2001 Turf Utility Gasoline Vehicle Owner’s Manual       25

STORAGE 

Read DANGER and WARNING on page 8.

To prepare your vehicle for extended off season 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 minimize 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.

3. Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.

3.1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout cam in the

SERVICE position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 17, Page 26)
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 OPERATE position.

3.2. Loosen (do not remove) the carburetor drain screw and drain fuel remaining in bowl into a small

container, then pour the fuel from the container into vehicle fuel tank. Tighten the carburetor drain
screw.

3.3. Disconnect fuel vent line from fuel tank vent nipple. 

3.4. 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 crank shaft several times and then re-install the spark plug.

5. Inflate tires to rated capacities. See Tire Capacities, Page 31.

6. Grease front suspension and do all other semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication

Schedule, Page 29.

7. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, engine compartment, and underside of vehicle.

8. Do not latch the park brake. Block tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

• NEVER ATTEMPT TO DRAIN GASOLINE WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT OR WHILE IT IS RUNNING.

• BE SURE TO CLEAN UP ANY SPILLED GASOLINE BEFORE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

• STORE GASOLINE IN AN APPROVED GASOLINE CONTAINER ONLY. STORE IN A WELL-

VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES, HEATERS, OR HEAT
SOURCES.

• KEEP GASOLINE OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

• DO NOT SIPHON GASOLINE FROM THE VEHICLE.

• TURN THE KEY SWITCH OFF, REMOVE THE KEY, AND LEAVE THE FORWARD/REVERSE

SWITCH IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION DURING STORAGE. THIS IS TO PREVENT
UNINTENTIONALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE OR A FIRE HAZARD.

• TURN FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE TO CLOSED (OFF(FIGURE 17, PAGE 26).

• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A BATTERY IF IT IS FROZEN OR IF THE CASE IS BULGED.

DISCARD THE BATTERY. FROZEN BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE.

• BATTERIES IN A LOW STATE OF CHARGE WILL FREEZE AT LOW TEMPERATURES.
