Dowco Guardian Snowmobile Universal Fit User Manual

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

Your snowmobile cover has been designed and manufac­tured of the highest quality materials available for this recre­ational application. We utilize a superior weave, longer last­ing 10 oz. breathable canvas. 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

Contents

1 ea. snowmobile cover 1 ea. instruction sheet
2 ea. long straps w/hook 4 ea. short straps w/hook

Installation

1. Position the cover over the handlebar area with the front

of the cover facing the hood of the snowmobile. The
cover has a tag sewn in the front of the cover.

2. Pull the cover down over the handlebars.

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 four 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 may
occur and the longevity of the cover will decrease. 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.
