drive pulley, do not reinstall the belt guard and return slowly to
have snowmobile repaired.
Vehicle Warm-Up
Before every ride, vehicle has to be warmed up as follows.
1. Start engine as explained in Engine Starting Procedure above.
2. Allow engine to warm up one or two minutes at idle speed.
NOTE:
Engine will shut down after approximately 12 minutes of idling.
3. Disengage parking brake.
4. Apply throttle until drive pulley engages. Drive at low speed the first
two or three minutes.
155
BASIC PROCEDURES
NOTICE
If vehicle does not move when throttle is applied, stop engine,
remove tether cord cap from the engine cut-off switch, then do
the following.
– Check if skis are stuck on the ground. Lift one ski at a time
by the handle, then put it down.
– Check if track is stuck on the ground. Lift rear of snowmobile
enough to clear track from the ground, then drop.
– Check rear suspension for hard snow or ice accumulation
that could interfere with track rotation. Clean the area.
CAUTION
Beware of injuries by using proper lifting techniques, notably
using your legs force. Do not attempt to lift the rear of vehicle if
it is above your limits.
WARNING
Make sure tether cord cap is removed before standing in front
the vehicle, getting close to the track or rear suspension
components.
NOTE:
Warm-up is electronically controlled. During this period (up to 10 mi-
nutes depending on ambient temperature), engine RPM is limited.
Reverse (RER)
When the engine is running, depressing the RER button will slow
down engine RPM to almost a stop and advance the ignition timing to
invert crankshaft rotation.
- Engine will automatically shift into forward when restarting after
stopping or stalling.
- Shifting procedure will take place only when the engine is running.
- If engine is running at a speed above 4300 RPM, the function of
the RER button is disabled.
- It is recommended to warm up the engine to its normal operating
temperature before shifting.
Shifting in Reverse
1. Bring vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Apply and hold brake. Remain seated, refer to Rider Position (Re-
verse Operation) in Riding the vehicle for posture information.
156

3. With engine at idle speed, select reverse (R) gear using the Start /
RER button.
1. Start / RER button
4. Wait until reverse beeper sounds, then gently depress throttle
lever.
WARNING
The reverse speed is not limited. Always proceed with caution
as fast reverse could result in loss of vehicle stability. Come to
complete stop before activating the reverse. Always remain
seated and apply the brake before shifting. Ensure the path be-
hind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before proceeding.
Shifting in Forward from Reverse
1. Bring vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Apply and hold brake.
3. Press and release the RER button.
4. Apply throttle slowly and evenly. Allow drive pulley to engage then
accelerate carefully.
Shuttiing Off the Engine

when vehicle is not in operation in order to prevent accidental
engine starting or to avoid unauthorized use by children or
others or theft.
158
RIDING CONDITIONS AND YOUR
SNOWMOBILE
Alltiitude
At factory, your snowmobile was calibrated to be used within an alti-
tude range (relative to sea level).
A new snowmobile has a tag attached to the handlebar indicating its
calibration. Refer to Safety Information on Vehicle.
If for any reason you don't know your snowmobile calibration, contact
an authorized BRP snowmobile dealer.
If your snowmobile is to be used at an altitude outside the specified
range, have it calibrated accordingly by an authorized BRP snowmo-
bile dealer.
NOTICE
An inappropriate altitude calibration would decrease perform-
ance and may cause serious damage to the snowmobile.
Temperature
The engine management of these engines provides the optimum air/
fuel ratio for all temperatures.
Hard Packed Snow
All models covered in this guide which are equipped with a minimum
track profile of 44 mm (1.75 in) are built for deep snow conditions and
should never be used during a prolonged period of time in marginal or
hard packed snow conditions.
In the event you have to ride in these types of conditions:
- Avoid exceeding a speed of 70 km/h (45 mph) in all conditions
- Avoid hard acceleration (over 75% of throttle)
- Ice scratchers should be applied
- Engine temperature should not exceed 75% on the temperature
gauge.
NOTICE
Running these types of tracks at high speed on a trail, on hard
packed surfaces or on ice puts more stress on the lugs, which
tends to heat up as a result. It also could drastically reduce the
life of specific wear parts. To avoid potential degradation, de-
lamination or damages to the track and wear parts, reduce your
speed and minimize the distance that is being ridden on these
types of surfaces.
159
RIDING CONDITIONS AND YOUR SNOWMOBILE
Vehicles Equipped with Ice Scratchers
Ice scratchers are equipped on the vehicle to increase engine cooling
efficiency, to lubricate and to cool track clips and sliders. They must
be used whenever on ice, hard packed snow, or any conditions that
do not lift enough snow particles into the rear suspension and the
tunnel.
NOTICE
Although it is not recommended to ride a snowmobile equipped
with a high lug profile track on trails or hard packed snow condi-
tions, it is highly suggested to combine idler wheels and ice
scratchers on a vehicle used in these conditions.
IMPORTANT
Ridding in these trail conditions puts the reliability of the track and
its warranty at risk
If equipped with the following track profile heights, never exceed the
recommended sustained vehicle speeds listed.
Track Profile Height
Maximum Sustained Speed
57 mm (2.25 in)
110 km/h (70 MPH)
60 mm (2.36 in)
64 mm (2.52 in)

