Your dealer is committed to your satisfaction.
He has taken train- ing to perform the initial set-up and inspection of your snowmobile as well as completed the final adjustment required to suit your spe- cific weight and riding environment before you took possession.
Page 6 15 Mechanical Fuel Level Gauge Page 7 Preseason Preparation 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. Study your Operator's Guide paying particular attention to cautions and warnings.
Join your local snowmobile club: its so- cial activities and trail systems are planned for both fun and safety. Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer, friend, fel- low club member or enroll in your state or provincial safety training program. Page 12 Riding Always keep right hand side of the trail. Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and by- standers. You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they are beyond your level of riding ability.
Page 13 Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be haz- ardous. 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.
Page 14 Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before proceeding in reverse. Do not leave your keys in the ignition switch, it is an invitation to thieves and a danger to young children.
Raising the rear of your snowmobile while the engine is running could cause snow, ice or debris to be thrown back at an observer. Page 15 Fuel Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Always work in a well-venti- lated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Open cap slowly. Federal, state, provincial and local government agencies have enact- ed 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 re- sult in safer snowmobiling for all.
Have an enjoyable and safe ride. 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. Include other items depending on the length and time of your ride.
Riding Position Your riding position and balance are the two basic principles of mak- ing your snowmobile go where you want it to. Page 20 Sitting Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat is an ideal po- sition when operating the snowmobile over familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and hips should remain flexible to absorb shocks. Page 21 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. Page 22 Kneeling This position is achieved by placing one foot firmly on the running board and the opposite knee on the seat. 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. Page 24 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. Use extra caution and go even more slowly with young passengers. Check frequently to make certain the child has a firm grip and is prop- erly positioned with his feet on the running boards. Page 26 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. Page 27 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.
Page 28 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. Unseen Obstruction There may be obstructions hidden beneath the snow. Page 29 Turning Depending on terrain conditions, there are two preferred ways to turn or corner a snowmobile.
Page 30 Railroad Crossing Never ride on railroad tracks. It is illegal. Railroad tracks and railroad rights-of-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.
Page Transporting And Towing Trails and Signs Trail signs are used to control, direct or regulate the use of snowmo- biles 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. Using more positive carbide ski runners and traction enhancing products on your snowmobile will change its behavior, particularly in terms of manoeuvrability, acceleration, and braking.
Studding the track gives a better grip on packed snow and ice, but has no noticeable effect on soft snow. Page 33 1 Oversteering In certain conditions, using more positive carbide ski runners without studding the track could make the snowmobile prone to oversteer- ing, see illustration.
Page 34 2 Understeering In certain conditions, the use of studs could make the snowmobile prone to understeering if the skis are not equipped with more posi- tive carbide runners, see illustration. Page 35 Acceleration Studding the track will allow your sled to accelerate better on packed snow and ice but will have no noticeable effect on soft snow. This can cause sudden variations in traction under certain conditions.
Page 36 Effects of Studding on the Life of the Snowmobile The use of traction enhancing products can increase the load and the stress on certain snowmobile components, as well as the vibra- tion level. This can cause premature wear on parts such as belts, brake linings, bearings, chain, and chaincase sprocket, and shorten track life. Stud size 2. Penetration range 6. Track lug height 4.
Approved tracks can be identified by a stud symbol see illustration molded into the track surface. Look for any defects, such as: — perforations in the track — tears in the track particularly around traction holes — Page Safety Labeling Ensure all such labeling is retained on the vehicle and its content is followed by vehicle operator and passenger.
If missing or damaged, the decals can be replaced free of charge. Please read the following instructions carefully before operating this snowmobile. 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. Page 55 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. 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. Obtain maps, regulations and other information from the Forest Service or from other public land agencies.
You don't have to leave big tracks or careen through a virgin forest to show you can ride.
