Dowco Guardian Custom Fit Snowmobile User Manual

Thank you for purchasing a DOWCO, Inc. Guardian
Trailerable Snowmobile cover. We are pleased that you
have selected one of the many fine quality products that we
produce for recreational vehicles.

Guardian-brand trailerable snowmobile covers are custom
fit and made to match the most popular snowmobile mod­els. Your snowmobile cover has been designed and manu­factured of the highest quality materials available for this
recreational application. Manufactured from breathable 10­oz. cotton that is water, fade and mildew resistant.
Enclosed web strapping sewn into a hemmed edge around
the perimeter of the cover keeps the cover tight and makes
it trailerable. The use of quick-release buckles and inde­structible shock cord around the bottom makes your cover
completely secure and trailerable. Another unique feature
is the tie down system with added straps located at the top
of the cover, which minimizes the amount of air trapped
under the cover while trailering.

As is the case with all fabric products, care should be taken
to keep sharp objects, hot items or solvents from coming in
contact with the material.

Installation

1. Position the cover over handlebar area with the front of
the cover facing the hood of the snowmobile. The cover
has a tag sewn indicating the front of the cover.

2. Pull the cover down over the handlebars and position the
zipper opening near the gas tank.

3. At the front of the snowmobile, pull cover over the nose
area.

4. At the rear of the snowmobile, pull cover completely over
the seat and rear bumper.

5. Assemble straps with hooks to buckles (see figure #1).
The short straps are attached to buckles located at the
bottom of the cover. The two long straps are attached to
the buckles located on the top of the cover. Make sure all
straps are secured tightly. If any portion of the cover is
left loose while trailering, damage to the snowmobile or
cover may occur. The hooks will attach easily to the
track suspension. Do not overtighten straps. To release
the straps, gently lift up on the lip of the buckle and dis­connect hook.

6. There is an additional web loop located at the nose. You
may find it necessary to secure this area so the front is
tighter. To do this you may tie a piece of rope from one
ski to the other, running the rope through the loop.

Care & Cleaning

To clean cover , soak area that is dirty and gently scrub with
a medium stiff brush, then rinse. Allow cover to air dry. Do
Not machine dry.

Soap, heat, salt and prolonged exposure to the sun will
damage the cover by causing a breakdown of dyes and
also reduce the protective coating used to give it water and
mildew resistance.

For summer storage, wash cover thoroughly inside and out
to remove dirt and road salt. Air dry, then place cover back
on snowmobile. Do Not store cover and snowmobile in
direct sunlight.
