Pre-Season Check-Up and Maintenance

It's a good idea to give your snowmobile a check-up before the season starts so that problems can be fixed before they interfere with your enjoyment. Consult your owner's manual for items that may need to be lubricated, tightened, adjusted, aligned, or checked for wear.

In addition to the check-up, be sure to perform all recommended maintenance.

Key items include:

  • Brakes
  • Clutch
  • Drive belt
  • Fuel filter
  • Lights
  • Skis
  • Spark plugs
  • Steering system
  • Track