TUNE YOUR RIDE
Snowmobile handling and comfort depend upon multiple adjustments.
WARNING
Suspension adjustment could affect vehicle handling. Always
take time to familiarize yourself with the vehicle''s behavior after
any suspension adjustment have been made. Always adjust LH
and RH suspension components to the same setting.
Choice of suspension adjustments vary with carrying load, operator's
weight, personal preference, riding speed and field condition.
NOTE:
Some adjustments may not apply to your snowmobile.
WARNING
Before proceeding with any suspension adjustment, remember:
– Park in a safe place.
– Remove the tether cord cap from the engine cut-off switch.
– Use appropriate lifting device or have assistance to share
lifting stress. If a lifting device is not used, use proper lifting
techniques, notably using your legs force.
– Do not attempt to lift the front or rear of vehicle if it is above
your limits.
– Support front of vehicle off the ground with a suitable device
before adjusting suspension.
– Support rear of vehicle off the ground with a wide-base
snowmobile stand with a rear deflector panel.
– Make sure support device is stable and secure.
The best way to set up the suspension is to customize each adjust-
ment one at a time. Various adjustments are interrelated. It may be
necessary to readjust center spring after adjusting front springs for in-
stance. Test run the snowmobile under the same conditions; trail,
speed, snow, operator riding position, etc. Proceed methodically until
you are satisfied.
Following are guidelines to fine-tune suspension. Use suspension ad-
justment tool provided in the tool kit.

Stopper Strap – PPS3 Suspension
Stopper strap length has an effect on the amount of weight the center
spring has to carry especially during acceleration, therefore on the
front end uplift.
Stopper strap length also has an effect on center spring travel.
NOTICE
Whenever stopper strap length is changed, track tension must
be checked.
NOTE:
Stopper strap can be set to position 1, 2, 3 or 4. Smaller numbers cor-
respond to a longer strap setting.
STOPPER STRAP POSITIONS
1. Position 1 (longest)
2. Position 2 (factory settings)
3. Position 3
4. Position 4 (shortest)
163
TUNE YOUR RIDE
When operating the snowmobile in deep snow or hill climbing, it may
be necessary to vary stopper strap length and/or riding position, to
change the angle at which the track rides on the snow. Operator's fa-
miliarity with the various adjustments as well as snow conditions will
dictate the most efficient combination.
Generally, a longer stopper strap setting gives better performance on
a flat landscape and a shorter setting will improve handling in steep hill
climbing and deep snow conditions.

Center Spring
Center spring preload has an effect on steering effort, handling and
bump absorption.
Also, since center spring preload adjustment puts more or less pres-
sure on the front of the track, it has an effect on the performance in
deep snow.

Rear Spring
Rear spring preload has an effect on comfort, ride height and load
compensation.
Also, adjusting rear spring preload shifts more or less weight to the
snowmobile front end. As a result, more or less weight is applied to
the skis. This has an effect on performance in deep snow, steering ef-
fort and handling.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring under the worst riding condi-
tions indicates a good choice of spring preload.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance is very important to keep your vehicle in safe operating
condition. The vehicle should be serviced as per the maintenance
schedule.
Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim
may be denied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused
the problem through improper maintenance or use.
Perform periodic checks and follow the maintenance schedule. The
maintenance schedule does not exempt the pre-ride inspection.
WARNING
Failure to properly maintain the vehicle according to the main-
tenance schedule and procedures can make it unsafe to
operate.
EPA Regullatiion - Canadiian and USA Vehiiclles
A repair shop or person of the owner''s choosing may maintain,
replace, or repair emission control devices and systems. These in-
structions do not require components or service by BRP or authorized
BRP snowmobile dealers.
Although an authorized BRP snowmobile dealer has an in-depth tech-
nical knowledge and tools to service your vehicle, the emission-related
warranty is not conditioned on the use of an authorized BRP snowmo-
bile dealer or any other establishment with which BRP has a commer-
cial relationship.
Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim
may be denied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused
the problem through improper maintenance or use.
For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis
and repair of emission-related parts to the authorized BRP snowmo-
bile dealers. For more information, please refer to the US EPA Emis-
sions PERFORMANCE WARRANTY contained in the warranty

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Deep Snow/ Traiil/ Crossover/ Utiiliity Usage
Whether your vehicle is a Deep Snow, Trail, Crossover, or Utility mod-
el, these types of usage require maintenance tasks to be performed
between the regular yearly intervals. These are identified as A+ in the
chart below.
If you regularly ride deep snow and perform frequent hill climbs,
follow the A+ Deep Snow interval and perform the tasks outlined in the
chart below.
If you regularly ride in trails, explore the countryside, or work with
your snowmobile, follow the A+ Trail / Crossover / Utility interval and
perform the tasks outlined in the chart below.
181
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maiintenance Schedulle
Make sure to perform proper maintenance at recommended intervals
as indicated in the tables.
The maintenance chart indicates the items needing to be addressed
based on 2 criteria, whichever happens first:
- Calendar time
- Odometer reading.
Your driving habits determines the factors you shall adhere too. For
example:
- Someone who uses their vehicle every other weekend trail riding
with friends would most likely follow the odometer reading to de-
termine the frequency of his maintenance.
- Someone who uses their vehicle seldomly over the year or only on
a few occasions would follow the calendar time to determine the
frequency of his maintenance.
IMPORTANT: The following tables show the appropriate mainte-
nance application for the first 3 years. For subsequent years, repeat
the same pattern alternatively.

