MAINTENANCE
Extended Storage
Electrical Connections
Separate electrical connector blocks and clean corrosive build-up from
connectors. Lubricate or pack connector blocks with dielectric grease
and re-connect.
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.
Battery
Always prepare and maintain the battery as outlined on page 124.
Track and Suspension
Moderate track tension should be maintained
during summer storage. The machine should be
supported off the ground to allow the track to
hang freely.

2. Be sure the fuel cap and oil cap are installed correctly.
