몇SAFETY MEASURES

Observe the Following Warnings:

몇For vehicles with a parking brake, always engage brake when ve-

hicle is not in use.

몇Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement before

starting engine.

몇In an emergency, the snowmobile engine can be stopped by acti-

vating the emergency cut-out button, pulling the tether cord or

turning off the key.

몇Engine should be running only when guard is secured in place.

Never run the engine without drive belt installed. Running an un-

loaded engine such as without drive belt or with track raised, can

prove to be dangerous.

몇Never run the engine with the hood opened or removed.

몇Maintain your snowmobile in top mechanical condition at all times.

몇Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets,

roads or highways. In most States and Provinces, it is considered

an illegal operation.

몇Electric start models only: Never charge or boost a battery while

installed on snowmobile.

몇Do not lubricate throttle and/or brake cables and housings.

몇Only perform procedures as detailed in this guide. Unless other-

wise specified, engine should be turned OFF and cold for all lubri-

cation, adjustment and maintenance procedures.

몇Some snowmobiles are designed for the driver only and no provi-

sions have been made for a passenger.

몇The performance of this snowmobile may significantly exceed that

of other snowmobiles you have operated. Therefore, use by nov-

ice or inexperienced operators is not recommended.

몇The engine and components used in a particular model should not

be used on other models. Use of Rotax®snowmobile engines in

other than SKI-DOO snowmobiles is not recommended or autho-

rized by Bombardier Inc.

몇Most components of this snowmobile are built with parts dimen-

sioned in the metric system. Most fasteners are metric and must

not be replaced by customary fasteners or vice versa

몇Do not stud the track.

몇Reverse models only: These snowmobiles are capable of a fast

reverse. Always remain seated and apply the brake before shifting.

Come to a complete stop before pressing the reverse button. En-

sure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders. Fast re-

verse while turning could result in loss of stability.
