BREAK-IN PERIOD

Break-inWith Bombardier-Rotax snowmobileengines, a break-in period is requiredbefore running the vehicle at full throt­tle. Engine manufacturer recommen­dation is 10 to 15 operating hours.Maximum throttle should not exceed3/4, however, brief full accelerationand speed variations contribute to agood break-in. Continued wide openthrottle accelerations, prolonged cruis­ing speeds, and lugging are detrimen­tal during the break-in period.

ONOTE: A new drive belt requiresa break-in period of 15-25 km (10­

15 miles).

10-Hour InspectionAs with any precision piece of mechan­ical equipement, we suggest that afterthe first 10 hours of operation or 30days after the purchase, whichevercomes first, that your vehicle be check­ed by your dealer. This inspection willgive you the opportunity to discuss theunanswered questions you may haveencountered during the first hours ofoperation.

The 10 hours inspection is at the ex­pense of the vehicle owner.

FUEL MIXING

Oil must be added to the gasoline inpre-measured amounts then both oiland gasoline should be thoroughlymixed together before fueling the tank.

Recommended GasolineUse regular leaded or unleaded gaso­line available from all service stations.

... CAUTION: Never experiment with.. different fuel or fuel ratios. Never

use naphtha, methanol, gasohol orsimilar products.

Recommended OilUse concentrated Bombardier snow­mobile oil available from your dealer.This type of oil has specially formu­lated oil bases to meet the lubricationrequirements of the Bombardier-Rotaxengine.

If Bombardier snowmobile oil is un­available, substitute with a high-quality2 cycle snowmobile oil. Seeoil manufac­turer recommendations on container .

... CAUTION: Never use outboard.. or straight mineral oils.

Fuel Mixture RatioThe importance of using the correctfuel mixture cannot be overstressed.An incorrect fuel ratio results in seriousengine damage. Recommended fuel ra­tio is 50/1 (40/1 during break-inad),

SI UNITS

500 mL oil to 25 liters = 50/1

IMPERIAL UNITS1 can 16 oz oil to 5 imp. gals = 50/1or1can 5CX) mL oil to 51/2 imp. gals= 50/1

U.S. UNITS

1 can 12 oz oil to 5 U.S. gals= 50/1

O NOTE: To facilitate fuel mixing oilshould be kept at room tempera­

ture.

Fuel Mixing ProcedureTo mix the gasoline and oil always usea separate clean container. Never mixdirectly in your snowmobile tank. Forbest results, acquire two containers,either plastic or metal. Draw from oneuntil empty then use the second one.

+WARNING: Gasoline is flamma­ble and explosive under certain

conditions. Always manipulate in awell ventilated area. Do not smoke orallow open flames or sparks in the vici­nity. If gasoline fumes are noticedwhile driving, the cause should be de­termined and corrected without delay.Never add fuel while the engine is run­ning. Avoid skin contact with fuel atbelow freezing temperatures.

1. Pour approximately one gallon ofgasoline into a clean container.

2. Add the full amount of oil.

- Loosen the brake switch lock nut.

- Holding brake lever at the lit posi-tion, unscrew the switch to light onor screw it in to put out the light.

Unscrew tolight

- Tighten the brake switch lock nutand recheck brake light operation.

Spark Plug(s)Disconnect the spark plug wirels) andremove the spark pluqts).

Check the condition of the pluqts).

• A brownish tip reflects ideal condi­tions. (Correct carburetor, sparkplug heat range; etc.).

• A black insulator tip indicates foulingcaused by: carburetor idle speedmixture and/or high speed mixturetoo rich, incorrect fuel mixture ratiowrong type of spark plug (heatrange) I or excessive idling.

• A light grey insulator tip indicates alean mixture caused by: carburetorhigh speed mixture adjusted toolean, wrong spark plug heat range,incorrect fuel mixture ratio, or aleaking seal or gasket.

... CAUTION: If spark plug condi­... tion is not ideal, contact your au­

thorized dealer.

Check spark plug gap using a wirefeeler gauge.

Reinstall pluqts) and connect wirets),

Track ConditionLift the rear of the vehicle and supportit off the ground. With the engine off,rotate the track by hand, and inspectcondition. If worn, cut or track fibersare exposed or missing or defective in­serts or guides are noted, contact yourdealer.

+WARNING: Do not operate asnowmobile with a cut, torn or

damaged track.

Track Tension and Alignment

Tension:Lift the rear of vehicle and support witha mechanical stand. Allow the slide toextend normally. Check the gap 13 mm(112") between the slider shoe and thebottom inside of the track. If the tracktension is too loose, the track will havea tendency to thump.

... CAUTION: Too much tension... will result in power loss and ex­

cessive stresses on suspension com­ponents.

If necessary to adjust. Loosen the rearidler wheel retaining screw and the ad­juster bolt lock nut; then loosen ortighten the adjuster bolts located onthe inner side of the rear idler wheels. Ifcorrect tension is unattainable. Con­tact your dealer.

loosen

O NOTE: Track tension and align­ment are inter-related. Do not ad­

just one without the other.

Alignment:Start the engine and accelerate slightlyso that track turns slowly. Check thatthe track is well centered; equal dis­tance on both sides between edges oftrack guides and slider shoes.

25

•WARNING: Before checkingtrackalignment, ensure that the track

is free of all particles which could bethrown out while track is rotating. Keephands, tools, feet and clothing clear oftrack. Ensure no-one isstanding in closeproximity to the vehicle.

To correct, stop the engine, loosen therear idler wheels retaining screws thenloosen the lock nuts and tighten theadjuster bolt on side where the slidershoe is the furthest to the track insertguides.

Tighten lock nuts and recheck thealignment. Ensure to retighten the idlerwheel retaining screws.

Suspension ConditionVisually inspect all suspension compo­nents including slider shoes, springs,wheels, etc ...

O NOTE: During normal driving,snow will act as a lubricant and

coolant for the slider shoes. Extensiveriding on ice or sanded snow, (not tomention dirt, asphalt, etc. never re­commended) will create excessive heatbuild-up and cause premature slidershoe wear.

26

Suspension AdjustmentThe suspension is adjustable, the frontadjustment for surface condition, therear for driver's weight.

Adjuster blocks

When the front adjuster blocks are atthe lowest elevation more weight isdistributed on the skis.

Weight on skis

At the highest position the weight istransferred to the track. The rear ad­juster blocks should be adjusted to suitthe driver's preference.

..CAUTION: Always turn the left... side adjuster blocks in a clock­

wise direction, the right side blocks in acounter-clockwise direction. Left andright adjuster blocks of each adjust­ment must always be set at the sameelevation.

Drive Pulley (roller squareshaft type)Inspect the Duralon bushing conditionby checking the free-play of the slidinghalf pulley. This is achieved by restrain­ing the inner half and checking if thesliding half moves in the direction ofthe arrows more than 3 mm (1/8"). Ifso, contact your dealer.
