Use of fuel containing alcohol above the
percentage specified by government reg-
ulations 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 system
abnormalities if you suspect the
presence of alcohol in gasoline
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 problems or
engine damage.
Recommended Fuel

IMUM 10% ethanol. The gasoline must
have the following minimum octane

Engine Break-In
The engine requires a short break-in
period
(approximately
hours) before being subjected to heavy
load conditions or full-throttle operation.
Strict adherence to the break-in proce-
dure will contribute to optimum perfor-
mance and longevity of the engine.
During break-in, a maximum of 1/2
throttle is recommended; however, brief
full-throttle accelerations and variations
in driving speeds contribute to good
engine break-in. After the 10 hour break-
in period, the snowmobile may be taken
to an authorized BRP Snowmobile dealer
for a checkup and oil change. This ser-
vice is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
