When storage procedure is com-
pleted, block muffler with clean rags.
Lift rear of vehicle until track is clear
of the ground. Install on a wide-base
snowmobile mechanical stand with a
rear deflector panel.
CAUTION Use appropriate lift-
ing device or have assistance to
share lifting stress. If a lifting de-
vice 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 lim-
its. Use appropriate lifting device
or have assistance to share lifting
stress if possible.
NOTE: Do not release track tension.
Protect the vehicle with an approved
cover to prevent dust accumulation
during storage.
NOTICE
The snowmobile has to
be stored in a cool and dry place and
covered with an opaque but ven-
tilated tarpaulin. This will prevent
sun rays and grime from affecting
plastic components and vehicle fin-
ish.
Engine Cooling System
V800 Model
Antifreeze should be replaced for the
storage period to prevent antifreeze
deterioration.
The antifreeze replacement and a den-
sity test should be performed by an au-
thorized Ski-Doo dealer.
NOTICE
Improper antifreeze mix-
ture might allow freezing of the liq-
uid in the cooling system if vehicle is
stored in area where freezing point
is reached. This would seriously
damage the engine. Failure to re-
place the antifreeze for storage may
cause its degradation which could
result in poor cooling when engine
will be used.
NOTICE
Do not run engine during
storage period.
Preseason Preparation
Refer to an authorized Ski-Doo dealer.
NOTICE
Have carburetor(s)
cleaned-up before restarting engine
on so equipped models.
