torque converter belt will dry quickly if operator will sit for a few
moments with the engine idling.
After driving through water, the brakes may be less effective than
normal. Test the brakes after traveling through any water, and if
necessary, apply the brakes repeatedly until the heat of friction has dried
them and the brakes retain their normal effectiveness.
WARNING
- Do not operate vehicle at high speeds until brakes are dry
and effective.
STORAGE
In the event your vehicle is not to be operated for a period in excess of 30 days and at the end of each riding season prepare for storage as follows:
WARNING
- Do not drain fuel while engine is hot. Be sure to move vehicle outside before draining fuel.
1. Drain fuel tank and remove all fuel remaining in the tank by using a suction device or by soaking up with a clean rag or towel. Remove all fuel
remaining in the carburetor by allowing engine to run out of fuel. Do not perform any fuel removal procedure while smoking or near an open flame.
Dispose of any rags or towels properly.
2. Lubricate engine cylinder by removing the spark plug and pouring one ounce of clean lubricating oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder.
Crank the engine slowly to spread oil and replace spark plug.
3. Do not save or store gasoline over winter. Using old gasoline which has deteriorated from storage will cause hard starting and affect engine
performance.
4. Monthly charging of the battery (if applicable) is recommended in the off-season.
WARNING
- Battery may generate explosive gases after filled with acid and during charging or use. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, or anything
flammable away. Ventilate when charging or using battery in an enclosed space, and ensure that the battery vent path is always open.
5. When the vehicle is removed from storage re-read the owner's manual, perform any assembly required, and perform a pre-ride inspection. See Pre-
Ride Inspection section of this manual.
GENERAL
Just as your automobile needs professional, mechanical maintenance from time to time, so does this vehicle. Replacement of the spark plug and ignition
points is made necessary by normal use. Professional air cooled engine service is easily obtained. Check your phone book yellow pages under "Engines-
Gasoline."
