Storage – Gasoline Vehicle
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
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 (Figure 15) 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 battery and spark plug wire(s). See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 11.
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. Let the terminals dry and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector
Spray (CC 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 36.
7. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on page 28.
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.
