PREPARING THE GASOLINE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1.
Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge. If the battery appears to be weak,
have it charged by a trained technician. Use an automotive-type 12-volt battery charger rated at 10 amps or less.
2.
Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.
2.1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout cam in the
MAINTENANCE position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position
(Figure 23)
and run
the engine until fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel lines is depleted and the engine stalls. Return
the neutral lockout cam to the OPERATE position.
2.2. Loosen, but do not remove, the carburetor drain screw and drain fuel remaining in bowl into a small, clean
container, then pour the fuel from the container into vehicle fuel tank. Tighten the carburetor drain screw.
