Preventing Theft

Make your snowmobile more difficult to steal by taking the following precautions.

Don’t leave your unattended snowmobile running or forget to take out the ignition key.
Never leave your snowmobile parked on top of a snow bank or any other place where it can be loaded into a truck.
Lock up your snowmobile if you are going to be away for an extended time. Use cables or heavy chains to secure snowmobiles together or to anchor the snowmobile to a secure object.
For further protection, park your snowmobile inside a locked building, trailer, or other secure area.
