STORING PROCEDURE
It
is
during
Summer,
or
when a vehicle
is
not
in
use
for
a month
or
more, that
proper
storage is a necessity.
"Storage
of
the
Ski-Doo
snowmobile
dur-
ing long periods
of
inactivity consists of
checking and replacing missing
or
worn
parts: Proper lubrication
to
insure that
parts
do
not
become
rusted: Cleaning
items such as
carburetor
of oil gas
mix-
tures, to prevent gum varnish formation
within the carburetor; Battery recharging
(electric
models
only); and in general,
preparing the vehicle so that when the
time
comes
to use the
snowmobile
again
it will start and be in top
condition".
IMPORTANT: The necessity of
proper
storage cannot be overstressed. If you
lack the time
or
proper
tools, be sure to
see your authorized
Ski-Doo
Dealer.
