STORAGE
During summer, or when a snowmo-
bile is not in use for more than three
months, proper storage is necessary.
STORAGE
Clean the vehicle
Add fuel stabilizer to fuel
following the product
manufacturer recommendations.
Run the engine after adding the product
to the fuel
Lubricate engine
Lubricate brake lever pivot
Lubricate rear suspension
Charge battery monthly to keep it fully
charged during storage (on models with
electric starter)
Block muffler outlet with rags
Lift rear of vehicle until track is clear
of the ground. Do not release track
tension
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.
NOTICE
Fuel
stabilizer
should
be added prior to engine lubrica-
tion to ensure carburetor protection
against varnish deposits.
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.

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.
