Long Term Storage
Properly storing the Mudd-Ox is just as important as general maintenance. Improper storage can prematurely wear out components. If possible,
find a climate controlled indoor facility to store the Mudd-Ox.
Steps
1. Completely clean the Mudd-Ox inside and out with soap and water.
2. Drain any remaining water and debris from lower body. Do
not leave standing water in the machine.
3. After the Mudd-Ox is completely clean, grease each fitting as described on page 35.
4. Fully charge the battery. Then, disconnect or install a battery tender.
5. Completely drain fuel or add fuel stabilizer (See page 45 #7-8).
6. The next step is to remove weight off the tires. Carefully raise the Mudd-Ox. Place large wooden blocks under each side of the lower body (See
Figure-1). This is to support the Mudd-Ox by its frame.
7. If stored outdoors: Cover the vehicle with a tarp. Loosen the drain plugs to prevent rainwater from collecting inside the Mudd-Ox. If stored
indoors: Cover with a tarp if possible.
