MAINTENANCE

Extended Storage

Off-season or extended storage of your snowmobile requires preventive

measures to aid against deterioration and to prolong the useful life of

many components.

Cleaning and Preservation

Proper storage starts with cleaning, washing, and waxing the hood,

chassis, and plastic parts. Wipe down remaining surfaces with a damp

cloth. Clean and touch up with paint any rusted or previously painted

surfaces. Be sure that corrosive salt and acids are removed from surfaces

before beginning preservation with waxes and rust inhibitors (grease, oil

or paint).

The snowmobile should be stored in a dry garage or shed, out of direct

sunlight, and covered with a fabric snowmobile cover. Plastic tarp may

cause condensation to form and damage snowmobile components.

Engine and Carburetor 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 can. See page 102.

Always add Premium Carbon Clean or a fuel conditioner/stabilizer to

the fuel tank. Follow the instructions on the can, running the engine for

five minutes to get additives through the entire fuel system. Top off with

fresh fuel.

Tip: For easier starting after extended storage, add lubricant to the fuel in the

tank at a 40:1 ratio and run the engine for three to five minutes before

storage. This will lubricate the fuel pump diaphragm to keep it flexible and

help prevent loss of prime.

If stabilizer is not used, drain the carburetors by removing the water trap

drain plugs (see page 72). Catch fuel in a container or shop cloth.

Reinstall plugs securely. Observe all fire safety rules when draining

carburetors. See gasoline warnings on page 50.

Tip: Jet restriction caused by improper storage can cause lean conditions and

very poor slow speed driving quality.
