NOTICE TO PARENTS

Review this guide with any user of this snowmobile.

Please take time with the children to review the instructions on its

safe and proper use, while paying attention to the on-product safety

labeling before allowing them to ride snowmobile.

Understand the controls and operation of the snowmobile, carefully

read the Operator’s Guide, pay attention to the on-product safety

labeling and review them with the children before allowing them to

ride.

It is important that you supervise the children at all times in order to

prevent serious injuries. It is at your discretion to allow unsupervised

use only if you should pre-determine that all children have the ability

strength and judgment to operate the snowmobile safely.

Do not allow children to ride snowmobile if they are younger than the

recommended age of 6 years (or weighing over 100 lbs) or if they do

not have the strength, skills or judgment required to operate the

ences the child. If available locally, enroll your children in a snowmo-

bile safety training program.

THIS GUIDE SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE SNOWMOBILE AT ITS

SAFETY

This guide uses the following symbols.

NOTE: Indicates supplementary information needed to fully com-

plete an instruction.

Children should only be allowed to use the snowmobile in the

presence or under the supervision of an adult.

Instruct children thoroughly as to the use of the snowmobile and en-

sure they are familiar with the snowmobile controls, area of use and

riding practices before allowing them to operate the snowmobile.

Use of snowmobile should be limited to daylight operation only,

in areas clear of obstacles and on adequate snow covered ter-

rain. Ensure children do not operate the snowmobile on frozen

bodies of water, or on snowmobile or ATV recreational trails or

near streets, roadways, driveways or sidewalks.

Make sure area is free of wire fencing, tree stumps or other hazards.

Always make sure children wear all appropriate protective cloth-

ing including an approved safety helmet.

Always keep the snowmobile well serviced and maintained. Respect

and comply with the manufacturer‘s recommended instructions as

to the maintenance, service and storage of the snowmobile.

Do not modify or alter the snowmobile and/or any component.

Ensure the hood is always closed and all guards are in place.

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 avoid-

ed, may result in minor or moderate injury. When used without

the safety alert symbol , potential hazard exists for property

damage only.

WARNING

not designed to exceed speeds of 13 km/h (8 MPH), nor to carry

SAFETY LABELING

Safety standards for snowmobiles have been adopted by the Snow-

mobile Safety and Certification Committee of which Bombardier is a

proud participating member. Assurance that your snowmobile meets

these standards is easily checked by locating the Certification Label

on a right vertical portion of the vehicle.

This label signifies that an independent testing laboratory has verified

compliance with the SSCC safety standards. Other important labels

on the vehicle are WARNING or CAUTION labels relating to mainte-

nance and/or snowmobile operation. Ensure all such labeling is re-

tained on the vehicle and its content is followed by vehicle operators.

Observe the Following Warnings:

Do not allow children to refuel the snowmobile or attempt any

repairs or servicing.

Securely attach the tether cord to the child‘s clothing eyelet prior

to starting the engine.

Ensure that children do not operate snowmobile on snowmobile

or ATV recreationals trails or near streets, roadways, driveways

or sidewalks. In most States and Provinces, it is considered an

illegal operation.

Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and

return to idle position before starting engine.

The snowmobile engine can be stopped by activating the engine

cut-out switch, pulling the tether cord or turning off the key.

Engine should be running only when chain guard is secured in

place. Never run the engine without drive chain installed. Run-

ning an unloaded engine can be dangerous.

Never run the engine when the track is raised off the ground or

with the hood opened or removed.

Do not stud the track. At speed it may cause the track to tear and

separate from vehicle posing a risk of severe injury or death.

Never run the engine in a non well-ventilated area and/or unattended.
