  • Page 13: General Precautions

    GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breath- ing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust.

  • Page 14: Avoid Burns From Hot Parts

    Do not make unauthorized modifications, or use attachments or ac- cessories that are not approved by BRP. Since these changes have not been tested by BRP, they may increase the risk of crashes or in- juries, and they can make the vehicle illegal.

  • Page 15: Special Safety Messages

    SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these in- structions: – Always make a pre-ride inspection BEFORE you start the engine. – Throttle mechanism should be checked for free movement and return to idle position before starting engine. –...
  • Page 16 – BRP recommends the operator has at least 16 years old of age. Verify also your local laws for age and training requirements. – It is very important to inform any operator, regardless of his experience, of the handling characteristics of this snowmobile.
  • Page 17 SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES – Avoid road traveling. If you must do so, and it is permitted, re- duce speed. The snowmobile is not designed to operate or turn on paving. When crossing a road, make a full stop, then look carefully in both directions before crossing at a 90°...
  • Page 18 SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES – Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate and freezes over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempt- ing to turn or brake on this surface could cause your vehicle to spin out of control. Never brake or attempt speeding or turning on glare ice.
  • Page 19 – You may stud the track on this vehicle model. However, you MUST only use the BRP approved type stud for use on Lynx snowmobiles. DO NOT EVER use conventional studs because the track thickness is thinner then our standard tracks. The stud could tear off of track and separate from vehicle.

  • Page 20: Riding The Vehicle

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Each operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of other recre- ationists or bystanders. You are responsible for proper operation of your vehicle as well as training those whom you allow to ride or drive. There may be notice- able handling and performance differences from one snowmobile to the other.
  • Page 21 RIDING THE VEHICLE 4. Check fuel and injection oil (if applicable) for levels and leaks. Re- plenish if necessary and in case of any leaks; you should seek ser- vice from an authorized Lynx dealer, repair shop, or person of your own choosing for maintenance, repair, or replacement.
  • Page 22 RIDING THE VEHICLE Pre-Ride Check List ✔ ITEM OPERATION BODY INCLUDING SEAT, FOOTRESTS, Check condition and remove snow or LIGHTS, AIR FILTER, ice. CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS SKIS AND STEERING Check for free movement and proper ACTION operation. FUEL AND INJECTION Check for proper level and no leaks.

  • Page 23: How To Ride

    RIDING THE VEHICLE How to Ride Riding Gear Proper snowmobile clothing should be worn. It should be comfort- able and not too tight. Always check the weather forecast before go- ing on a ride. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal un- derwear next to the skin also provides a good insulation.
  • Page 24 RIDING THE VEHICLE body weight to help it turn in the desired direction. Operator and passenger must never attempt this maneuvering by placing feet outside of the vehicle. Experience will teach you how much lean to put into turns at different speeds and how much you will have to lean into a slope to maintain proper balance.
  • Page 25 RIDING THE VEHICLE Posting A semi-sitting position with the body off the seat and the feet under the body in a sort of squatting posture, thus allowing the legs to absorb the shocks when traveling over uneven terrain. Avoid abrupt stops.
  • Page 26 RIDING THE VEHICLE fmo2008-003-003 Standing Place both feet on the running boards. Knees should be flexed to absorb the shock from surface bumps. This is an effective position to see better and to shift weight as conditions dictate. Avoid abrupt stop.

  • Page 27: Carrying A Passenger

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Rider Position (Reverse Operation) We recommend sitting on your snowmobile when operating in reverse. Avoid standing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever while operating in reverse, causing an unexpected acceleration. WARNING Unexpected acceleration when snowmobile operates in re- verse can cause a loss of control.
  • Page 28 Riding with a Child On snowmobiles allowing two passengers (with optional seat), if you have an adult and a child for passenger, BRP recommends that the child sits in the center location. This allows an adult sitting in the rear seat to keep a visual contact with the child and hold him if necessary.

  • Page 29: Terrain/Riding Variations

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Terrain/Riding Variations Groomed Trail On a maintained trail, sitting is the most preferred riding position. Do not race and, above all, keep to the right hand side of the trail. Be pre- pared for the unexpected. Observe all trail signs. Do not zigzag from one side of the trail to the other.
  • Page 30 RIDING THE VEHICLE snowmobile on ice or icy surfaces can be very dangerous if you do not observe certain precautions. The very nature of ice is foreign to good control of a snowmobile or any vehicle. Traction for starting, turning or stopping is much less than that on snow. Thus, these distances can be multiplied manyfold.
  • Page 31 RIDING THE VEHICLE Side Hill When crossing a side hill or traversing up or downhill, certain proce- dures must be followed. All riders should lean towards the slope as required for stability. The preferred operating positions are the kneel- ing position, with the knee of the down hill leg on the seat and the foot of the uphill leg on the running board, or the posting position.
  • Page 32 RIDING THE VEHICLE Fog or Whiteout Conditions On land or water, fog or visibility-limiting snow can form. If you have to proceed into the fog or heavy snow, do so slowly with your lights on and watch intently for hazards. If you are not sure of your way, do not proceed.
  • Page 33 RIDING THE VEHICLE Obstacles and Jumping Unplanned jumps of snowdrifts, snowplow ridges, culverts or indis- tinguishable objects can be dangerous. You can avoid them by wear- ing the proper color lenses or face shields and by operating at a lower speed.
  • Page 34 RIDING THE VEHICLE fmo2008-003-005 Road Crossing In some cases, you will be approaching the road from a ditch or snowbank. Choose a place where you know you can climb without difficulty. Use the standing position and proceed with only as much speed needed to crest the bank.

  • Page 35: Environment

    RIDING THE VEHICLE rivers and lakes. Guy wires, barbed wire fences, cabled road en- trances and other objects such as tree limbs are difficult to see at night. Never drive alone. Always carry a flashlight. Keep away from residential areas and respect the right of others to sleep. Riding in a Group Before starting out, designate a “trail boss”...

  • Page 37 RIDING THE VEHICLE The fundamental objective of Light Treading is one of respect for where and how you ride a snowmobile. You're a light treader when you follow the principles below. Become informed. Obtain maps, regulations and other information from the Forest Service or from other public land agencies. Learn the rules and follow them and that goes for speed limits, too! Avoid running over young trees, shrubs, and grasses and don't cut wood.

    WARNING You may stud the track on this vehicle model. However, you MUST only use the BRP approved type stud for use on these Lynx snowmobiles. DO NOT EVER use conventional studs as the track thickness is thinner then other standard tracks. The stud could tear off of track and separate from vehicle.
  • Page 40 TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS ski runners are adequate, they don’t necessarily give you optimal control, since that depends on your personal preferences, your riding style, and how your suspension is adjusted. WARNING If the front and rear of the snowmobile are out of balance due to an incorrect combination of traction enhancing products, the snowmobile may tend to oversteer or understeer, which could lead to a loss of control.
