BREAK-IN PERIOD

Operatiion During Break-In

Engine

During the break-in period:

- Avoid prolonged full throttle operation.

- Avoid sustained accelerations.

- Avoid prolonged cruising speeds.

- Avoid engine overheating.

However, brief accelerations and speed variations contribute to a

good break-in.

During a predetermined period, the engine management system con-

trols some engine parameters.

The duration is based on fuel volume. It will take approximately two

fuel tanks to complete the break-in.

During this period:

- The engine performance and behavior will not be optimal.

- The fuel and oil consumption will be higher.

Drive Belt

A new drive belt requires a break in period of 50 km (30 mi).

During the break-in period:

- Avoid strong acceleration and deceleration.

- Avoid pulling a load.

- Avoid high speed cruising.

If the vehicle creeps, lower the drive belt height from the preliminary

setting. Refer to Drive Belt in maintenance procedure.

164

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.

171

RIDING CONDITIONS AND YOUR

SNOWMOBILE

Altitude

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.

172

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)

173

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.

4. Stopper strap

NOTICE

Whenever adjusting rear suspension, check track tension and

adjust if necessary.

Stopper Strap – EasyRide 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 or 3. Smaller numbers corre-

spond to a longer strap setting.

175

TUNE YOUR RIDE

STOPPER STRAP POSITIONS

1. Position 1 (longest)

2. Position 2

3. Position 3 (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.

176

Use

Boon docking:

- Better bump absorption

- Lighter and easier handling on flat landscape.

Standard setting: Best overall setting (general use)

Hill climb:

- Better track attack angle for hill climbing

- Less transfer

- Lower ride height

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 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

section.

You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the fueling

section of this manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten

volume percent ethanol is readily available, the US EPA issued a pro-

hibition against the use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol %

ethanol that applies to this vehicle. The use of gasoline containing

greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may harm the emission

control system.

192

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.

193

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.

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.

227

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

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.
