WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key and leave the Forward/Reverse
handle in the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the
vehicle or a fire hazard.
• Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 11, Page 24).
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.
Frozen batteries can explode.
ý
CAUT ION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
PREPARING THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. 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.
3. Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.
3.1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the
closed (OFF) position (Figure 11) and run the engine until fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel
lines is depleted and the engine stalls.
3.2. 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.
3.3. Fill fuel tank to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from top of fuel tank and, following manufacturer’s directions,
add a commercially available fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil
®
).
3.4. Disconnect fuel vent line from fuel tank vent nipple.
3.5. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. We recommend using a slip-on vinyl cap.
