Page 12: Introduction
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your snowmobile. Please contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer for further details. Finally, we urge you to visit an authorized SKI-DOO dealer periodically for regular and safety maintenance, as well as snowmobile accessories you may require.
Page 13: Important Basic Safety Measures
IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY MEASURES Training Basic training is required for the safe operation of any snowmo- bile. Study your Operator's Guide paying particular attention to cautions and warnings. Join your local snowmobile club: its so- cial activities and trail systems are planned for both fun and safety. Obtain basic instructions from your snowmobile dealer, friend, fel- low club member or enroll in your state or provincial safety training program.
Page 14 Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and by- standers. Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers per- formed by professional riders under ideal and/or controlled condi- tions. You should never attempt any such risky maneuvers if they are beyond your level of riding ability. Never ride after consuming drugs or alcohol or if you feel tired or ill.
Page 15 Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be haz- ardous. You could run out of fuel, have an accident, or damage your snowmobile. Remember, your snowmobile is capable of traveling further in half an hour than you may be able to walk in a day.
Page 16 Ensure the path behind is clear of obstacles or bystanders before proceeding in reverse. Do not leave your keys in the ignition switch, it is an invitation to thieves and a danger to young children. Raising the rear of your snowmobile while the engine is running could cause snow, ice or debris to be thrown back at an observer.
Page 17 Fuel Always stop the engine before refueling. Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Always work in a well-venti- lated area. Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the vicinity. Open cap slowly. If a differential pressure condition is no- ticed (whistling sound heard when loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle inspected and/or repaired before further operation.
Page 18: Laws And Regulations
LAWS AND REGULATIONS Know your local laws. Federal, state, provincial and local government agencies have enact- ed laws and regulations pertaining to the safe use and operation of snowmobiles. It is your responsibility as a snowmobiler to learn and obey these laws and regulations. Respect and observance will re- sult in safer snowmobiling for all.
Page 19: Riding The Vehicle
RIDING THE VEHICLE Before venturing on the trails, operate the snowmobile in a restricted flat area until you are completely familiar with its operation and feel comfortable that you can safely tackle a more demanding task. Have an enjoyable and safe ride. Principle of Operation Propulsion Depressing throttle lever increases engine RPM causing the drive...
Page 20: How To Ride
Stopping Before riding your snowmobile, you should understand how to stop it. This is done by releasing the throttle and gradually depressing the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar. In an emergency, you may stop your vehicle by pressing the engine cut-out switch located near the throttle control and applying the brake.
Page 21 • tool kit (including at least pliers, screwdriver, adjustable wrench) • knife • flashlight. Include other items depending on the length and time of your ride. Riding Position Your riding position and balance are the two basic principles of mak- ing your snowmobile go where you want it to.
Page 22 Sitting Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat is an ideal po- sition when operating the snowmobile over familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and hips should remain flexible to absorb shocks. mmo2006-003-001 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.
Page 23 Kneeling This position is achieved by placing one foot firmly on the running board and the opposite knee on the seat. Avoid abrupt stops. mmo2006-003-003 _____ _____ SAFETY INFORMATION...
Page 24: Carrying A Passenger
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. mmo2006-003-004 Carrying a Passenger Certain snowmobiles are designed for an operator only, others can allow one passenger only, and others can allow up to two passen- gers.
Page 25 On snowmobiles allowing two passengers, 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. In addition, the child is best protected against the wind and cold temperature if seated in the center location.
Page 26: Terrain/Riding Variations
For complete information on how to adjust the suspension, please refer to the section of this Operator’s Guide entitled SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENTS under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS and to the rel- evant label on the belt guard. Use extra caution and go even more slowly with young passengers. Check frequently to make certain the child has a firm grip and is prop- erly positioned with his feet on the running boards.
Page 27 Frozen Water Traveling frozen lakes and rivers can be fatal. Avoid waterways. If you are in an unfamiliar area, ask the local authorities or residents about the ice condition, inlets, outlets, springs, fast moving currents or other hazards. Never attempt to operate your snowmobile on ice that may be too weak to support you and the vehicle.
Page 28 Downhill Downhill driving requires that you have full control of your vehicle at all times. On steeper hills, keep your center of gravity low and both hands on the handlebar. Maintain slight throttle pressure and allow the machine to run downhill with the engine operating. If a higher than safe speed is reached, slow down by braking but apply the brake with frequent light pressure.
Page 29 Bright Sunshine Bright sunny days can considerably reduce your vision. The glare from sun and snow may blind you to the extent that you cannot easily distinguish ravines, ditches or other obstacles. Goggles with colored lenses should always be worn under these conditions. Unseen Obstruction There may be obstructions hidden beneath the snow.
Page 30 Turning Depending on terrain conditions, there are two preferred ways to turn or corner a snowmobile. For most snow surfaces, “body eng- lish” is the key to turning. Leaning towards the inside of the turn and positioning body weight on the inside foot will create a “banking” condition beneath the track.
