Foreword
The Rave 120 Snowmobile is intended to be a learning/recreational snowmobile for a
responsible child at least 6 years of age and under adult supervision. This snowmobile
is intended to be ridden by the operator only; there should be no passenger. Also, this
snowmobile is intended for daylight use in restricted off-road areas, primarily on
snow. Use of this snowmobile on public streets, roads, and highways can be hazard-
ous and is prohibited by law in most cases. As a parent or guardian, one must accept
the responsibility of training the child in the safe operation of the snowmobile. Teach
all operators the basic principles of operation, snowmobile rules and regulations, and
especially how to stop the snowmobile in case of an emergency. Impress upon the
child a sense of snowmobile courtesy and responsibility.
This snowmobile is a quality product designed, engineered, and assembled to give
dependable service. Be sure, as the owner, to become thoroughly familiar with its
basic operation, maintenance, and storage procedures. Read this guide and the
accompanying Snowmobile Safety Handbook to ensure safe and proper use of the
snowmobile.
This guide is divided into sections. The sections “Getting Ready to Operate the Rave
120 Safely” and “Operating the Rave 120” must be read and explained to the child/
operator. The other sections are for the owner/parent/guardian and contain informa-
tion on snowmobile identification, safe operating instructions, lubrication, mainte-
nance, storage, and after-storage preparation. If repair or service is ever required,
contact an authorized BRP Snowmobile dealer for professional service.
At the time of publication, all information and illustrations were technically correct.
No retroactive obligation is incurred.
This Lynx Operator’s Guide should be considered a permanent part of the snowmo-
bile and must remain with the snowmobile at time of resale.
Every BRP snowmobile meets or exceeds the standards of the Snowmobile Safety
and Certification Committee and displays the SSCC decal. BRP endorses and encour-
ages the safe use of all snowmobiles. Always wear a helmet and eye protection. Drive
with caution, observe all state and local laws, and respect the rights of others. Interna-
tional Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA) members like BRP do their
part to improve trails, sponsor events, and generally support the sport of snowmobil-
ing. As a member of the National Snowmobile Foundation, BRP promotes snowmo-
biling through education, charity, and research programs.

following period:
TWELVE (12) CONSECUTIVE MONTHS, for private or commercial use owners.
However, the warranty coverage period on a snowmobile delivered between June 1st
and December 1st of a given year will expire November 30th of the following year.
The repair or replacement of parts or the performance of service under this warranty
does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration date.
Note that the duration and any other modalities of the warranty coverage are subject
to the applicable national or local legislation in the customer's country.
CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE
This warranty coverage is available only if each of the following conditions has been

owner from a LYNX Distributor / Dealer authorized to distribute LYNX snowmo-
biles in the country in which the sale occurred;
• The BRP specified pre-delivery inspection process must be completed and docu-
mented; - The product must have undergone proper registration by an authorized
LYNX Distributor / Dealer;
• The 2023 LYNX snowmobile must be purchased in the country or union of coun-
tries in which the purchaser resides.
• Routine maintenance outlined in the operator’s guide must be timely performed in
order to maintain warranty coverage. BRP reserves the right to make warranty
coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
31
BRP will not honor this limited warranty to any private use owner or commercial use
owner if one of the preceding conditions has not been met. Such limitations are nec-
essary in order to allow BRP to preserve both the safety of its products, and also that
of its consumers and the general public.
WHAT TO DO TO OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE
The customer must cease using the snowmobile upon the appearance of an anomaly.
The customer must notify a servicing LYNX Distributor / Dealer within two (2) days
of the appearance of a defect, and provide it with reasonable access to the product and
reasonable opportunity to repair it. The customer must also present to the authorized
LYNX Distributor / Dealer, proof of purchase of the product and must sign the repair
/ work order prior to starting the repair in order to validate the warranty repair. All
parts replaced under this limited warranty become the property of BRP.
Note that the notification period is subject to the applicable national or local legisla-
tion in customer's country.
WHAT BRP WILL DO
To the extent permitted by law, BRP’s obligations under this warranty are limited to,
at its sole discretion, repairing parts found defective under normal use, maintenance
and service, or replacing such parts with new genuine LYNX parts without charge for
parts and labor, at any authorized LYNX Distributor / Dealer during the warranty
coverage period under the conditions described herein. BRP’s responsibility is lim-
ited to making the required repairs or replacements of parts. No claim of breach of
warranty shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the sale of the snowmobile to
the owner. You may have other legal rights which may vary from country to country.
In the event that service is required outside of the country of original sale, the owner
will bear responsibility for any additional charges due to local practices and condi-
tions, such as, but not limited to, freight, insurance, taxes, license fees, import duties,
and any and all other financial charges, including those levied by governments, states,
territories and their respective agencies.
BRP reserves the right to improve or modify products from time to time without
assuming any obligation to modify products previously manufactured.
TRANSFER
If the ownership of a product is transferred during the warranty coverage period, this
limited warranty, subject to its terms and conditions, shall also be transferred and be
valid for the remaining coverage period provided BRP or an authorized LYNX Dis-
tributor/Dealer receives a proof that the former owner agreed to the transfer of owner-
ship, in addition to the coordinates of the new owner.
CONSUMER ASSISTANCE

