• Remove the spark plugs.
Do not connect the spark plugs to the spark plug caps.

start button several times to crank the engine and distribute
the oil.
• Reinstall the spark plugs and spark plug caps.
5. Remove the battery and charge it fully. Store it in an area
protected from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow
charge the battery (page 169) once a month.
6. Wash and dry your ATV. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Inflate the tyres to their recommended pressures (page 154).
8. Store your ATV in an unheated area, free of dampness, away
from sunlight, with a minimum of daily temperature variation.

10. 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.
