GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing 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. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly, and you
can quickly be overcome and unable
to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can linger for hours
or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning,
leave the area immediately, get fresh
air and seek medical treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide:
Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas
such as garages, carports or barns.
Even if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open windows
and doors, carbon monoxide can
rapidly reach dangerous levels.
Never run the vehicle outdoors
where engine exhaust can be drawn
into a building through openings
such as windows and doors.
________
Accessories and
Modifications
Do not make unauthorized modifications, or use attachments or accessories that are not approved by BRP.
Since these changes have not been
tested by BRP, they may increase the
risk of crashes or injuries, and they can
make the vehicle illegal.
Accessory passenger seats approved
by BRP and conforming to SSCC standards may be available for certain models. If such a seat is used, you must
follow the guidelines and recommendations in regards to a passenger in
this guide.
WARNING
Passenger seat must have a strap
or handholds and must meet SSCC
standards.
See your authorized Ski-Doo dealer for
available accessories for your vehicle.

SAFETY INFORMATION
________
Speeding can be fatal. In many cases, you cannot react or respond quickly
enough to the unexpected. Always ride at a speed which is suitable to the trail,
weather conditions and your own ability. Know your local rules. Speed limit
may be in effect and meant to be observed.
Always keep right hand side of the trail.
Always keep a safe distance from other snowmobiles and bystanders.
Remember, promotional material may show risky maneuvers performed by
professional riders under ideal and/or controlled conditions. You should never
attempt any such risky maneuvers if they are beyond your level of riding ability.
Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol. They slow reaction time and impair
judgement.
Your snowmobile is not designed to be operated on public streets, roads or highways.
Avoid road traveling. If you must do so, and it is permitted, reduce 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
angle. Be wary of parked vehicles.
Snowmobiling at night can be a delightful experience but because of reduced
visibility, be extra cautious. Avoid unfamiliar terrain and be sure your lights are
working. Always carry a flashlight and spare light bulbs.
Never remove any original equipment from your snowmobile. Each vehicle
has many built in safety features. Such features include various guards and
consoles, plus reflective materials and safety labels.
Nature is wonderful but don't let it distract your attention from driving. If you
want to truly appreciate winter's scenery, stop your snowmobile on the side of
the trail so that you don't become a hazard to others.
Fences represent a very serious threat for both you and your snowmobile. Give
a wide berth to telephone poles or posts.
Hidden wires unseen from a distance can cause serious accidents.
Always wear an approved safety helmet, eye protection and a face shield. This
also applies to your passenger.
Be aware of inherent risks associated with riding off trails, such as avalanche
and other natural or man made hazards or obstacles.
Tailgating another snowmobile should be avoided. If the snowmobile in front of
you slows for any reason, its operator and passenger could be harmed through
your neglect. Maintain a safe stopping distance between you and the snowmobile in front of you. Depending on the terrain condition, stopping may require a
little more space than you think. Play it safe. Be prepared to use evasive driving.
Venturing out alone with your snowmobile could also be hazardous. 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. Use the buddy system. Always ride with a friend or member
of your snowmobile club. Even then, tell someone where you are going and the
approximate time you plan to return.
Meadows sometimes have low areas where water accumulate and freezes
over in winter. This ice is usually glare ice. Attempting 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. If you do happen to travel over such a
condition, reduce speed by carefully releasing the throttle.

Sport Mode
In sport mode, maximum engine
power is available throughout the engine operational range.
Refer to OPERATING MODES subsection for detailed instructions.
Learning Key Modes
The Ski-Doo TM learning key limits the
torque and speed of the snowmobile
therefore enabling first time users and
less experienced operators to learn
how to operate the snowmobile while
gaining the necessary confidence and
control.
Limitations
The ability of a novice to operate the
snowmobile can be exceeded even
when a learning key is used.
Refer to OPERATING MODES subsection for details.
ECO Mode
When ECO mode is selected (fuel
economy mode), vehicle torque and
speed are limited whereby an optimal
cruising speed is maintained in order
to reduce fuel consumption.
Refer to OPERATING MODES subsection for detailed instructions.
Standard Mode
In standard mode, acceleration is reduced when accelerating from a complete stop and when operating in the
low vehicle speed range under certain
conditions.

