INTRODUCTION FOREWORD This Manual has been prepared by the Technical Information'Centerof Bombardier Limited, and contains the complete $eNioing of aU Ski-Doo snowmobiles for 1972~~ceptBlizzard and T'NT 400 snowmobiles. (Rlfer to code chart). The Shop Manual is not intended to replace the Owner's Manual. The latter is basic maintenance, driving hints and lor warnings and we strongly recommend thorough reading of it before undertaking any shop manual procedure. In addition, as many of the procedures in this Manual are interrelated, we also suggest that before undertaking any task, you read and thoroughly understand the entire section or subsection in which the procedure is contained. A number of procedures throughout the book require the use of special tools. Where a special tool is indicated, refer to section 5. Before commencing any procedure, be sure that you have on hand all of the tools required or approved equivalents. ARRANGEMENT OF THE MANUAL The Manual is divided into five (5) major Sections: (1) Suspension and Transmission, (2) Engine, (3) Electrical, (4) Body and Frame, (5) Special Tools. Each Section includes a general description of the system/component, replacement procedures, and adjustment/alignment instructions; all adequately supported by numerous illustrations. IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to carry out an entire procedure if your task can be completed by any of the intermediate steps. At any point, once you have accomplished your intentions, merely do the steps you have followed in reverse order to complete the assignment. The sequence of the Sections has been arranged to conform with the established format of the Bombardier Parts Catalogue, to assist the user in cross-referring. The Table of Contents on the first page of the Manual lists the Sections and Sub-sections, and indicates the general order of content. DEFINITION OF NUMBERING SYSTEMS The Manual makes use of a 3-part digital numbering system (Le. l-Ql-Ql), in which the first digit represents the Section (1), the second digit the Sub-section (1-01) and the third digit, the Page number (T-Ol-01L Figure numbers accompanying the illustrations utilize the same system (Le. 1-4-26L The first digit represents the Section (1), the second digit, the Sub-section (1-4) and the third digit, the Figure number (1-4-26). ILLUSTRATIONS The illustrations are conveniently located as close as possible to the written procedures and are meant to assist the user in identifying parts and components. In some, cases, however, depending on model, they may not show the exact relation or arrangement of parts, as space within the Manual does not permit. The figure shown is that which relates to the greatest number of models and servicing methods detailed. GENERAL All of the information, illustrations and component/system descriptions contained in this Manual are correct at time of publication. Bombardier Limited, however, maintains a policy of continuous improvement of its products without imposing upon itself any obligation to install them on products previously manufactured. IDENTI FICATION Warranty identification of the vehicle. The four first numbers indicate the year of the vehicle, the vehicle model and engine size. The remaining digits are actual serial numbers of production. (see code chart) Engine serial numbers are used for tracing and identification. The numbers on the track are serial numbers for production and identification purposes. All serial numbers become valuable in the event of warranty claims, loss, theft or dispute. They are prominently displayed and easy to locate. ~------ --
