Transporting 

When transporting your snowmobile on a trail-
er or in a truck, observe the following recom-
mendations to help protect it from damage:

If transporting the snowmobile in an open
trailer or truck, put a tight fitting cover on the
snowmobile. A cover specifically designed
for your snowmobile is best. This will help
keep foreign objects out of the cooling
vents, and also help protect the snowmo-
bile against damage from debris on the
road.

If transporting the snowmobile in an open
trailer or truck in areas where road salt is
used, coat metal suspension surfaces light-
ly with oil or another protectant. This will
help protect against corrosion. Be sure to
clean the snowmobile when you get to your
destination to remove any corrosive salts.
