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
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.
2.3. Disconnect fuel vent line from fuel tank vent nipple.
2.4. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. We recommend using a slip-on vinyl cap.
3. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first.
4. Battery should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash top and terminals of battery with a solution of baking
soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off battery. Do
not allow this solution to enter the battery. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry and then coat
them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
5. To protect the engine, remove spark plug and pour 1/2 ounce (14.2 mL) of SAE 10 weight oil into the
engine through the spark plug hole. Rotate engine crankshaft by hand several times and then install the
spark plug.
6. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure.
See Vehicle Specifications on page 52.
7. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication.
See Periodic Lubrication Schedules on page 34.
8. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, engine compartment, and underside of vehicle.
9. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
