SAFETY INFORMATION
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride to detect potential prob-
lems during operation. The pre-ride inspection can help you monitor
wear and deterioration before they become a problem. Correct any
problems that you discover to reduce the risk of an accident or a
malfunction.
Before Starting the Engiine
1. Remove snow and ice from body including lights, seat, footrests,
controls and instruments.
2. Remove packed snow and ice from the rear suspension using the
wrench tool stored on the drive belt guard.
3. Verify that air silencer prefilter is free of snow.
4. Verify that skis and steering operate freely. Check corresponding
action of skis versus handlebar.
5. Check fuel and injection oil for levels and leaks. Replenish if neces-
sary and in case of any leaks; you should seek service from an au-
thorized BRP snowmobile dealer, repair shop, or person of your
own choosing for maintenance, repair, or replacement.
6. All storage compartments must be properly latched and they must
not contain any heavy or breakable objects. Hood and side panels
must be also properly latched.
7. Activate the throttle control lever several times to check that it oper-
ates easily and smoothly. It must return to idle position when
released.
8. Activate the brake lever and make sure the brake fully applies be-
fore the brake control lever touches the handlebar grip. It must fully
return when released.
9. Apply parking brake and check if it operates properly. Leave park-
ing brake applied.
10. Inspect drive belt condition and height. Refer to drive belt in main-
tenance procedures.
After Engiine is Started
For proper engine starting procedure, refer to the appropriate Engine
Starting Procedure.
1. Check headlights high beam and low beam, taillight, stop light and
pilot lamps operation.
NOTE:
You may need to detach tether cord from your clothes to check lights.
In such a case, attach cord as soon as you get back at the controls of
the snowmobile.
2. Check the engine cut-off switch (by pulling tether cord cap) and
emergency engine stop switch operation.
3. Release parking brake.
4. Refer to Vehicle warm up and follow instructions.

PRIMARY CONTROLS
Handllebar
The handlebar controls the steering of the snowmobile. As the handle-
bar is rotated to right or left, the skis are turned right or left to steer the
snowmobile.
WARNING
Fast reverse while turning, could result in loss of stability and
control.
TYPICAL
Throttlle Lever
Throttle lever is located on the RH side of handlebar.
When squeezed, it increases the engine speed. When released, en-
gine speed returns automatically to idle.

PRIMARY CONTROLS
WARNING
Test the throttle lever operation each time before starting the
engine. The lever must return to the rest position once re-
leased. Otherwise, do not start engine.
Switching from Thumb to Finger Throttle Position (ITC Throttle
Lever)
CAUTION
It is highly recommended to immobilize the snowmobile before
attempting any modification to the throttle position as it could
lead to a hazardous situation.
There are mainly three positions to choose from when going from the
thumb to the finger throttle position and the best one will be to the rid-
er's preference and in direct relation with the riding style and
conditions.
THUMB THROTTLE POSITION : PUSH DOWNWARD TO RO-
TATE THROTTLE HOUSING

PRIMARY CONTROLS
IF WANTED, CONTINUE TO ROTATE THE THROTTLE
HOUSING
FINGER THROTTLE POSITION
CAUTION
It is HIGHLY recommended to use gloves and NOT mitts when
using the finger throttle position.
It is not recommended to use the finger throttle position while
riding in dense off trail areas.
The procedure to go back to the thumb throttle position is the reverse
of the one shown above.
Emergency Engine Stop Switch
The emergency engine stop switch is located on the RH side of
handlebar.
91
PRIMARY CONTROLS
TYPICAL
To stop the engine in an emergency, push the switch down in OFF po-
sition and simultaneously apply the brake.
OFF POSITION
To allow engine starting, pull the switch up in ON position.
92
PRIMARY CONTROLS
ON POSITION
All operators of the snowmobile should familiarize themselves with the
function of the emergency engine stop switch by using it several times
on first outing and whenever stopping the engine thereafter. This en-
gine stopping procedure will become a reflex and will prepare opera-
tors for emergency situations requiring its use.
WARNING
If the switch has been used in an emergency caused by a sus-
pected malfunction, the source of the malfunction should be de-
termined and corrected before restarting engine. Visit an
authorized BRP snowmobile dealer for servicing.
Brake Lever
Brake lever is located on the LH side of handlebar.
When squeezed, brake is applied. When released, it automatically re-
turns to the rest. Braking effect is proportional to the pressure applied
on the lever and to the type of terrain and its snow coverage.

Brake Lever Adjustment
WARNING
It is important to adjust the brake lever to the user size and nor-
mal riding position.
Proper brake lever position should allow:
- Good support for the index and middle finger on the lever.
- Use the outer end of the lever to optimize the force.
- Proper wrist alignment.
Taking the time to adjust and try out the brake lever before your first
snowmobile outing improves user comfort.

PRIMARY CONTROLS
Adjusting the Brake Lever
1. Loosen the two bolts enough to easily move the brake lever on the
handlebar.

WARNING
Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before operating
the snowmobile. When you ride the vehicle, brake pads that are
caused to drag by a continuous pressure on the lever may
cause damage to the brake system and cause loss of braking
capacity and/or fire.

MECHANICAL SWITCH
The engine cut-off switch (tether cord) is located on the console.
The tether cord cap must be securely snapped on the engine cut-off
switch to allow vehicle operation.
Pulling the tether cord cap from the switch shuts the engine off.
WARNING
Always attach the tether cord eyelet to clothing before starting
the engine.
D.E.S.S. (Digitally Encoded Security System)
The tether cord cap has an integrated D.E.S.S. key to provide you and
your snowmobile with the equivalent security of a conventional lock
key.
The D.E.S.S. key contains an electronic chip which features a unique
permanently memorized digital code.
102
PRIMARY CONTROLS
Your authorized BRP snowmobile dealer has programed the D.E.S.S.
of your snowmobile to recognize the D. E. S. S. key in the tether cord
cap to allow vehicle operation.
If another tether cord is used without programming the D.E.S.S., the
engine will start but will not reach drive pulley engagement speed to
move vehicle.
Make sure the tether cord cap is free of dirt or snow.
D.E.S.S. Flexibility
The D.E.S.S. of your snowmobile can be programmed by your author-
ized BRP snowmobile dealer to accept up to 8 different keys.
We recommend the purchase of additional tether cords from your au-
thorized BRP snowmobile dealer. If you have more than one D.E.S.S.
equipped BRP snowmobile, each can be programmed by your author-
ized BRP snowmobile dealer to accept the other vehicles D. E. S. S.
keys.
