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's important to thoroughly clean it to remove dirt, ice, snow, salt, and other debris that could damage your machine. Use warm water and soap to carefully clean your snowmobile, making sure to clean hard-to-reach areas. Removing these impurities will help you maintain the appearance of your vehicle for years to come.

Step 2: Preparation

Fill the tank with high-quality gasoline, add fuel stabilizer, and perform an oil change. This will help prevent corrosion and buildup of deposits in the engine.

Step 3: Lubrication

Take the time to carefully lubricate every greasing point on your snowmobile, paying particular attention to suspension parts, steering axles, and joints. Use a snowmobile-specific product to extend the life of your mechanical components and avoid corrosion problems.

Step 4: Battery Removal

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

Step 5: Elevate the Snowmobile

Your snowmobile should be elevated off the ground to avoid prolonged pressure on the suspension and track. Use a storage lever to lift 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 sturdy 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 store it. Make sure to place it in a dry place away from bad weather. Ideally, you should store it in a garage or garden shed to protect it from natural elements, such as the sun that can damage your snowmobile's plastics over time.

Step 8: Maintenance Before Use

Before taking your snowmobile out for next season, it's important to check its overall condition and perform a preventive inspection. Make sure to check the oils, belts, suspension roller, slider, and that the brakes and lights are functioning correctly. 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 next season.
