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."
