NOTICE
The snowmobile has to be stored in a cool and dry place and cov-
ered with an opaque but ventilated tarpaulin. This will prevent sun rays and
grime from affecting plastic components and vehicle finish.
Engine Storage Mode
(E-TEC)
Like other engines, the 600 HO E-TEC
has to be properly lubricated at stor-
age for internal parts protection. The
E-TEC system offers a built-in engine
storage lubrication function (summer-
ization) that can be initiated by the op-
erator.
To engage procedure, do the following:
1. Place the vehicle in a w e ll ventilated
area.
2. Start the engine and let it run at idle
speed until it reaches its operat-
ing temperature (watch the coolant
temperature on the display or verify
the rear heat exchanger becomes
warm).
3. Push the SET (S) button to select
odometer mode.
