STORAGE
During summer, or when a snowmobile is not in use for more
than three months, proper storage is necessary.
Storage
Clean the vehicle
Add fuel stabilizer to fuel following the product manufac-
turer recommendations.
Run the engine after adding the product to the fuel
Lubricate engine
Lubricate brake lever pivot
Lubricate rear suspension
Charge battery monthly to keep it fully charged during
storage (on models with electric starter)
Block muffler outlet with rags
Lift rear of vehicle until track is clear of the ground. Do not
release track tension
CAUTION
Use appropriate lifting device or have assistance to share
lifting stress. If a lifting device is not used, use proper lifting
techniques, notably using your legs force. Do not attempt to
lift the rear of vehicle if it is above your limits.
NOTICE The snowmobile has to be stored in a cool and dry
place and covered with an opaque but ventilated tarpaulin.
This will prevent sun rays and grime from affecting plastic
components and vehicle finish.
NOTICE Fuel stabilizer should be added prior to engine
lubrication to ensure carburetor protection against varnish
deposits.
Engine Storage Mode
Like other engines, the E-TEC has to be properly lubricated at
storage for internal parts protection. The E-TEC system offers
a built-in engine storage lubrication function (summerization)
that can be initiated by the operator.
