FOREWORD

Congratulations on your purchase of a new SKI-DOO snowmobile.
Your Grand Touring SE is backed by the Bombardier warranty and a
network of authorized Ski-Doo snowmobile dealers ready to provide
the parts, service or accessories you may require.

Your dealer is committed to your satisfaction. He has taken training
to perform the initial set-up and inspection of your snowmobile as
well as completed the final adjustment required to suit your specific
weight and riding environment before you took possession. At deliv-
ery, your dealer would have explained the snowmobile controls and
provided you with a brief explanation of the various suspension ad-
justments. We trust you have taken full advantage of this! If you
need more complete servicing information, please ask your dealer
about the proper model-year Ski-Doo 

Shop Manual.

At delivery, you were also informed of the warranty coverage and
completed the Warranty Registration Form which is to be sent to us
for processing. In the near future you should be receiving a warranty
card which will confirm our receipt of the registration as well as be
used for warranty or recall purposes.

You are invited to contact our customer service staff should you ex-
perience problems which cannot be resolved by your dealer.

It is understood that this guide may be translated into another lan-
guage. In the event of any discrepancy, the English version shall pre-
vail.
