10-2

CAUTION:

Always keep the battery charged.
Storing a discharged battery can
cause permanent battery damage. 

To charge a sealed-type (MF) battery,
a special (constant-voltage) battery
charger is required. Using a conven-
tional battery charger will damage
the battery. 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. 

@

7. Drive track

Loosen the drive track, and block up the
chassis so that the track is suspended
above the ground.

8. V-belt 

Remove the V-belt and store separately.

9. Storage 

Store the snowmobile in a dry, well-venti-
lated place out of direct sunlight. Put a fab-
ric cover over the snowmobile, preferably
one that is designed for it. Do not use a
plastic or vinyl cover—condensation could
be trapped underneath which could
increase the chances of rusting.

Returning to service after storage

When returning your snowmobile to ser-
vice, reinstall the V-belt and adjust the
drive track, and install the battery. 
Remove the spark plugs and clean or
replace them if necessary. Perform all
other pre-operation and seasonal mainte-
nance checks listed in the periodic mainte-
nance chart.

For peak performance, it is recommended
that you have your snowmobile checked
and tuned by a Yamaha dealer. They have
the experience and training to help you get
the maximum performance and use of your
Yamaha snowmobile.