How to Ride
Riding Gear
Proper snowmobile clothing should
be worn. It should be comfortable
and not too tight. Always check the
weather forecast before going on a
ride. Dress for the coldest weather
expected. Thermal underwear next to
the skin also provides a good insulation.
Wear an approved helmet at all times
for safety and comfort. They provide both warmth and reduce injury.
A stocking type cap, balaclava and
face mask should always be carried
or worn. Goggles or a face shield that
attach to the helmet are indispensable.

Feet on the running boards, body midway back on seat is an ideal position
when operating the snowmobile over
familiar, smooth terrain. Knees and
hips should remain flexible to absorb
shocks.

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.
WARNING
Any passenger must be able to
firmly lay his feet on the footrests
and keep his hands on the handholds or seat strap at all times
when seated. Respecting those
physical criteria is important to ensure that the passenger is stable
and to reduce the risks of ejection.
The operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his passenger and
should inform the passenger about
snowmobiling basics.
WARNING
mmo2008-003-004
WARNING
Unexpected acceleration when
snowmobile operates in reverse
can cause a loss of control.
Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed
for an operator only (1-UP), and others
can allow one passenger (2-UP). Make
sure to identify and respect the warnings according to your specific models.
Even when a passenger is allowed,
this person must be physically fit for
snowmobiling.

SAFETY INFORMATION
________
WARNING
When riding with a passenger:
Braking ability and steering
control are reduced. Decrease
speed and allow extra space to
maneuver.
Adjust suspension according to
weight.
For complete information on how to
adjust the suspension, please refer to
the TUNE YOUR RIDE subsection.
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. In addition, the child is best
protected against the wind and cold
temperature if seated in the center location.
Use extra caution and go even more
slowly with a young passenger. Check
frequently to make certain the child has
a firm grip and is properly positioned
with his feet on the running boards.
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 prepared
for the unexpected. Observe all trail
signs. Do not zigzag from one side of
the trail to the other.
________
Ungroomed Trail
Unless there has been a fresh snowfall you can expect washboard and
snowdrift conditions. Taken at excessive speeds, such conditions can be
physically harmful. Slow down. Hold
on the handlebar and assume a posting position. Feet should be under the
body assuming a crouched position to
absorb any jarring effect. On longer
stretches of washboard trails, the
kneeling position of one knee on the
seat can be adopted. This provides a
certain amount of comfort, while at the
same time keeps the body loose and
capable of vehicle control. Beware of
hidden rocks or tree stumps partially
hidden by a recent snowfall.
Deep Snow
In deep powder snow, your vehicle
could begin to bog down. If this occurs, turn in as wide an arc as possible
and look for a firmer base. If you do get
bogged, and it happens to everyone,
do not spin your track as this makes the
vehicle sink deeper. Instead, turn the
engine off, get off and move the back
of the vehicle onto new snow. Then
tramp a clear path ahead of the vehicle. A few feet will generally suffice.
Restart the engine. Assume the standing position and rock the vehicle gently
as you steadily and slowly apply the
throttle. Depending on whether the
front or rear end of the vehicle is sinking, your feet should be placed on the
opposing end of the running boards.
Never place foreign material beneath
the track for support. Do not allow anyone to stand in front of, or to the rear
of, the snowmobile with the engine
running. Stay away from the track.
Personal injury will result if contact is
made with the revolving track.
SAFETY INFORMATION
________
17
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. Operating
a 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. Steering is minimal,
and uncontrolled spins are an ever
present danger. When operating on
ice, drive slowly with caution. Allow
yourself plenty of room for stopping
and turning. This is especially true at
night.
Hard Packed Snow
Don't underestimate hard packed
snow. It can be difficult to negotiate
as both skis and track do not have as
much traction. Best advice is to slow
down and avoid rapid acceleration,
turning or braking.
Uphill
There are two types of hills you can encounter the open hill on which there
are few trees, cliffs or other obstacles,
and a hill that can only be climbed directly. On an open hill, the approach is
to climb it by side hilling or slaloming.
Approach at an angle. Adopt a kneeling
position. Keep your weight on the uphill side at all times. Maintain a steady,
safe speed. Continue as far as you can
in this direction, then switch to an opposite hill angle and riding position.

