Spark Plug
This snowmobile comes equipped with a
specified spark plug. See the specifica-
tions chart for the correct spark plug. To
help prevent cold weather fouling, make
sure to thoroughly warm up the engine
before operating.
To maintain a hot, strong spark, keep the
plug free of carbon.
Before removing the spark plug, be sure
to clean the area around the spark plug. If
you do not, dirt could enter engine when
removing or installing the spark plug.
Adjust the gap to specified amount (see
Specifications chart on page 39) for
proper ignition. Use a feeler gauge to
check the gap.
When installing the spark plug, be sure to
tighten it securely. A new spark plug
should be tightened 1/2 turn once the
washer contacts the cylinder head. A
used spark plug should be tightened
1/8-1/4 turn once the washer contacts the
cylinder head.
Braking
The following items are items that the
operator must be familiar with when
operating this snowmobile and its
hydraulic brake system.
1. Use the brakes wisely. Each time the
brakes are applied in all hydraulic
brake systems, heat is transferred to
the brake fluid.
2. Be sure to maintain the brake fluid at
the proper level and take care not to
get any moisture in the system as
moisture in the brake fluid lowers the
boiling point. If the brake fluid is ever
boiled (by high speed stops or repeti-
tive use) or if moisture is allowed to
enter the system, it must be changed.
Never substitute or mix different types
or grades of brake fluid.
Use only BRP approved DOT 4 brake
fluid. Never substitute or mix differ-
ent types or grades of brake fluid.
Brake loss can result. Check brake
fluid level and pad wear before each
use. Brake loss can result in severe
injury or even death.
3. Never ride the brake. Even main-
taining minimal pressure on the
brake lever will cause the brake pads
to drag on the disc and may overheat
the brake fluid.
4. The brake lever lock is not a parking
brake and should not be applied for
periods
NEVER OPERATE THE SNOW-
MOBILE WITH THE BRAKE
ATV0052B
LEVER LOCK ENGAGED.
The brake lever lock is not a parking
brake and should not be applied for
periods exceeding 5 minutes. The
brake lever lock maintains the brake
lever in the compressed position and
maintains pressure against the brake
disc; however, after a period of time,
the pressure applied to the brake
disc may relax below the amount
required to hold the snowmobile sta-
tionary.
5. Pumping the brake lever is permissible;
however, if pumping the brake lever
more than twice is necessary to obtain
the necessary stopping power, immedi-
ately take the snowmobile to an autho-
rized BRP Snowmobile dealer for
service. If not under warranty, this ser-
vice is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
6. When new brake pads are installed,
a "burnishing" process is required.
