3. Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.
3.1. Place Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL and the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE position.
Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 15, Page 18) and run the engine until
fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel lines is used up and the engine stalls. Return the neutral
lockout cam to the OPERATE position.
3.2. Loosen (do not remove) the carburetor drain screw and drain fuel remaining in bowl into a small con-
tainer, then pour the fuel from the container into vehicle fuel tank. Tighten carburetor drain screw.
3.3. Fill fuel tank to about 1 inch 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.
4. To protect the engine, remove spark plug and pour 1/2 ounce of SAE 10 weight oil into the engine
through the spark plug hole. Rotate engine crankshaft several times and then re-install spark plug.
5. Inflate tires to rated capacities. See Tire Capacities, Page 23.
6. Grease front suspension and do all other semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication
Schedule, Page 22.
7. Thoroughly clean body, seats, cargo bed, engine compartment, and underside of vehicle.
8. Do not engage the park brake. Block tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
TO RETURN VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. Restore fuel system to operation.
1.1. Remove plug from fuel tank vent nipple and COMPLETELY open fuel shut-off valve (Figure 16).
Make sure the valve is fully open. A partially closed fuel shut-off valve (Figure 17, Page 19) com-
bined with the use of the choke, can result in a fouled spark plug and engine failure.
1.2. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL and the neutral lockout cam in the SERVICE
position. Crank the engine until fuel is pumped into the carburetor and fuel lines and the engine
starts. Turn the engine off and return the neutral lockout cam to the OPERATE position.
2. Readjust tire pressure. See Tire Capacities, Page 23.
3. Perform Pre-Operation Checklist. See page 6.