SAFETY INFORMATION
________
Avalanche Hazard
When riding on mountainous terrain,
you should be aware of the risk of
avalanches. Avalanches vary in size
and shapes and generally occur in
steep terrain and on unstable snow.
New snow, animals, people, wind
and snowmobiles can all trigger
an avalanche. Avoid high marking
or traversing steep terrain when
avalanche conditions are possible.
When in unstable snow conditions,
travel should be restricted to lower
angle slopes. Wind formed cornices
should be avoided. Staying off unstable conditions is the key to safe
mountain riding. Probably most important is to be aware of the conditions
and dangers on a daily basis when in
the mountains. Check local avalanche
forecasts and threats each day before
heading out to ride and heed forecasters advice.
You should always carry a snow shovel,
probe and avalanche beacon while riding on mountains. We recommend
that all mountain riders take a local avalanche safety training course
to become more familiar with snow
conditions and learn how to properly
use their equipment.
Here are some web sites that can help
you finding important information:
US: www.avalanche.org
Europe: www.avalanches.org
Canada: www.avalanche.ca
Slush
Slush should be avoided at all times.
Always check for slush before starting
across any lake or river. If dark spots
appear in your tracks, get off the ice
immediately. Ice and water can be
thrown rearward into the path of a following snowmobile. Getting a vehicle
out of a slush area is strenuous and in
some cases, impossible.
________
SAFETY INFORMATION
________
19
Hidden Wires
Always be on the lookout for hidden
wires, especially in areas that may
have been farmed at one time or another. Too many accidents have been
caused by running into wires in the
fields, guy wires next to poles and
roads, and into chains and wires used
as road closures. Slow speeds are a
must.
Obstacles and Jumping
Unplanned jumps of snowdrifts, snowplow ridges, culverts or indistinguishable objects can be dangerous. You
can avoid them by wearing the proper
color lenses or face shields and by operating at a lower speed.
Jumping a snowmobile is an unsafe
and dangerous practice. However, if
the trail does suddenly drop away from
you, crouch (stand) towards the rear
of the vehicle and keep the skis up
and straight ahead. Apply partial throttle and brace yourself for the impact.
Knees must be flexed to act as shock
absorbers.
Turning
Depending on terrain conditions, there
are two preferred ways to turn or corner a snowmobile. For most snow
surfaces, body english 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. By
adopting this position and positioning
yourself as far forward as possible,
weight will be transferred to the inside
ski.
On occasion, you will find that the only
way to turn the vehicle about in deep
snow is to pull the snowmobile around.
Do not over-exert yourself. Get assistance. Remember to always lift using
your legs as opposed to your back.
20
_______
mmo2008-003-005
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. Stop completely at the top
of the bank and wait for all traffic to
clear. Judge the drop to the roadway.
Cross the road at a 90 angle. If you encounter another snowbank on the opposite side, position your feet near the
rear of the vehicle. Remember, your
snowmobile is not designed to operate on bare pavement and steering on
this type of surface is more difficult.
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.
Before 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. Nighttime
snowmobiling is delightful. It can be
a unique experience if you acknowledge your reduced visibility. Before
you start, make certain your lights
are clean and work properly. Drive
at speeds that will allow you to stop
in time when you see an unknown or
dangerous object ahead. Stay on es-

