Preparation for Storage

Prior to storing the snowmobile, it must be

properly serviced to prevent corrosion and

component deterioration. An authorized

Yamaha Snowmobile dealer should per-

form this service; however, the owner/oper-

ator can perform this service if desired. This

service is at the discretion and expense of

the snowmobile owner. To prepare the

snowmobile for storage, Yamaha recom-

mends the following procedure:

1. Clean the seat cushion with a damp

cloth and a Vinyl Protectant.

2. Clean the snowmobile thoroughly

by hosing dirt, oil, grass, and other

foreign matter from the skid frame,

tunnel, hood, and belly pan. Allow

the snowmobile to dry thoroughly.

DO NOT get water into any part of

the engine.

3. Change the engine oil. 
4. Plug the exhaust system outlet with

a clean cloth.

5. Fill the gas tank to its rated capacity;

then add Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer to

the gas tank following directions on

the container for the stabilizer/gaso-

line ratio. Tighten the gas tank cap

securely.

6. With the snowmobile level, check

the lubricant level in the chain case.

If low, add chain lube through the

fill plug hole.

7. Remove the drive belt from the drive

clutch/driven clutch. Lay the belt on

a flat surface or slide it into a card-

board sleeve to prevent warping or

distortion during storage.

8. Clean and inspect the drive clutch

and driven clutch.

9. Apply light oil to the upper steering

post bushing and shafts of the shock

absorbers.

10. Lubricate the rear suspension with

all-temperature grease.

11. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and cap

screws making sure all nuts, bolts,

and cap screws are tightened

securely. Make sure all rivets hold-

ing the components together are

tight. Replace all loose rivets.

12. Clean and polish the hood, console,

and chassis. DO NOT USE SOL-

VENTS. THE PROPELLANT

WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.

NOTE: Disconnect the battery

cables making sure to disconnect the
negative cable first; then clean the
battery posts and cables. Charge the
battery.

13. If possible, store the snowmobile

indoors. Raise the track off the floor

by blocking up the back end making

sure the snowmobile is secure.

Loosen the track adjusting bolts to

reduce track tension. Cover the

snowmobile with a machine cover or

a heavy tarpaulin to protect it from

dirt and dust.

14. If the snowmobile must be stored out-

doors, position the snowmobile out of

direct sunlight; then block the entire

snowmobile off the ground making

sure the snowmobile is secure. Loosen

the track adjusting bolts to reduce

track tension. Cover with a machine

cover or a heavy tarpaulin to protect it

from dirt, dust, and rain.

CAUTION

Sealed batteries require charging if
left for extended non-start periods.
Yamaha recommends trickle charg-
ing once a month. Follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions and
cautions.

CAUTION

Avoid storing in direct sunlight and
using a plastic cover as moisture
may collect on the snowmobile
causing corrosion.
