MAINTENANCE
Extended Storage
Clutch and Drive System
Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. Do not lubricate
clutch components, except the driven clutch shaft bushing as outlined in
the Master Repair Manual. See your dealer.
Engine Protection
Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the
prevention of rust and corrosion on precision engine parts during
storage. Whenever the snowmobile is stored for a period of more than
60 days, the engine must be fogged with fogging oil. Follow the engine
fogging instructions provided on the container.
Always add Carbon Clean or a fuel conditioner/stabilizer to the fuel
tank. Follow the instructions on the container, running the engine for
five minutes to get additives through the entire fuel system. Top off with
fresh fuel. Do not allow the snowmobile to run out of fuel.
Electrical Connections
Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors. Be sure wiring
harness is properly secured away from sharp edges, steering linkage,
moving parts, and hot exhaust parts.
Track and Suspension
Moderate track tension should be maintained during summer storage.
The snowmobile should be supported off the ground to allow the track
to hang freely.
Transporting the Snowmobile
Whenever the snowmobile is transported:
1. Be sure the fuel cap and oil cap are installed correctly.
2. Tie the snowmobile to the transporting unit securely using suitable
straps.
3. Remove the ignition key to prevent loss.
