This publication governs all warranty labor allowances for 2004 Bombardier Snowmobiles.
1. HOW DOES IT WORK
We follow the procedures detailed in the Bombardier Snowmobiles Shop Manual. The flat rate time is the maximum
time allowed for a repair involving any given part. FLAT RATE TIME IS NOT CUMULATIVE. You must use the flat
rate time given for the longest lasting operation.
NOTE: The Flat Rate Time Schedule was prepared by skilled mechanics using the hand tool usually found in work-
shops and all the special tools mentioned in the Shop Manual.
2. COMPILATION
The Flat Rate Time Schedule is compiled as follows:
The actual required time to perform the repair plus (+) 30% correction factor up to 3.0 hours or (+) 15% over 3.0
hours time to take into account, among others:
– vehicle handling
– obtaining the parts
– diagnosis
– cleaning
– special compensation (rusted bolts).