Environment
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.
If you happen to be fortunate enough
to see an animal, stop your snowmobile and observe quietly.
The guidelines that we support are not
designed to limit your snowmobiling
fun, but to preserve the beautiful freedom that you can experience only on
a snowmobile! These guidelines will
keep snowmobilers healthy, happy and
able to introduce others to what they
know and enjoy about their favorite
winter pastime. So, the next time you
hit the trails on a cool, crisp and clear
winter day, we ask you to remember
that you are paving the way for the future of our sport. Help us lead it down
the right path! From all of us at BRP,
thank you for doing your share.
There is nothing more exhilarating than
snowmobiling. Venturing onto snowmobile trails that cross wild areas is
an exciting and healthy winter sport.
However, as the number of people using these recreational parks increases,
so does the potential for damage to the
environment. Abuse of land, facilities
and resources inevitably leads to restrictions and closures of both private
and public land.

WARNING
Never stud a track that has not
been approved for studs. Installing studs on an unapproved
track could increase the risk of the
track tearing or severing.
WARNING
You may stud the track on this vehicle model. However, you MUST
only use the BRP approved type
stud for use on these Ski-Doo
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. See an authorized
Ski-Doo dealer for current specific
studding availability and applications.
Using traction enhancing products
such as, more aggressive ski carbide
runners and/or studs on your snowmobile will change its behavior, particularly in terms of manoeuvrability,
acceleration, and braking.
Using traction enhancing products
gives a better grip on packed snow
and ice, but has no noticeable effect
on soft snow. For this reason, driving
a snowmobile equipped with traction
enhancing products requires a certain
adaptation period. If your snowmobile
is equipped with traction enhancing
products, be sure to take plenty of time
to get used to the way it handles when
turning, accelerating, and braking.
Also, always check local regulations
concerning the use of traction enhancing products on snowmobiles. Always
24
_______
Manoeuvrability
Using traction enhancing products
such as, more aggressive ski carbide
runners and/or studs makes the snowmobile grip the ground better at both
the front and at the rear. The use of
carbide runners is therefore required
to give the skis a better grip, so that the
front and rear of the snowmobile are
in balance. While off-the-shelf carbide
ski runners are adequate, they dont
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.
Oversteering
In certain conditions, using more aggressive ski carbide runners without
studs on the rear track could make the
snowmobile prone to oversteering,
see illustration.

OVERSTEERING
SAFETY INFORMATION
________
Understeering
In certain conditions, the use of studs
on the track could make the snowmobile prone to understeering if the skis
are not equipped with more aggressive
ski carbide runners, see illustration.
WARNING
To prevent surprises that could
lead to a loss of control of the
snowmobile:
Always go easy on the throttle.
NEVER try to spin the track to
make the rear of the snowmobile skid.
This could cause debris or ice to be
thrown violently backwards, possibly injuring others nearby or on
snowmobiles behind you.

25
Effects of Having a
Studded Track on the
Life of the Snowmobile
The use of traction enhancing products
can increase the load and the stress on
certain snowmobile components, as
well as the vibration level. This can
cause premature wear on parts such
as belts, brake linings, bearings, chain,
chaincase sprocket, and on approved
studded tracks, shorten track life. Always proceed with a visual inspection of your track before each use. For
more information, refer to the TRACK
section in MAINTENANCE.
Studs on the track can also cause serious damage to your snowmobile if
it is not equipped with the tunnel protectors designed for your particular
model. Damage to the electrical wiring
or perforation of the heat exchangers
are potential hazards, that could cause
the engine to overheat and be severely
damaged.
WARNING
If tunnel protectors are excessively
worn or not installed, the gas tank
could be punctured, causing a fire.
NOTICE Ask your dealer for the
appropriate tunnel protectors model
and kit number required for your
snowmobile.
Installation of Studs on
BRP Approved Tracks
WARNING
Never stud a track that has not
been approved for studs. Approved tracks can be identified by
a stud symbol (see illustration below) molded into the track surface.
Installing studs on an unapproved
track could increase the risk of the
track tearing or severing.

