B. STORAGE
NOTE:
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your machine
will require some preventive proce dures to guard against
deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning the machine,
prepare for storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the specified
amount of ATVFuel Stabilizer and Conditioner or
an equivalent product.
Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or 7.5 cc of
stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner eliminates the need
to drain the fuel system. Consult a ATV dealer if the fuel
system needsto be drained instead.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon
of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor oil in the spark plug
hole and reinstall the spark plug.
Ground the spark plug wire and turn the engine over
several times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie aplastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent
moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmosphere,coat all
exposed metal surfaces with a light film of oil. Do
not apply oil to any rubber parts or the seat cover.
