STORAGE AND PRESEASON PREPARATION

When a vehicle is not in use for more
than 4 months, proper storage is a ne-
cessity.

When not in use, leave vehicle con-
nected to keep batteries fully charged
at all times.

Check battery charging indicator pe-
riodically to ensure batteries are kept
fully charged during storage period.

NOTICE

Not

keeping

battery

charged for a prolonged period of
time will lead to premature battery
failure.

Vehicle should be stored in a moderate
temperature environment. Avoid ex-
treme temperatures.

NOTICE

Storing vehicle in temper-

atures below -30°C (-22°F) or above
30°C (86°F) will shorten battery life.

When using your vehicle after storage,
a preparation is required.

See an authorized Can-Am dealer to
have your vehicle prepared for either
storage or the preseason.
