spare belt. Contact
an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
