BREAK-IN PERIOD _ Engine With Bombardier-Rotax snowmobile engines, a break-in period is required before running the vehicle at full throttle. Engine's manufacturer recommendation is 10 to 15 operating hours. During this period, maximum throttle should not exceed 3/4, however, brief full acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in. Continued wide open throttle accelerations, prolonged cruising speeds, and lugging are detrimental during the break-in period. _ CAUTION: Remove and clean .

At certain temperatures, gasoline will expand and overflow. Always wipe off any gasoline spillage from the snowmobile.
PRE-START CHECK _ Check Points • ACTIVATE THE THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER SEVERAL TIMES to check that it operates easily and smoothly. The throttle control lever must return to idle position when released. • Check that the skis and the track are not frozen to the ground or snow surface and that steering operates freely. • Activate the brake control lever and make sure the brake fully applies before the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. • Check injection oil level.
STARTING PROCEDURE _ _ CAUTION: To avoid starter over.... heating, the cranking period should never exceed 30 seconds and a rest period should be observed between the cranking cycles to let starter cool down. Test throttle control lever. Check that the emergency cut-out switch is in the ON position. Release key immediately when engine has started. If engine does not start on first try, key must be turned fully back to OFF each time .

MAINTENANCE-------WARNING: Only perform such procedures as detailed in this • manual. It is recommended that dealer assistance be periodically obtained on other components/systems not covered in this manual. Unless otherwise specified, engine should be turned OFF for all lubrication and maintenance procedures. The following Maintenance Chart indicates regular servicing schedules to be performed by you or your servicing dealer.
Belt Guard Removal + WA RNING: Engine should be running only when belt guard is secured in place. 4. Slip slackened belt over the top edge of the sliding half. 1. Tilt the hood. 2. Pull out both retaining pins. 5. Slip the belt out from the drive pulley and remove completely from vehicle. Retaining pins 3. Lift and remove the belt guard assembly. Drive Belt Removal + WARNING: Never start or run engine without the drive belt installed. Running an unloaded engine is dangerous.. 1.
New Drive Belt When installing a new drive belt, breakin period of 25 km (15 miles) is strongly recommended. O NOTE: Always store a spare belt in a manner to allow its natural shape to be maintained.

When the front adjuster blocks are at the lowest elevation more weight is distributed on the skis. _ CAUTION: Too much tension .". will result in power loss and excessive stresses on suspension components. At the highest position the weight is transferred from the skis to the track. The rear adjuster blocks should be adjusted to suit the driver's preference. NOTE: For deep snow condition or hill climbing, it is recommended to place the front adjuster blocks on the highest position.
WARNING: Before checking track • alignment, ensure that the track is free of all particles which could be thrown out while track is rotating. Keep hands, tools, feet and clothing clear of track. Ensure no-one is standing in close proximity to the vehicle. To correct, stop the engine, loosen the rear idler wheels retaining screws then loosen the lock nuts and tighten the adjuster bolt on side where the slider shoe is the farthest to the track insert guides. Tighten lock nuts and recheck the alignment.
The handlebar should also be horizontal when the skis are pointed toward the front. Engine type * To adjust: Loosen the lock nuts of the shortest tie rod. Turn the tie rod manually until the handlebar is horizontal. Retighten the, lock nuts firmly . 377 FC 21 (15) 447 FC 23 (17) 532 LC 21 (15) Torque N-m (Ibf-ftl WARNING: The ball joint socket • must run parallel with the steering arm. The socket must be restrained when tightening the tie rod end lock nuts.
--_._---- Engine Mount Nuts Check the engine mount nuts for tightness. Retighten if necessary. Carburetor Adjustment ~ CAUTION: Never operate your . " snowmobile with the air intake silencer disconnected. Serious engine damage will occur if this notice is disregarded. A) Air Screw Adjustment Completely close the air screw (until a slight reseating resistance is felt) then back off screw: 1 1/2 turn.
Cooling System TOP VIEW (Liquid cooled model) Check condition and tightness of hoses and clamps. Using a hydrometer check that the anti-freeze solution is strong enough for the temperature in which the vehicle is operated. NOTE: Should the coolant temperature raise above recommended range 50°C-95°C (120 0 - 2 0 0 ° F l , hose off grime from the heat exchanger (underneath the frame above the track). O 7.
Bulb Replacement housings (8 circuits) are free inside of cab. Do not connect these housings together. Electrical problem will occur. If the headlamp bulb is burnt, tilt hood, unplug the connector from the headlamp. Remove the rubber boot and unfasten bulb retainer clips. Detach the bulb and replace. If taillight bulb is burnt, expose the bulb by removing the red plastic lens. To remove, unfasten the two (2) screws. WARNING: Always check light operation after bulb replacement.
_ CAUTION: To prevent track dam.... age, temperature in the storage area must not exceed 38°C (100°F). WARNING: Never drain or refill • the cooling system when engine is hot. To drain cooling system: - Use a length of hose long enough to drain coolant into a container lower than engine. - Remove the engine coolant hose from water pump. - Connect "drain hose" onto water pump. - Put both hose ends into the container.
mature freezing. Always use ethyleneglycol antifreeze containing corrosion inhibitors specifically recommended for aluminum engines. To refill cooling system: - Remove "drain hose" and reinstall initial one. - Put back the rear of vehicle on the ground. - Refill coolant tank slowly until coolant overfills at bleed hole. - Reinstall bleed screw. - Continue to pour coolant in the tank until level reaches 25 mm (1 in) below filler neck.
12. Reinstall the spark plugs and the inlet primer hose. Do not run engine during storage period. Fuel Tank and Carburetor Remove the cap then using a syphon, remove the gasoline from tank . WARNING: Gasoline is flamma• .ble and explosive under certain conditions. Always manipulate in a well ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. 2. Remove the battery vent tube from the vent hole. 3. Lift out the battery.
O NOTE: To prevent battery from discharging, store it on a wooden shelf away from moisture. A stored battery must be recharged at least every 40 days. ~ Chassis CAUTION: If for some reason the . . snowmobile has to be stored outside it is necessary to cover it with an opaque tarpaulin. This caution will prevent the sun rays and the grime from affecting the plastic components and the vehicle finish. Clean the vehicle thoroughly, removing all dirt and grease accumulation.
