STORAGE
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 limits.
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 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.
To engage procedure, do the following:
1. Place the vehicle in a well ventilated
area.
2. Start the engine and let it run at idle
speed until it reaches its operat-
ing temperature (watch the coolant
temperature on the display or verify
the rear heat exchanger becomes
warm).
3. Push the SET (S) button to select
odometer mode.

NOTE: The storage mode does not
function in other modes (trip A, trip B
and hr trip).
4. Repeatedly depress the HI/LOW
beam switch rapidly, then, while
doing this , press and hold the SET
button until PUSH “S” appears on
the display.
NOTE: It is critical for this procedure
to depress the HI/LOW beam switch
repeatedly
before holding down the
SET button.

5. Release all buttons when gauge dis-
plays PUSH “S” appears.
6. Again, press and hold the SET (S)
button for 2 - 3 seconds.
NOTE: The gauge will display OIL
when the storage procedure is initi-
ated.
7. When gauge displays OIL , release
button and wait for the lubrication
function to end.

Do not touch anything during engine lu-
brication cycle.
The engine lubrication function takes
approximately 1 minute. During this
time engine RPM will increase slightly
to approximately 1600 RPM and the oil
pump will "oil flood" the engine.
At the end of engine lubrication func-
tion, the ECM will stop the engine .
