The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas
during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to
explode with enough force to kill or seriously
hurt you.

Storing Your Honda
Tips
Remove the battery and charge it fully. Store it in an area protected
from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow charge the
battery (page
) once a month.
Cover your ATV with a porous material. Avoid using plastic or
similar non-breathing, coated materials that restrict air flow and allow
heat and moisture to accumulate.
Place your ATV on blocks to lift all tires off the floor.
Store your ATV in an unheated area, free of dampness, away from
sunlight, with a minimum of daily temperature variation.
Inflate the tires to their recommended pressures (page
).
Wash and dry your ATV. Wax all painted surfaces.
