The information and component/system descrip-
tions contained in this manual are correct at time
of publication. Bombardier Inc. however, main-
tains a policy of continuous improvement of its
products without imposing upon itself any obliga-
tion to install them on products previously manu-
factured.
Due to late changes, it may have some differences

ILLUSTRATIONS AND
PROCEDURES
Illustrations and photos show the typical construc-
tion of the different assemblies and, in all cases,
may not reproduce the full detail or exact shape of
the parts shown, however, they represent parts
which have the same or a similar function.
CAUTION: Most components of those vehicles
are built with parts dimensioned in the metric
system. Most fasteners are metric and must
not be replaced by customary fasteners or vice-
versa. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners could
cause damage to the vehicle or possible per-
sonal injury.
As many of the procedures in this manual are in-
terrelated, we suggest, that before undertaking
any task, you read and thoroughly understand the
entire section or subsection in which the proce-
dure is contained.
A number of procedures throughout the book re-
quire the use of special tools. Before commencing
any procedure, be sure that you have on hand all
the tools required, or approved equivalents.
The use of RIGHT and LEFT indications in the text,
always refers to driving position (when sitting on
vehicle).
SELF-LOCKING FASTENERS
PROCEDURE
The following describes the most common appli-
cation procedures when working with self-locking
fasteners.
Use a metal brush or a screwtap to clean the hole
properly then use a solvent (Methyl-Chloride), let
act during 30 minutes and wipe off. The solvent
utilization is to ensure the adhesive works properly.
LOCTITE APPLICATION
PROCEDURE
The following describes the most common appli-
cation procedures when working with Loctite
products.
