How to Tie Down a Snowmobile Cover
If your snowmobile cover is not tied down properly, it will flap in the wind and the material can get torn. The cover should be tied down as tightly as possible to prevent lofting and flapping, especially during trailering. The ends of the straps should be secured as well.
Attaching the Tie Downs
Your snowmobile cover comes with adjustable tie down straps to secure the cover from blowing or flapping in the wind during storage and trailering. To secure the cover, match the corresponding straps and clip buckles. Thread the strap through the buckle and pull it tight. To make the strap even more secure, thread the end back through one slot in the buckle. Tie off the end of the strap to keep it from flapping.
Repeat this process for each set of straps. The straps on the front of the cover should reach under the struts and secure the front corners of the cover to each strut. Make sure to secure the strap over the seat, under the rear struts, and under the tail of the snowmobile.
Securing the Tie Downs
You may wish to use extra tie downs for trailering, depending on how snugly the snowmobile cover fits for your specific make and model. Watch out for loose fabric or strap ends, as these can tear at the cover and cause damage.
Make sure all straps are tight before taking off. Stop and check the straps every so often on your way to the trailhead. Tighten the straps as needed to prevent the cover from flying off or flapping in the wind.
