Storing your ATV
If the ATV is going to be stored for more than 60 days then there are some preventive
things to guard against deterioration. After a good cleaning; the fuel tank, lines and carburetor
float bowl need to be drained of all fuel. Remove the spark plug, pour about one teaspoon of
SAE 10w30 motor oil in the spark plug hole and reinstall the spark plug. Turn the engine over
several times slowly by hand not with the starter with out the plug wire hooked up, this will coat
the cylinder wall with oil to prevent rust and pitting. Lubricate all control cables with a good
quality spray lube. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground with an approved jack
stand or solid blocks and keep the wheels from flat spotting. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust
pipe with a rubber band to prevent moister from entering. If the ATV is going to be stored in a
humid or sea air atmosphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces with a light oil film. Do not apply
oil to any rubber parts or the seat cover, use an approved vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the
seat cover pliable and glossy. Remove the battery and apply a full charge. Store the battery in a
dry place and recharge it once a month. Do not store the battery in an excessively warm or cold
place (less than 30deg.F or more than 90deg.F). Make any necessary repairs before storing the
machine this will be less trouble for when the ATV will be used again. Contact your Red Cat
dealer for any parts you may need.