Page 31 Railroad Crossing Never ride on railroad tracks. It is illegal. Railroad tracks and railroad rights-of-way are private property. A snowmobile is no match for a train. When crossing a railroad track, stop, look and listen. Night Rides The amount of natural and artificial light at a given time can effect your ability to see or to be seen.
Page 32: Transporting And Towing
Trails and Signs Trail signs are used to control, direct or regulate the use of snowmo- biles on trails. Become familiar with all signs used in the area where you are snowmobiling. Transporting and Towing Follow transporting and towing instructions explained further in this guide.
Page 33: Traction Enhancing Products
TRACTION ENHANCING PRODUCTS NOTE: This section is applicable to snowmobiles equipped with a factory installed pre-studded Ice Series track or a track that as been approved by BRP for studs installation. Using more positive carbide ski runners and traction enhancing prod- ucts (Ice Series tracks or approved studded tracks) on your snowmo- bile will change its behavior, particularly in terms of manoeuvrability, acceleration, and braking.
Page 34 Oversteering In certain conditions, using more positive carbide ski runners without traction enhancing products could make the snowmobile prone to oversteering, see illustration. OVERSTEERING _____ _____ SAFETY INFORMATION...
Page 35 Understeering In certain conditions, the use of traction enhancing products could make the snowmobile prone to understeering if the skis are not equipped with more positive carbide runners, see illustration. UNDERSTEERING _____ _____ SAFETY INFORMATION...
Page 36 Controlled Driving A balanced combination of carbide ski runners and traction enhancing products ensures adequate control and better handling, see illustra- tion. CONTROLLED DRIVING Acceleration Using traction enhancing products will allow your sled to accelerate better on packed snow and ice but will have no noticeable effect on soft snow.
Page 37 Braking As in the case of acceleration, using traction enhancing products will give you better braking capacity on packed snow or ice but will have no noticeable effect on soft snow. Braking may thus vary suddenly under certain conditions. Be sure to use restraint in braking to keep from blocking the track in order to avoid surprises that could lead to a loss of control.
Page 38 CAUTION: Ask your dealer for the appropriate tunnel protectors model and kit number required for your snowmobile. NOTE: Consult the BRP limited warranty to find out what warranty limitations are related to the use of studs. Installation of Studs on BRP Approved Tracks WARNING Never stud a track that has not been approved for studs.
Page 39 INSTALLATION OF STUDS 1. Stud size 2. Penetration range 6.4 to 9.5 mm (1/4 to 3/8 in) 3. Track lug height 4. Track belt thickness WARNING – Studs should only be installed in the locations indicated by molded bulges in the track surface. –...
Page 40 – bent studs (studded tracks) – missing studs – studs that are torn off the track – missing track guide(s). On Ice Series pre-studded tracks, broken or missing studs can not be replaced. On approved studded tracks, replace broken or damaged studs im- mediately.
Page 41: Safety Labeling
Ensure all such labeling is retained on the vehicle and its content is followed by vehicle operator and passenger. If missing or damaged, the decals can be replaced free of charge. See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. Please read the following instructions carefully before operating this snowmobile.

ENVIRONMENT INFORMATION __________________________...
Page 60: General
GENERAL Wildlife compliments your snowmobiling day. Snowmobile tracks provide firm ground over which animals can travel from area to area. Do not violate this privilege by chasing or harassing wildlife. Fatigue and exhaustion can lead to animal's death. Avoid areas posted for the protection or feeding of wildlife.
Page 61 Light Treading refers to more than the thread of our tracks. It's a statement of concern, respect and willingness to take the lead and take action. It applies to the environment in general, its proper care and maintenance, its natural inhabitants and all enthusiasts and the public at large who enjoy the great outdoors.
Page 62: Just What Is Light Treading
JUST WHAT IS LIGHT TREADING? 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.
Page 63: Why Is Light Treading Smart
Finally, Light Treading is the sign of a smart snowmobiler. You don't have to leave big tracks or careen through a virgin forest to show you can ride. So whether you're driving a high performance Ski-Doo, a sporty MX-Z snowmobile or any other make or model, show you know what you're doing.

Page 130: Track
42) Track Depending on the model of snowmobile that you own, your vehicle may come with an Ice Series pre-studded track, a track for which the manufacturer permits the installation of studs or a track for which the manufacturer forbids it. Tracks approved for the installation of studs have a stud symbol (see illustration) molded into the track surface, and tracks not approved bear a forbidden stud symbol (see illustration).
Page 131 CAUTION: Running those tracks at high speed in a trail, on hard packed surfaces or ice put more stress on the lugs, which tend to heat up as a result. To avoid potential degradation or damage to the track, reduce your speed, then minimize the distance you ride on those surfaces.
