MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Preservation

Proper storage starts with cleaning, washing, and waxing the hood, side
panels, 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.

Battery Storage

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,
remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and
store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each
month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.