WARNING
Remove tether cord cap from engine cut-off switch before per-
forming any adjustment. Vehicle must be parked in a safe
place, away from the trail.
WARNING
NEVER disassemble or modify the drive pulley.
Improper assembly or modifications could cause the pulley to
explode violently under the stress generated by the high rota-
tional speed.
Visit your BRP snowmobile dealer to maintain or service the
drive pulley. Improper servicing or maintenance may affect per-
formance and reduce belt life. Always respect maintenance
schedules.
The drive pulley is factory calibrated to transmit maximum engine
power at a predefined RPM. Factors such as ambient temperature, al-
titude or surface condition may vary this critical engine RPM thus af-
fecting snowmobile efficiency.
This adjustable drive pulley allows setting maximum engine RPM to
maintain maximum power.
Ramp cams should be adjusted so that actual maximum engine RPM
matches the maximum horsepower RPM. Refer to Technical Specifi-
cations (Engine).

EPA CERTIFIED ENGINES
Engine Emiissiions Information
Manufacturer''s Responsibility
Snowmobile manufacturers of snowmobile engines need to determine
the exhaust emission levels for each engine horsepower family and
certify these engines with the United States of America Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). An emissions control information label,
showing emission levels and engine specifications, must be placed on
each vehicle at the time of manufacture.
Dealer''s Responsibility
When performing service on a certified BRP snowmobiles that carry
an emissions control information label, adjustments must be kept with-
in published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be
executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the pre-
scribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in any manner that would alter
the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their predeter-
mined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's prescribed changes, such as alti-
tude adjustments for example.
Owner Responsibility
The owner / operator is required to have engine maintenance per-
formed to maintain emission levels within prescribed certification
standards.
The owner / operator is not to, and should not allow anyone to modify
the engine in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow
emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
EPA Emission Regulations
All BRP snowmobiles manufactured by BRP are certified to the EPA
as conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of
air pollution from new snowmobile engines. This certification is contin-
gent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards. For this
reason, the factory procedure for servicing the product must be strictly
followed and, whenever practicable, returned to the original intent of
the design.
The responsibilities listed above are general and in no way a complete
listing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the EPA requirements
on exhaust emissions for snowmobile products. For more detailed in-
formation on this subject, you may contact the following locations:

US EPA EMISSION-RELATED WARRANTY
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (“BRP”) warrants to the ulti-
mate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that this new engine,
including all parts of its exhaust emission-control system and its evap-
orative emission-control system, meets two conditions:
1. It is designed, built, and equipped so it conforms at the time of sale
to the ultimate purchaser with the requirements of 40 CFR 1051
and 40 CFR 1060.
2. It is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may keep
it from meeting the requirements of 40 CFR 1051 and 40 CFR
1060.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BRP will repair or replace, as it
elects, any part or component with a defect in materials or workman-
ship that would increase the engine’s emissions of any regulated pol-
lutant within the stated warranty period at no cost to the owner,
including expenses related to diagnosing and repairing or replacing
emission-related parts. All defective parts replaced under this warranty
become the property of BRP.
For all emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis
and repair of emission-related parts to the authorized LYNX dealers,
unless for emergency repairs as required by item 2 of the following
list.
As a certifying manufacturer, BRP will not deny emission-related war-
ranty claims based on any of the following:
1. Maintenance or other service BRP or BRP's authorized facilities
performed.
2. Engine/equipment repair work that an operator performed to cor-
rect an unsafe, emergency condition attributable to BRP as long as
the operator tries to restore the engine/equipment to its proper con-
figuration as soon as possible.
3. Any action or inaction by the operator unrelated to the warranty
claim.
4. Maintenance that was performed more frequently than BRP
specify.
5. Anything that is BRP fault or responsibility.
6. The use of any fuel that is commonly available where the equip-
ment operates unless BRP written maintenance instructions state
that this fuel would harm the equipment’s emission control system
and operators can readily find the proper fuel. See maintenance in-
formation section and fuel requirements of fueling section.

Limited Appllicabillity
As a certifying manufacturer, BRP may deny emission-related war-
ranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner’s or oper-
ator’s improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which the
manufacturer has no responsibility, or by acts of God. For example, an
emission-related warranty claim need not be honored for failures that
have been directly caused by the operator’s abuse of the engine/
equipment or the operator’s use of the engine/equipment in a manner
for which it was not designed and are not attributable to the manufac-
turer in anyway.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS/OWNERSHIP
If your address has changed or if you are the new owner of the snow-
mobile, 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 neces-
sary, like when safety recalls are initiated. It is the owner’s responsibil-
ity 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 identifica-
tion number and the date it was stolen.
