MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
1. Coolant reservoir
2. COLD line
Recommended Engine Coolant
RECOMMENDED COOLANT
XPS Extended life pre-mixed coolant
IF THE RECOMMENDED XPS COOLANT IS NOT
AVAILABLE
Distilled water and antifreeze solution (50% distilled water, 50%
antifreeze)
NOTICE
Always use ethylene-glycol antifreeze containing corrosion in-
hibitors specifically for internal combustion aluminum engines.
Engiine Oiil
Extreme Cold Condition
An engine that is operated in -25°C/-13°F and below environment will
require an increase in service and maintenance schedule.
Any combustion engine operated in such a low load and rather cold
operating temperature collects an increased amount of condensation
at every startup/warm-up.
214
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Since the engine is not reaching operating temperatures for extended
periods of time, the oil is starting to be strongly diluted with water and
gas residue (more water content).
An engine needs to reach operating temperature, in order to be able
to evaporate condensate out of the oil.
If daily usage (work or leisure driving cycle) is similar to those men-
tioned below, BRP strongly recommends changing the oil at least
once a month.
Parameters of an increase in service and maintenance schedule:
- Engine not reaching the proper operating temperature during nor-
mal daily usage
- Multiple starts and stops without reaching operating temperature
- Short idle periods
- Low RPM driving cycle in short distances without reaching operat-
ing temperature.
NOTE:
BRP strongly recommends the installation of a block heater to help
warm up the liquids, this will also help to extend the oil lifetime.
Recommended Oil
Rotax® engines were developed and validated using the XPS™ oil.
BRP recommends the use of its XPS engine oil or an equivalent at all
time. Do not add any oil additives to the recommended engine oil.
Damages caused by the use of an oil not suitable for the engine or by
adding of an oil additives may not be covered by the BRP Limited
Warranty.
XPS RECOMMENDED Engine Oil
4T 0W40 Synthetic oil
IF THE RECOMMENDED XPS ENGINE OIL IS NOT
AVAILABLE
Use a 0W40 4-stroke SAE synthetic engine oil meeting or
exceeding the following lubricant industry specifications.
Always check the API service label certification on the oil container,
it must contain at least the indicated standard.
- API service classification SN

240
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Lift the rear of the snowmobile and support it with a wide-base snow-
mobile mechanical stand with a rear deflector panel. With the engine
off, rotate the track by hand, and inspect condition. If worn or cut, or if
track fibers are exposed, or if missing or defective inserts or guides
are noted; contact an authorized BRP snowmobile dealer.
Snowmobiles Equipped with Traction Enhancing Products
If your snowmobile is equipped with a BRP approved studded track,
PROCEED WITH A VISUAL INSPECTION OF YOUR TRACK BE-
FORE EACH USE.
Look for any defects, such as:
- Perforations in the track
- Tears in the track (particularly around traction holes on studded
tracks)
- Lugs that are broken or torn off, exposing portions of rods
- Delamination of the rubber
- Broken rods
- Broken studs (studded tracks)
- Bent studs (studded tracks)
- Missing studs
- Studs that are torn off the track
- Missing track guide(s)
- Also, ensure that studs nut are tighten to the recommended
torque.
On approved studded tracks, replace broken or damaged studs imme-
diately. If your track shows signs of deterioration, it must be replaced
immediately. When in doubt, ask your dealer.
WARNING
Riding with a damaged track or studs could lead to a loss of
control.
For complete information on traction enhancing products, refer to
TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS in SAFETY INFORMATION at
the beginning of this Operator's Guide.
Track Tension and Alignment
NOTE:
Track tension and alignment are interrelated. Do not adjust one with-
out the other.
241
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
WARNING
To prevent serious injury to individuals near the snowmobile:
– NEVER stand behind or near a moving track.
– Always use a wide-base snowmobile stand with a rear de-
flector panel if it is necessary to rotate track.
– When the track is raised off the ground, only run it at the low-
est possible speed.
Centrifugal force could cause debris, damaged or loose studs,
pieces of torn track, or an entire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tunnel with tremendous force, pos-
sibly resulting in the loss of a leg or other serious injury.
Veriifyiing the Track Tension
NOTE:
Ride the snowmobile in snow about 15 to 20 minutes prior to adjusting
track tension.
1. Remove tether cord cap from engine cut-off switch.
2. Lift rear of vehicle and support it off the ground.
CAUTION
Use proper lifting techniques, notably using your legs force. Do
not attempt to lift the rear of vehicle if it is above your limits.

Alligning the Track
WARNING
Before checking track alignment, ensure that the track is free of
all particles which could be thrown out while track is rotating.
Keep hands, tools, feet and clothing clear of track. Always lift
the snowmobile on a wide-base stand with a rear deflector pan-
el. Ensure no one is standing in close proximity to the snowmo-
bile, especially at the rear of the track. Never rotate track at
high speed.
Centrifugal force could cause debris, damaged or loose studs,
pieces of torn track, or an entire severed track to be violently
thrown backwards out of the tunnel with tremendous force.
1. Lift rear of vehicle and support it off the ground.
CAUTION
Use proper lifting techniques, notably by using the force of your
legs . Do not attempt to lift the rear of vehicle if it is above your
limits.
2. Start engine and accelerate slightly so that track slowly turns. This
must be done in a short period of time (15 to 20 seconds).

Identiifiication Numbers
The main components of your snowmobile (engine and frame) are
identified by different identification numbers. It may sometimes be-
come necessary to locate these numbers for warranty purposes or to
trace your snowmobile in the event of loss. These numbers are re-
quired by the authorized BRP snowmobile dealer to complete war-
ranty claims properly. We strongly recommend that you take note of
all the identification numbers on your snowmobile and supply them to
your insurance company.
