Never
experiment
... with different fuel or fuel ratios.
Never use naphtha, methanol or similar
products.
+
WA RNING:
Never
"top
up" the
gas tank before placing the vehi-
cle in a warm area. At certain tempera-
tures, gasoline will expand and over-
flow. Always wipe off any gasoline
spillage from the snowmobile.
Blizzard 5500 MX
Use premium leaded or unleaded gaso-
line (octane number of 89 of higher).
Blizzard 9700
Use regular leaded or unleaded gaso-
line available from all service stations.
Recommended Oil
(Both models)
Use "Bombardier Snowmobile Injec-
tion Oil"
(P
/N 496 0133 00 - 1 liter)
available from your dealer. This type of
oil will flow at temperatures as low as
minus 40°C (-40°F),
It is a blend of specially selected base
oils and additives
which
provides
outstanding lubrication, engine clean-
liness and minimum spark plug fouling.
If "Bombardier Snowmobile Injection
Oil" is unavailable, substitute with
"Bombardier 50:1 Snowmobile Oil".
. . . CAUTION: Never use outboard
•
or straight mineral oils.
Oil Injection System
(Blizzard 5500
MX
only)
Always maintain a sufficient amount of
Bombardier Snowmobile injection oil
in the injection oil tank.
. . CAUTION: Check level and refill
... every time you refuel.
O
NOTE: For the break-in period on-
ly, 450 ml (16 oz.) of Bombardier
Snowmobile Injection oil should be
added to the first full fuel tank filling.
This will assure additional protection
during the initial engine break-in.
Fuel Mixture Ratio &
Mixing Procedure
(Blizzard 9700 only)
Oil must be added to the gasoline in
pre-measured amounts then both oil
and gasoline should be thoroughly
mixed together before fueling the tank.
The importance of using the correct
fuel mixture cannot be overstressed.
An incorrect fuel ratio results in serious
engine damage. Recommended fuel
ratio is 30/1 .
SI UNITS
500 ml oil to 15 liters
30/1
IMPERIAL UNITS
16 oz. oil to 3 Imp. gals
30/1
or
500 ml oil to 3.3 Imp. gals = 30/1
U.S. UNITS
13 oz. oil to 3 U.S. gals= 30/1
O
NOTE: To facilitate fuel mixing, oil
should be kept at room temper-
ature.
To mix the gasoline and oil always use
a separate clean container. Never mix
directly in your snowmobile tank. For
best results, acquire two containers,
either plastic or metal. Draw from one
until empty then use the second one.
