STORAGE - GASOLINE VEHICLE
To prepare your vehicle for extended storage:
1. Unload the vehicle completely, so that only minimum vehicle weight will be placed on the tires.
2. Store vehicle in a cool place. This will prevent self-discharge of the battery. If the battery appears to be
weak, have it charged using an automotive-type 12-volt battery charger rated 10 amps or less.
