If the ATV is not used for an extended period of
time, more than 4 months, be sure to thorough-
ly perform the following procedures for each in-
volved system.
FUEL SYSTEM
With the new fuel additives, it is critical to use the
fuel stabilizer (P/N 413 408 600) to prevent fuel de-
terioration, gum formation and fuel system com-
ponents corrosion. Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions for proper use.
CAUTION: Fuel stabilizer should be added pri-
or to engine lubrication to protect fuel compo-
nents (carburetor) against varnish deposits.
Pour fuel stabilizer in fuel tank. Fill up fuel tank.
ENGINE
Engine internal parts must be lubricated to protect
them from rust formation during the storage peri-
od.

WARNING
This procedure must only be performed in a
well-ventilated area. Do not run engine dur-
ing storage period.
Proceed as follows:
– Start the engine and allow it to run at idle speed
until the engine reaches its operating tempera-
ture.
– Stop the engine.
– Change engine oil and clean engine oil strainer.
Refer to LUBRICATION SYSTEM .
– Remove air filter housing cover and air filter to
spray storage oil (P/N 413 711 600) into carbu-
retor.
NOTE: For USA, use storage oil (P/N 413 711 900)
only.
– Restart engine and run at idle speed.
– Inject storage oil until the engine stalls or until a
sufficient quantity of oil has entered the engine
(approximately a quarter of can).
– Remove spark plug and spray storage oil into
cylinder. Press start button, 1 or 2 seconds
maximum, to lubricate cylinder.
– Reinstall the spark plug, air filter and air filter
housing cover.
– Turn the fuel valve to OFF and drain carburetor.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Battery
Remove battery from vehicle. Refer to CHARG-
ING SYSTEM for battery removal and storage pro-
cedures.
COOLING SYSTEM
Test coolant density using an antifreeze hydrome-
ter.
NOTE: Follow manufacturer's instructions for
proper use.
A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water
will provide the optimum cooling, corrosion pro-
tection and antifreeze protection.
CAUTION: Do not use tap water, straight
antifreeze or straight water in the system.
Tap water contains minerals and impurities
which build up in the system. Straight water
will cause the system to freeze while straight
antifreeze will cause system temperature prob-
lems.
Change coolant if necessary. Refer to COOLING
SYSTEM .
