STORAGE AND PRESEASON PREPARATION
Storage
If the vehicle will not be ridden for at
least four months, such as during the
winter, proper storage is necessary to
keep the vehicle in good condition.
BRP recommends you have your au-
thorized Can-Am On-Road dealer, re-
pair shop, or person of your own choos-
ing fully prepare your vehicle for stor-
age. Or, at your convenience, you can
follow the basic procedures below.
To Prepare the Vehicle for Storage:
1. Inspect vehicle and have your au-
thorized Can-Am On-Road dealer,
repair shop, or person of you own
choosing for maintenance, repair,
or replacement if necessary.
