VEHICLE CARE
Post-Operation Care
Remove snow and ice from rear sus-
pension,
track, front suspension,
steering mechanism and skis.
WARNING
Make sure tether cord cap is away
from engine cut-off switch before
standing in front the vehicle, get-
ting close to the track or rear sus-
pension components.
Always cover your snowmobile when
leaving it outside overnight or during
extended periods of inactivity. This
will protect it from frost and snow as
well as help retain its appearance.
Vehicle Cleaning and
Protection
Wash snowmobile with water mixed
with a mild detergent. Use only mi-
crofiber cloths or an equivalent.
CAUTION It is necessary to use
microfiber cloths or equivalent on
windshield and hood to avoid dam-
aging further surfaces to clean.
To remove grease, oil and grime, use
Heavy duty cleaner (P/N 293 110 001)
(spray can 400 g) .
CAUTION Do not use Heavy
duty cleaner on decals or vinyl.
To remove stubborn dirt from all plastic
and vinyl surfaces, use Vinyl & Plastic
Cleaner ((P/N 413 711 200)).
To remove scratches on windshield
or hood use the Scratch Remover Kit
(P/N 861 774 800).
CAUTION Never clean plastic
parts or hood with strong detergent,
degreasing agent, paint thinner, ace-
tone, products containing chlorine,
etc.
Wax painted portion of the vehicle for
better protection.
NOTE: Apply wax on glossy finish
only. Protect the vehicle with a cover
to prevent dust accumulation during
storage.
Clean sheaves of both pulleys using
Pulley flange cleaner (P/N
619 600
022).
Inspect the hood and repair any dam-
age.
Touch up all metal spots where paint
has been scratched off. Spray all metal
parts including shock chromed rods
with XP-S Lube (P/N 619 590 093).
CAUTION The snowmobile
has to be stored in a cool and dry
place and covered with an opaque
tarpaulin. This will prevent sun rays
and grime from affecting plastic
components and vehicle finish.
Lift rear of vehicle until track is clear
of the ground. Install on a wide-base
snowmobile mechanical stand with a
rear deflector panel.
WARNING
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle
by hand alone. Use appropriate
lifting device or have assistance
to share lifting stress in order to
avoid risk of strain injuries.
