Storage
72
ESU12430
Long-term storage requires some preventive
procedures to guard against deterioration.
Cleaning
Thoroughly clean the snowmobile, inside and
out, to remove the corrosive salts and acids
that can accumulate. Use Yamaha Mud,
Grease, and Engine Cleaner, or an equivalent
product, to loosen mud, grease, and grime.
Wash with mild soap, then rinse and dry com-
pletely.
Lubrication
Lubricate moving parts, suspension linkage,
and pivot points. Use the grease or lubricant
specified in the MAINTENANCE section, or
Yamaha Lube-Zall general-purpose lubricant.
Proper lubrication fights corrosion while it re-
duces friction.
Fuel system
Add Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and Conditioner,
or an equivalent stabilizer, to the fuel tank to
help prevent fuel oxidation and gum and var-
nish deposits, and to inhibit corrosion in the
fuel system and injectors. In areas where ox-
ygenated fuel (gasohol) is used, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
Engine
Proper storage of the engine is essential to
prevent costly rust and corrosion damage to
internal engine components. This is more im-
portant in areas where oxygenated fuel (gas-
ohol) is used, because the alcohol content in
the fuel increases the chance for water to en-
ter the engine. Use Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine
Fogging Oil, or an equivalent fogging oil, to
protect both the combustion chamber and
crankshaft from corrosion. An alternate meth-
od is to remove the intake silencer and squirt
oil into the throttle bodies while the engine is
running.
CAUTION:
ECS00680
Do not attempt to store the snowmobile by
simply starting the engine occasionally
during the storage period. This can cause
more harm than good! Moisture and acids
form during combustion which can actual-
ly increase the chance for corrosion dam-
age during the storage period.
Surface protection
Apply a coat of wax to painted surfaces. Apply
suitable protectants to the exterior of the en-
gine, drive track, and to other metal, plastic,
and rubber parts.
Battery
WARNING
EWS00610
●
Never smoke around the battery while it
is being charged. Sparks may ignite the
hydrogen gas created by the battery.
●
Disconnect the negative lead first, then
the positive lead from the battery.
●
Connect the positive lead first, then the
negative lead to the battery when install-
ing the battery.
●
Never connect the battery to or discon-
nect it from the snowmobile while it is
being charged. Sparks may ignite the
hydrogen gas created by the battery.
●
Make sure that the battery terminals are
tight.
Remove the battery from the snowmobile.
Store it in a cool, dry place that is above 0 °C
(32 °F), but less than 30 °C (90 °F). Check the
condition of the battery once a month, and
charge it as necessary.
CAUTION:
ECS00690
●
Always keep the battery charged. Stor-
ing a discharged battery can cause per-
manent battery damage.
