WARNING
• Turn the key switch OFF, remove the key and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a
fire hazard.
• Turn fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 15).
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.
Frozen batteries can explode.
∆
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
PREPARING THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge. If the battery appears to be
weak, have it charged by a trained technician. Use an automotive-type 12-volt battery charger rated 10
amps or less.
3. Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.
3.1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout cam in the
SERVICE position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 15) and run the
engine until fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel lines is depleted and the engine stalls. Return
the neutral lockout cam to the OPERATE position.
3.2. Loosen, but do not remove, the carburetor drain screw and drain fuel remaining in bowl into a small,
clean container, then pour the fuel from the container into vehicle fuel tank. Tighten the carburetor
drain screw.
3.3. Fill fuel tank to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from top of fuel tank and, following manufacturer’s directions,
add a commercially available fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil
®
).
3.4. Disconnect fuel vent line from fuel tank vent nipple.
3.5. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. We recommend using a slip-on vinyl cap.
4. Disconnect battery cables, negative (–) cable first.
5. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
6. To protect the engine, remove the spark plug and pour 1/2 ounce (14.2 mL) of SAE 10 weight oil into
engine through the spark plug hole. Rotate engine crankshaft by hand several times and then install
spark plug.
7. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 34.
8. Lubricate front suspension and do all other semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication
Schedule on page 28.
9. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, engine compartment, and underside of vehicle.
10. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
