Practical Tips for Safely Storing Your Snowmobile

Here are the steps to follow to store your snowmobile for the summer

Step 1: Cleaning

Before storing your snowmobile, it is important to give it a thorough cleaning to remove dirt, ice, snow, salt and other debris that could damage your machine. Use warm water and mild soap to thoroughly clean your snowmobile. Make sure to clean the hardest to reach parts. Removing these impurities will allow you to keep your vehicle looking better for years to come.

Step 2: Preparation

Fill the tank with premium gasoline, add fuel stabilizer, and change the oil. This way you will avoid corrosion and the accumulation of deposits in the engine.

Step 3: Lubrication

Take the time to carefully lubricate each lubrication point on your snowmobile, paying particular attention to suspension parts, steering axles and joints. Use a product suitable for snowmobiles to extend the life of your mechanical components and thus avoid corrosion problems.

Step 4: Removing the Battery

Remove the battery from your snowmobile and store it in a dry, cool place. The battery should be kept charged throughout storage, so make sure to charge it regularly or even better use a smart charger .

Step 5: Raise the snowmobile

The snowmobile must be raised off the ground to avoid prolonged pressure on the suspensions and the track. Use a storage lever to raise your snowmobile off the ground.

Step 6: Cover the Snowmobile

To protect your snowmobile from dust, dirt and moisture during storage, you can cover it with a heavy-duty snowmobile cover . Make sure the cover is large enough to cover the entire machine.

Step 7: Safe storage

Now that your snowmobile is clean and ready for storage, it's time to put it away. Make sure to place it in a dry place protected from bad weather. Ideally, you should store it in a garage or garden shed to protect it from natural elements, such as the sun, which deteriorates the plastics of your snowmobile over time.

Step 8: Maintenance Before Use

Before taking your snowmobile out for the next season, it is important to check its general condition and carry out a preventive inspection. Make sure to check the oils, belts, casters, suspension, slides and that the brakes and lights are working properly. This will ensure that your snowmobile is in good working order and ready to ride.

By following these simple steps, you can be sure that your snowmobile will be in good condition for the following season.
