RETURNING THE STORED VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. Restore fuel system to operation.
1.1. Remove plug from fuel tank vent.
1.2. Connect vent tube to fuel tank vent.
2. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first.
3. Completely open the fuel shut-off valve (Figure 13, Page 24) . Make sure the valve is fully open. A par-
tially closed fuel shut-off valve (Figure 14, Page 24) combined with the use of the choke can result in a
fouled spark plug and engine failure.
4. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Crank the engine until fuel is pumped into
the carburetor and fuel lines and the engine starts. Turn the engine off. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Due to the oil added to the engine in preparation for storage, engine may smoke excessively for a
short while when running it for the first time after storage.
5. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 34.
6. Perform the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 15.
MAINTENANCE
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 7.
To ensure trouble-free vehicle performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive mainte-
nance program. Regular and consistent vehicle maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive
repairs that result from neglect. Use the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist on page 15 and the follow-
ing Periodic Service Schedule to keep the vehicle in proper working condition.
Any vehicle not functioning correctly should be removed from use until it is properly repaired. This will prevent
further damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe conditions.
Contact your local Pioneer dealer for repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.
