Storage
73
● To charge a sealed-type (MF) battery, a
special (constant-voltage) battery
charger is required. Using a convention-
al battery charger will damage the bat-
tery. If you do not have access to a
sealed-type (MF) battery charger, have a
Yamaha dealer charge your battery.
● Do not charge the battery quickly.
Charge the battery for 10 hours at 1.8
amperes.
Drive track
Loosen the drive track and block up the chas-
sis so that the track is suspended above the
ground.
V-belt
Remove the V-belt and store separately.
Storage
Store the snowmobile in a dry, well-ventilated
place out of direct sunlight. Put a fabric cover
over the snowmobile, preferably one that is
designed for it. Do not use a plastic or vinyl
cover—condensation could be trapped un-
derneath which could increase the chances of
rusting.
Returning to service after storage
When returning your snowmobile to service,
install the V-belt and battery and adjust the
drive track.
Remove the spark plugs and clean or replace
them if necessary. Perform all other pre-oper-
ation and seasonal maintenance checks list-
ed in the periodic maintenance chart.
NOTE:
Before installing the battery, have a Yamaha
dealer inspect and fully charge it.
For peak performance, it is recommended
that you have your snowmobile checked and
tuned by a Yamaha dealer. The dealer has
the experience and training to help you get
the maximum performance and use out of
your Yamaha snowmobile.