_______
SAFETY INFORMATION
________
WARNING
See an authorized Ski-Doo
dealer for current specific studding availability and applications.
DO NOT EVER use conventional
stud because, the track thickness is thinner then our standard tracks and the stud could
tear off of track and separate
from vehicle.
Studs should only be installed
in the locations indicated by
molded bulges in the track surface. Some track models have
two types of molded bulges;
triangles and circles. See the
warning molded into the track
surface to know which one to
use.
Never stud a track with a profile
of 35 mm (1-3/8 in) or more.
The number of studs installed
must always perfectly match
the pattern of molded bulges in
the track.
Always consult the traction
product manufacturers installation instructions and recommendations before having your
dealer install studs and runners.
It is very important to follow
the torque specifications for the
stud bolts.
INSTALLING AN INCORRECT
NUMBER OF STUDS OR AN IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF THE TRACK
TEARING OR SEVERING.
________
Maintenance/Replacement
PROCEED WITH A VISUAL INSPECTION OF YOUR TRACK BEFORE
EACH USE.
Look for any defects, such as:
Perforations in the track
Tears in the track (particularly
around traction holes on studded
tracks)
Lugs that are broken or torn off, exposing portions of rods
Delamination of the rubber
Broken rods
Broken studs (studded tracks)
Bent studs (studded tracks)
Missing studs
Studs that are torn off the track
Missing track guide(s)
Also, ensure that studs nut are
tighten to the recommended
torque.
On approved studded tracks, replace
broken or damaged studs immediately.
If your track shows signs of deterioration, it must be replaced immediately.
When in doubt, ask your dealer. Always proceed with a visual inspection
of your track before each use.
WARNING
Riding with a damaged track or
studs could lead to loss of control.

FUEL
Fuel Requirements
NOTICE Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss of octane, volatile compounds, and the production of gum
and varnish deposits which can
damage the fuel system.
Alcohol fuel blending varies by country and region. Your vehicle has been
designed to operate using the recommended fuels, however, be aware of
the following:
Use of fuel containing alcohol above
the percentage specified by government regulations 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
Use unleaded gasoline containing MAXIMUM 10% ethanol. The gasoline
must have the following minimum octane requirements.

Fuel Antifreeze Additives
When using oxygenated fuel, additional gas line antifreeze or water absorbing additives are not required and
should be not used.
When using non-oxygenated fuel, isopropyl base gas line antifreeze can
be used in a proportion of 150 ml
(5 U.S. oz) of gas line antifreeze added
to 40 L (10.6 U.S. gal.) of gas.
This precaution is in order to reduce
the risk of frost buildup in fuel system
components which may lead, in certain
cases, to severe damage to engine.
NOTE: Use only methyl hydrate free
gas line antifreeze.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Operation During Break-In
A break-in period of 10 operating hours
or 500 km (300 mi) is required for the
vehicle.
After the break-in period, the vehicle
should be inspected by an authorized
Ski-Doo dealer. Refer to MAINTENANCE section.
Engine
During the break-in period:
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation.
Avoid sustained accelerations.
Avoid prolonged cruising speeds.
Avoid engine overheating.
However, brief accelerations and
speed variations contribute to a good
break-in.
During the first few hours of break-in,
the engine management system controls some engine parameters which
will slightly reduce the engine performance.
E- T E C M o d e ls
During a predetermined period, the
engine management system controls
some engine parameters.
The duration is based on fuel volume.
It will take approximately two fuel
tanks to complete the break-in.
During this period:
The engine performance and behavior will not be optimal.
The fuel and oil consumption will be
higher.
Drive Belt
A new drive belt requires a break in period of 50 km (30 mi).
During the break-in period:
Avoid strong acceleration and deceleration.
Avoid pulling a load.
Avoid high speed cruising.

