9.4 After each trip
1. Shut down the fuel valve (if provided). Clean
SNOWDOG from any snow and/or dirt.
2. Lube the chain with a aerosol chain spray.
3. Visually check track tension.
Visually check the driver and driven shaft of the CVT,
clean out of dirt if necessary. Be sure to check for
plastic inserts 1 in CVT driver shaft. I plastic inserts
are missing or worn out - insert new ones.
(For models with SAFARY CVT)

9.7 Washing and cleaning
Before washing and cleaning, remove the cover if necessary.
Wash cover, if necessary.
Do not use high pressure for washing, it may damage some parts
of Snowdog.
Snowdog should be washed with warm water and car detergent.
Thoroughly rinse the detergent.
Wash using a bucket with a sponge small water pressure hose.
It is necessary to ensure that water is not suffused in parts,
connectors and switches on the engine, in(on) the air filter and
muffler. Do not use petrol or other solvents to clean the plastic
and painted surfaces. Powertrain and chassis must be cleaned of
twigs, leaves and other contaminants. Remove stains of oil and
other fluids.
Start up and warm up the Snowdog after washing.
!
WARNING!
Do not allow corrosive substances on
the track, such as gasoline, solvents,
acids, etc.
10 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
9.6
. In case of a long-term storage (over a month)
perform all the procedures specified in paragraph
9.6
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.
10.1 Track maintenance
Check the track condition and its tension after each trip.
Excessive track tension is offen the reason for power loss and
causes engine overload.
You should also check if the track’s position is symmetrical to
the SNOWDOG. Never operate the SNOWDOG with severe track
damage. In case of severe track damage, you should seal it to
prevent moisture from ruining the track’s cord.
The cord threads should not stick out of the track’s side. If they
do, cut them off.
Check the track’s metal brackets after each trip. if bent,
straighten. If a bracket is missing, replace it. Operating damaged
tracks leads to their rapid deterioration.
Inspect and clean the track after each trip.
When operating the SNOWDOG in the wet snow, clean the track
more often, especially before a prolonged stop. Do not expose
the track to oil and various chemicals.
Do not store the SNOWDOG under direct sunlight.
Loosen the track before storage.
We recommend storing the SNOWDOG in suspended position. In
case of a long-term storage the track must be rotated to a new
position once a month.
10.2 Transportation
Drain the fuel from the tank or shut down the fuel valve before
transporting. The SNOWDOG must be in a horizontal position
during loading and unloading. When transporting the SNOWDOG,
make sure it is secure.
SNOWDOG cannot be stacked during transportation.
Snowdog is equipped with connector for towing eye bolt
1
in
the front part of the chassis of top part of the front mudflap. It
is designated to mount the Snowdog during transportations, etc.
Eye bolt is provided with SNOWDOG.