the warranty coverage period on a snowmobile delivered between June 1st and
December 1st of a given year will expire November 30th of the applicable year. A
snowmobile is used commercially when it is used in connection with generating
income or any work or employment during any part of the warranty period. A snow-
mobile is also used commercially when, at any point during the warranty period, it
has commercial tags or is licensed for commercial use.
The repair or replacement of parts or the performance of service under this warranty
does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration date.
Note that the duration and any other modalities of the warranty coverage are subject
to the applicable national or local legislation in the customer’s country.
CONDITIONS TO HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE
This warranty coverage is available only if each of the following conditions has been
fulfilled:
• The 2023 LYNX snowmobile must be purchased as new and unused by its first
owner from a LYNX Distributor/Dealer authorized to distribute LYNX products in
the country in which the sale occurred;
• The BRP specified pre-delivery inspection process must be completed and docu-
mented;
• The product must have undergone proper registration by an authorized LYNX Dis-
tributor/Dealer;
• The 2023 LYNX snowmobile must be purchased within the EEA by an EEA resi-
dent, in the CIS for residents of the countries comprised in such area and in Tur-
key for residents of Turkey;
34
• Routine maintenance outlined in the Operator’s Guide must be timely performed
in order to maintain warranty coverage. BRP reserves the right to make warranty
coverage contingent upon proof of proper maintenance.
BRP will not honor this limited warranty to any private use owner or commercial use
owner if one of the preceding conditions has not been met. Such limitations are nec-
essary in order to allow BRP to preserve both the safety of its products, and also that
of its consumers and the general public.
WHAT TO DO TO OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE
The customer must cease using the snowmobile upon the appearance of an anomaly.
The customer must notify a servicing BRP snowmobile distributor/ dealer within two
(2) months of the appearance of a defect, and provide it with reasonable access to the
product and reasonable opportunity to repair it. The customer must also present to the
authorized BRP snowmobile distributor/ dealer, proof of purchase of the product and
must sign the repair/work order prior to starting the repair in order to validate the
warranty repair. All parts replaced under this limited warranty become the property of
BRP.
Note that the notification period is subject to the applicable national or local legisla-
tion in customer's country.
WHAT BRP WILL DO
To the extent permitted by law, BRP’s obligations under this warranty are limited to,
at its sole discretion, repairing parts found defective under normal use, maintenance
and service, or replacing such parts with new genuine LYNX parts without charge for
parts and labor, at any authorized LYNX Distributor/Dealer during the warranty cov-
erage period under the conditions described herein. BRP’s responsibility is limited to
making the required repairs or replacements of parts. No claim of breach of warranty
shall be cause for cancellation or rescission of the sale of the snowmobile to the
owner. You may have other legal rights which may vary from country to country.
In the event that service is required outside of the EEA, CIS or Turkey, the owner will
bear responsibility for any additional charges due to local practices and conditions,
such as, but not limited to, freight, insurance, taxes, license fees, import duties, and
any and all other financial charges, including those levied by governments, states, ter-
ritories and their respective agencies.
BRP reserves the right to improve or modify products from time to time without
assuming any obligation to modify products previously manufactured.
TRANSFER
If the ownership of a product is transferred during the warranty coverage period, this
limited warranty, subject to its terms and conditions, shall also be transferred and be
valid for the remaining coverage period provided BRP or an authorized LYNX Dis-
tributor/Dealer receives a proof that the former owner agreed to the transfer of owner-
ship, in addition to the co-ordinates of the new owner.
CONSUMER ASSISTANCE
In the event of a controversy or a dispute in connection with this limited warranty,
BRP suggests that you try to resolve the issue at the LYNX Distributor/Dealer level.
We recommend discussing the issue with the authorized LYNX Distributor/Dealer's
service manager or owner.
If the matter still remains unresolved, contact BRP by filling out the customer contact
form at www.brp.com or contact BRP by mail at one of the addresses listed under the
CONTACT US section of this guide.

Change of Address/Ownership
If your address has changed or if you are the new owner of the snowmobile, be sure to
notify BRP by either:
• Notifying an authorized BRP snowmobile dealer or distributor.
North America Only: calling at 1-888-272-9222.
• Mailing one of the change of address cards on the following pages at one of the
BRP addresses indicated in the Contact Us section of this guide.
In case of change of ownership, please join a proof that the former owner agreed to
the transfer.
Notifying BRP, even after the expiration of the limited warranty, is very important as
it enables BRP to reach the snowmobile owner if necessary, like when safety recalls
are initiated. It is the owner’s responsibility to notify BRP.
STOLEN UNITS: If your personal snowmobile is stolen, you should notify BRP or
an authorized BRP snowmobile dealer. We will ask you to provide your name,
address, phone number, the vehicle identification number and the date it was stolen.
