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.

131

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)

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.

Front Suspensiion Adjustments

Ski Stance

Skis can be set to three different widths.

To obtain the different widths, place the spacers:

133

TUNE YOUR RIDE

- Inside the skis leg (narrowest ski stance setting: easiest to initiate

turn on sidehills), or

- Outside the skis leg (widest ski stance setting: most stable on cor-

ners), or

- On each side (central setting: best steering accuracy on deep

snow).

Stopper Strap

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.

TUNE YOUR RIDE

STOPPER STRAP POSITIONS

1. Position 1 (longest)

2. Position 2

3. Position 3

4. Position 4 (shortest)

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

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.

147

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.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Driive Pullley

Drive Pulley Adjustment

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).

NOTE:

Use a precision digital tachometer for engine RPM adjustment.

There are 5 positions in which the ramp cam can be set.

Each position modifies the maximum engine RPM by about 200 RPM.

Lower position numbers decrease engine RPM in steps of 200 RPM

and higher position numbers increase it in steps of 200 RPM.

Procedure

1. Refer to Body and Seat in Vehicle Information and remove:

- LH side panel

- Drive pulley guard

173

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.

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

- Missing track guide(s)

WARNING

Riding with a damaged track or studs could lead to a loss of

control.

Track Tension and Alignment

NOTE:

Track tension and alignment are interrelated. Do not adjust one with-

out the other.

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.

178