SPECIAL OPERATION
Towing an Accessory
Always use a rigid tow bar to tow an accessory. Any towed accessory should
have reflectors on both sides and at the
rear. Check local laws for brake light(s)
requirements.
WARNING
Never tow an accessory with a
rope. Always use a rigid tow bar.
Using a rope would result in a collision between the object and the
snowmobile and possibly in a tip
over in case of a rapid deceleration
or on a downward slope.
Towing Another
Snowmobile
If a snowmobile is disabled and must
be towed use a rigid tow bar. Remove
the drive belt from disabled snowmobile, refer to DRIVE BELT in the MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES subsection
and tow at moderate speed.
NOTICE Always remove the drive
belt of the snowmobile that is to be
towed to prevent damage to its belt
and drive system.
In an emergency situation only, if a rigid
tow bar is not available, a rope can be
used. Proceed with extra caution. In
some areas, it may be illegal to do so.
Check with state or local authorities.
Remove the drive belt, attach the rope
to the ski legs (spindles), have someone sit on the towed snowmobile to activate the brake, and tow at low speed.

the amount of weight the center spring
has to carry especially during acceleration, therefore on the front end uplift.
Stopper strap length also has an effect
on center spring travel.
When operating the snowmobile in
deep snow or hill climbing, it may be
necessary to vary stopper strap length
and/or riding position, to change the
angle at which the track rides on the
snow. Operator's familiarity with the
various adjustments as well as snow
conditions will dictate the most efficient combination.

VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION
Make sure that oil reservoir and fuel
tank caps are properly installed.
Tilt bed trailers can easily be equipped
with a winch mechanism to afford maximum safety in loading. Simple as it
may seem, never drive your snowmobile onto a tilt bed trailer or any other
kind of trailer or vehicle. Many serious
accidents have resulted from driving
up and over a trailer. Anchor your vehicle securely, front and rear, even on
short hauls. Be certain all equipment is
securely fastened. Cover your snowmobile when trailering to prevent road
grime from causing damage.
Be certain your trailer meets state or
provincial requirements. Ensure the
hitch and safety chains are secure and
the brake, turn indicators and clearance lights all function.

The main components of your snowmobile (engine and frame) are identified by different identification numbers. It may sometimes become necessary to locate these numbers for
warranty purposes or to trace your
snowmobile in the event of loss.
These numbers are required by the
authorized Ski-Doo dealer to complete
warranty claims properly. No warranty
will be allowed by BRP if the engine
identification number or vehicle identification number (VIN) is removed or

Engine Emissions
Information
Manufacturer's Responsibility
Beginning with 2007 model year engines, snowmobile manufacturers of
snowmobile engines need to determine the exhaust emission levels for
each engine horsepower family and
certify these engines with the United
States of America Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An emissions
control information label, showing
emission levels and engine specifications, must be placed on each vehicle
at the time of manufacture.
Dealer's Responsibility
When performing service on a certified Ski-Doo snowmobiles that carry
an emissions control information label,
adjustments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission
related component must be executed
in a manner that maintains emission
levels within the prescribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the engine in
any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emission levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer's
prescribed changes, such as altitude
adjustments for example.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS/OWNERSHIP
If your address has changed or if you are the new owner of the Snowmobile, be
sure to notify BRP by either:
Mailing one of the change of address cards on the following pages
North America only: Calling at 715 848-4957 (USA) or 819 566-3366 (Canada)
Notifying an authorized Ski-Doo dealer.
In case of change of ownership, please join a proof that the former owner agreed
to the transfer.
Notifying BRP, even after the expiration of the limited warranty, is very important as
it enables BRP to reach the Snowmobile owner if necessary, like when safety recalls are initiated. It is the owners responsibility to notify BRP.
STOLEN UNITS: If your personal Snowmobile is stolen, you should notify BRP
or an authorized Ski-Doo dealer. We will ask you to provide your name, address,
phone number, the vehicle identification number and the date it was stolen.
