Extended Storage

Controls and Linkage

Lubricate all bushings and cables as outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Table beginning on page 68.

Clutch and Drive System

Remove the drive belt and store in a cool dry location. Do not lubricate
clutch components, except the driven clutch shaft bushing as outlined in
the Master Repair Manual. See your dealer.

Engine and Carburetor Protection

Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the preven-
tion of rust and corrosion on precision engine parts during storage.
Whenever the machine is stored for a period of more than 60 days, the
engine must be fogged with fogging oil.
1. Always add Carbon Clean to the fuel tank.
2. Run the engine for 10-15 minutes.
3. With the engine still running, turn the fuel valve off and spray the
engine with fogging oil. Follow the instructions on the container.
4. Allow the engine to stop by itself.
If stabilizer is not used, drain the carburetors by removing the water trap
drain plugs. See page 80.
TIP: Jet restriction caused by improper storage can cause lean conditions and
very poor slow speed driving quality.

Electrical Connections

Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors. Be sure wiring
harness is properly secured away from sharp edges, steering linkage,
moving parts, and hot exhaust parts.

Track and Suspension

Moderate track tension should be maintained during summer storage.
The snowmobile should be supported off the ground to allow the track
to hang freely.
