STORAGE
Long term storage requires some preven-
tive procedures to guard against deteriora-
tion.
1. Cleaning
Thoroughly clean the snowmobile, inside
and out, to remove the corrosive salts and
acids that can accumulate. Use Yamaha
Mud and Grease Release, or an equivalent
product, to loosen mud, grease, and grime.
Wash with mild soap, then rinse and dry
completely.
2. Lubrication
Lubricate moving parts, suspension link-
age, and pivot points. Use the grease or
lubricant specified in the MAINTENANCE
section, or Yamaha Lube-Zall general pur-
pose lubricant. Proper lubrication fights
corrosion while it reduces friction.
3. Fuel system preparation
Add Yamaha Fuel Conditioner/Stabilizer, or
an equivalent, to the fuel tank to help pre-
vent fuel oxidation, gum and varnish
deposits, and to inhibit corrosion in the fuel
system and carburetor. In areas where
oxygenated fuel (gasohol) is used, com-
pletely drain the fuel system. Ask a
Yamaha dealer if further information is
needed.
4. Engine
Proper storage of the engine is essential to
prevent costly rust and corrosion damage
to internal engine components. This is
more important in areas where oxygenated
fuel (gasohol) is used, because the alcohol
content in the fuel increases the chance for
water to enter the engine. Use Yamaha
Stor-Rite Fogging Oil, or an equivalent fog-
ging oil, to protect both the combustion
chamber and crankshaft from corrosion.
An alternate method is to remove the car-
buretor silencer and squirt oil into the car-
buretor throats while the engine is running.
CAUTION:
@
Do not attempt to store the snowmobile
by simply starting the engine occasion-
ally during the storage period. This can
cause more harm than good! Moisture
and acids form during combustion
which can actually increase the chance
for corrosion damage during the stor-
age period.
@
5. Protection
Apply a coat of wax, such as Yamaha Sili-
cone Wax, to painted surfaces. Spray
Yamaha Silicone Spray, or an equivalent
protectant, on the exterior of the engine, on
the drive track, and on other metal, plastic,
and rubber parts.
6. Drive track
Loosen the drive track, and block up the
chassis so that the drive track is sus-
pended above the ground.
7. V-belt
Remove the V-belt and store separately.
8. Storage
Store the snowmobile in a dry, well-venti-
lated place out of direct sunlight. Put a fab-
ric cover over the snowmobile, preferably
one that is designed for it. Do not use a
plastic or vinyl cover — condensation
could be trapped underneath which could
increase the chances of rusting.
