Post-Operation Care
When vehicle is used in salt-water en-
vironment, rinsing the vehicle with
fresh water is necessary to preserve
vehicle and its components. Metallic
parts lubrication is highly recommend-
ed. Use XP-S Lube (P/N 293 600 016)
or an equivalent. This must be per-
formed at the end of each operating
day.
When vehicle is operated in muddy
conditions, rinsing the vehicle is rec-
ommended to preserve vehicle and its
components and to keep lights clean.
NOTE:
Never use a high pressure
washer to clean the vehicle
USE LOW
PRESSURE ONLY (like a garden
hose)
. The high pressure can cause
electrical or mechanical damages.

Turned Over
When vehicle is turned over or stays
tilted on the side, put the vehicle back
on its wheels, then wait 3 to 5 minutes
before starting the engine.

thorized Can-Am dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

cle can cause serious damage if the
