
Clean the whole vehicle.

Lubricate or grease the components that need it.

Empty the fuel tank. (Take care with the fuel, which is inflammable and toxic)

Empty the sump, removing the old transmission oil and refilling with new oil (If the engine is cold, it is recommended to
start up and leave running for a few minutes to warm up the oil and favour draining).

Cover the exhaust with a plastic bag, protecting it form the elements.

Any unpainted metal parts that could get rusty should be coated with oil.

Avoid the tyres touching the ground by placing a piece of cardboard or similar material under them.


Remove the plastic protection used.
