| (i) | A small portable electric winch should be mounted on the front of the ASV to extract it from soft snow. |
| (ii) | The hydraulic tank dip stick should be marked to enable measurement of the correct fluid level. |
| (iii) | The box sledge should be modified or have an add on draw bar section to level the sledge tray when towed with on ASV. The ski stop chains also require pinned shackles so that they don't come undone by travel vibration. |
| (iv) | A one page check list for the ASV would be especially useful for those who have not used the vehicles before. Rates of usage of fuel, oil, hydraulic oil, greasing should be shown. A copy of the check list should be kept with the vehicle. |
| (v) | Small plastic containers, 5 & 10 versions of the red mogas containers, should be available for oils, coolant and premix fuel for small motors e.g. chainsaws and augers. |
| (vi) | The ASV speedo is inaccurate as shown in the vehicle log. We need a method of measuring distance for bathymetry transects. The present electronic speedo should be recalibrated or a new one fitted that will read tenths of a kilometre. |
