  10 hours of operation — 500 km (300 miles) — or 30 days after the purchase, whichever comes first, your snowmobile be checked by an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. This inspection will also give you the opportunity to discuss the unanswered questions you may have encountered during the first hours of operation.

• Page 64: Pre-Operation Check

  • Check fuel and injection oil for levels and leaks. Replenish as nec- essary and see an authorized SKI-DOO dealer in case of any leaks. • Verify that air filter(s) is free of snow, if so equipped.

• Page 65: Pre-Operation Check List

  PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST ✔ ITEM OPERATION Track and idler wheels Check for free movement. Brake lever Check proper action. Parking device Check proper action. Throttle lever Check proper action. Switches and lights Check proper action. Gear shifter Check position. Skis and steering Check proper action.

• Page 66: Operating Instructions

  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Proceed with pre-operation check list before riding. Principle of Operation Propulsion Depressing throttle lever increases engine RPM causing the drive pulley to engage. For most models engine RPM must be between 2500 and 4200 before drive pulley engagement will occur. Outer sheave of drive pulley moves toward inner sheave, forcing drive belt to move upward on the drive pulley and simultaneously forcing the sheaves apart on the driven pulley.

• Page 67: Starting The Engine

  Starting the Engine WARNING Operator and passenger (if applicable) must be properly seat- ed before starting engine. Before Starting • Re-check throttle control lever operation. • Ensure that the engine cut-out switch is in the ON position. • Ensure the tether cut-out cap is in position and that the cord is attached to your clothing.

• Page 68
  Initial Cold Starting NOTE: Do not operate the throttle lever with the choke lever on. Move the choke lever to position 2 and start the engine. As soon as the engine starts move the lever to position 1. After a few seconds (10 seconds maximum) move the choke lever to OFF.

• Page 69: Emergency Starting

  Emergency Starting The engine can be started with the emergency starter rope supplied with the tool kit. Remove belt guard. WARNING Do not wind starting rope around your hand. Hold rope by the handle only. Do not start the snowmobile by the drive pulley unless it is a true emergency situation.
