Otherwise, the vibration and bumps from the road surface could make it possible for fuel to flow through the carburetors into the crankcase. This can result in "hydrostatic lock, " a condition where the engine cannot rotate because of fuel accumulated in the engine. Severe engine damage can result from hydrostatic lock. When possible, the fuel tank should be empty during transportation, especially if the trip will be longer than 30 minutes. If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer or truck, put a tight fitting cover on the snowmobile. A cover specifically designed for your snowmobile is best. This will help keep foreign objects out of the cooling vents in the shroud, and also help protect the snowmobile against damage from debris on the road. If transporting the snowmobile in an open trailer or truck in areas where road salt is used, coat metal suspension surfaces lightly with oil or other protectant. This will help protect against corrosion. [. . . ] Moisture and acids form during combustion which can actually increase the chance for corrosion damage during the storage period. @ 5. Protection Apply a coat of wax, such as Yamaha Silicone Wax, to painted surfaces. Spray Yamaha Silicone Spray, or an equivalent protectant, on the exterior of the engine, drive track, and on other metal, plastic, and rubber parts. Battery For VT600 / VX600ER Remove the battery from the snowmobile and check the fluid level. [. . . ]
