STORAGE AND PRESEASON PREPARATION

Storage

If the vehicle will not be ridden for at
least four months, such as during the
winter, proper storage is necessary to
keep the vehicle in good condition.
BRP recommends you have your
authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer,
repair shop, or person of your own
choosing fully prepare your vehicle
for storage. Or, at your convenience,
you can follow the basic procedures
below.
To Prepare the Vehicle for Storage:
1. Inspect vehicle and have your au-
thorized Can-Am On-Road dealer,
repair shop, or person of you own
choosing for maintenance, repair,
or replacement if necessary.

ter. Seek service from an autho-
rized Can-Am On-Road dealer,
repair shop, or person of your own
choosing for maintenance, repair,

and the brake fluid.
