ARRANGEMENT OF THIS
MANUAL, ILLUSTRATIONS
AND PROCEDURES
The manual is divided into many major sections as
you can see in the main table of contents at the
beginning of the manual.
Several sections are divided in various subsec-
tions. There is a table of contents at the beginning
of many sections.
The illustrations show the typical construction 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: These watercraft are designed with
parts dimensioned mostly in the metric sys-
tem. However some components may be from
the imperial system. When replacing fasten-
ers, make sure to use only those recommended
by BRP.
As many of the procedures in this manual are inter-
related, we suggest, that before undertaking any
task, you read and thoroughly understand the en-
tire section or subsection in which the procedure
is contained.
A number of procedures throughout the book re-
quire the use of special tools. Before undertaking
any procedure, be sure that you have on hand all
the tools required, or approved equivalents.

GENERAL 1
NOTE: When diagnosing an engine problem, al- 2
ways perform a cylinder leak test. This will help
pin-point a problem. Refer to the instructions in-
cluded with your leak tester and LEAK TEST for
procedures.
Always place the vehicle on level surface.
Always disconnect the negative wire from the bat-
tery before working on the engine.
Even if the removal of many parts is not neces-
sary to reach another part, it is recommended to
