Snowmobile Ski-Doo CROSSOVER ACE SERIES. OPERATOR’S GUIDE (2024)

PRIMARY CONTROLS

WARNING

Test the throttle lever operation each time before starting the

engine. The lever must return to the rest position once re-

leased. Otherwise, do not start engine.

Switching from Thumb to Finger Throttle Position (ITC Throttle

Lever)

CAUTION

It is highly recommended to immobilize the snowmobile before

attempting any modification to the throttle position as it could

lead to a hazardous situation.

There are mainly three positions to choose from when going from the

thumb to the finger throttle position and the best one will be to the rid-

er's preference and in direct relation with the riding style and

conditions.

THUMB THROTTLE POSITION : PUSH DOWNWARD TO RO-

TATE THROTTLE HOUSING

PRIMARY CONTROLS

IF WANTED, CONTINUE TO ROTATE THE THROTTLE

HOUSING

FINGER THROTTLE POSITION

CAUTION

It is HIGHLY recommended to use gloves and NOT mitts when

using the finger throttle position.

It is not recommended to use the finger throttle position while

riding in dense off trail areas.

The procedure to go back to the thumb throttle position is the reverse

of the one shown above.

Emergency Engine Stop Switch

The emergency engine stop switch is located on the RH side of

handlebar.

123

PRIMARY CONTROLS

ON POSITION

All operators of the snowmobile should familiarize themselves with the

function of the emergency engine stop switch by using it several times

on first outing and whenever stopping the engine thereafter. This en-

gine stopping procedure will become a reflex and will prepare opera-

tors for emergency situations requiring its use.

WARNING

If the switch has been used in an emergency caused by a sus-

pected malfunction, the source of the malfunction should be de-

termined and corrected before restarting engine. Visit an

authorized BRP snowmobile dealer for servicing.

Brake Lever

Brake lever is located on the LH side of handlebar.

When squeezed, brake is applied. When released, it automatically re-

turns to the rest. Braking effect is proportional to the pressure applied

on the lever and to the type of terrain and its snow coverage.

Brake Lever Adjustment

WARNING

It is important to adjust the brake lever to the user size and nor-

mal riding position.

Proper brake lever position should allow:

- Good support for the index and middle finger on the lever.

- Use the outer end of the lever to optimize the force.

- Proper wrist alignment.

Taking the time to adjust and try out the brake lever before your first

snowmobile outing improves user comfort.

Parking Brake Lever

Parking brake lever is located on the LH side of handlebar.

TYPICAL

Parking brake should be used whenever snowmobile is parked.

WARNING

Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before operating

the snowmobile. When you ride the vehicle, brake pads that are

caused to drag by a continuous pressure on the lever may

cause damage to the brake system and cause loss of braking

capacity and/or fire.

To Engage Parking Brake

Apply and hold brake, then lock brake lever using the parking brake

lever as shown.

131

PRIMARY CONTROLS

MECHANICAL SWITCH

The engine cut-off switch (tether cord) is located on the console.

The tether cord cap must be securely snapped on the engine cut-off

switch to allow vehicle operation.

Pulling the tether cord cap from the switch shuts the engine off.

WARNING

Always attach the tether cord eyelet to clothing before starting

the engine.

D.E.S.S. (Digitally Encoded Security System)

The tether cord cap has an integrated D.E.S.S. key to provide you and

your snowmobile with the equivalent security of a conventional lock

key.

The D.E.S.S. key contains an electronic chip which features a unique

permanently memorized digital code.

134

PRIMARY CONTROLS

Your authorized BRP snowmobile dealer has programed the D.E.S.S.

of your snowmobile to recognize the D. E. S. S. key in the tether cord

cap to allow vehicle operation.

If another tether cord is used without programming the D.E.S.S., the

engine will start but will not reach drive pulley engagement speed to

move vehicle.

Make sure the tether cord cap is free of dirt or snow.

D.E.S.S. Flexibility

The D.E.S.S. of your snowmobile can be programmed by your author-

ized BRP snowmobile dealer to accept up to 8 different keys.

We recommend the purchase of additional tether cords from your au-

thorized BRP snowmobile dealer. If you have more than one D.E.S.S.

equipped BRP snowmobile, each can be programmed by your author-

ized BRP snowmobile dealer to accept the other vehicles D. E. S. S.

keys.

FUEL

Fuel Requirements

NOTICE

Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline will oxidize; the result is

loss of octane, volatile compounds, and the production of gum

and varnish deposits which can damage the fuel system.

Alcohol fuel blending varies by country and region. Your vehicle has

been designed to operate using the recommended fuels, however, be

aware of the following:

- Use of fuel containing alcohol above the percentage specified by

government regulations is not recommended and can result in the

following problems in the fuel system components:

- Starting and operating difficulties.

- Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts.

- Corrosion of metal parts.

- Damage to internal engine parts.

- Inspect frequently for the presence of fuel leaks or other fuel sys-

tem abnormalities if you suspect the presence of alcohol in gaso-

line exceeds the current government regulations.

- Alcohol blended fuels attract and hold moisture which may lead to

fuel phase separation and can result in engine performance prob-

lems or engine damage.

Recommended Fuel

Use unleaded gasoline containing MAXIMUM 10% ethanol. The gaso-

line must have the following minimum octane requirements:

BREAK-IN PERIOD

Operation Duriing 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.

Before every ride, vehicle has to be warmed up as follows.

1. Start engine as explained in ENGINE STARTING PROCEDURE

(PAGE 230) 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.

230

BASIC PROCEDURES

3. Disengage parking brake.

4. Apply throttle until drive pulley engages. Drive at low speed the first

two or three minutes.

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.

– Validate that transmission is engaged (not in neutral).

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.

Shifting in High or Low range

This transmission is designed to accept shifting while moving. How-

ever, shifting while the engine is under heavy load is not

recommended.

NOTICE

Shifting at a speed faster than 30 km/h (19 MPH) may cause

serious damage to the gearbox.

231

BASIC PROCEDURES

High Range

This position selects the high speed range of the gearbox. It is the nor-

mal driving speed range. It allows the vehicle to reach its maximum

speed.

Low Range

This position selects the low speed range of the gearbox. It allows the

vehicle to move slowly with maximum engine torque.

Low range should be used whenever:

- Pulling a cargo carrier or accessory

- Hauling a load

- Crossing obstacles

- Climbing onto trailer

- Hill climbing

It is also recommended to use low range if driving for prolonged peri-

ods at speeds under 24 km/h (15 MPH).

NOTICE

Use the low speed range to pull a cargo carrier, carry heavy

cargo, go over obstacles or drive uphill and downhill.

Shiiftiing iin Reverse

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.

235

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)

95 km/h (60 MPH)

75 mm (3 in)

236

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.
