12 Storage
Snowdog should be stored in a dry ventilated room or
outdoors under a canopy with a waterproof cover.
In case of a short-term storage (up to one month), perform
the procedures specified in paragraph 11.2.
In case of a long-term storage (over a month) perform all the
procedures specified in paragraph 13.3 and lubricate non-
coated parts with a preserving agent, as well as the parts
where paint-and-lacquer coating is exposed. This ensures
the safe preservation of the Snowdog for up to 12 months
when stored normally. For the next 12 months of storage,
reproduce the steps above. To do so, follow the engine
depreservation procedures specified herein, remove the
preserving agent from the parts, fill the tank with gas, start
the engine and let run for 5 minutes, then stop it, change the
engine oil, and preserve the Snowdog for another period.
Also follow the engine manufacturer recommendations for
long-term storage.

13.2 Replacement of CVT belt
Turn off the engine. Lock the parking brake.
To replace the CVT belt, pull the belt off the large pulley
and then from the CVT (as on picture below). Install the belt
in the reverse order .
Replace the CVT belt, if it’s worn out or its width is less than
1.06 in (27 mm).
13.3 Checking the track tension
Before starting any movement check the condition and
tension of the track. Overtension leads to engine power loss
and causes overloads.
Place the Snowdog on a flat surface. Measure the distance
between the side plate chassis and the track. It should have
a value of 0.4–0.8 in (10–20 mm).
