9. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication.
10. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, battery compartment, and underside of vehicle.

NOTE: It is recommended that the vehicles be plugged in and the electrolyte level maintained throughout the storage

charger cannot remain plugged in, 2) AC power will not be available during extended storage, or 3) Electrolyte
levels will not be maintained. To disconnect batteries for storage, go to step 13.

charger is functioning properly if the blue light is ON and the triangular light is OFF.
CAUTION

ensure the charger is operating correctly during storage.
