PREPARING THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Unload the vehicle so that the tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. Store the 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
at 10 amps or less. Check electrolyte level after charging and add distilled water if necessary.
3. Make sure the key switch is in the OFF position and the Forward/Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL
position. Chock the wheels.
Gasoline vehicles:
4. Prepare the fuel tank.
4.1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel.
4.2. Following manufacturer’s directions, add a commercially available fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil
®
).
Run the engine in a well-ventilated area to allow treated fuel to replace untreated fuel in the carburetor.
4.3. Disconnect the fuel vent line from the fuel tank vent nipple (Figure 34, Page 43) .
4.4. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. Club Car recommends using a slip-on vinyl cap.
5. Remove both spark plugs and pour 1/2 ounce (14.2 mL) of SAE 10 weight oil through each of the two
spark plug holes. Rotate the engine crankshaft by hand several times, then install both spark plugs.
Diesel vehicles:
6. Prepare the fuel tank.
6.1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel.
6.2. Disconnect the fuel vent line from the fuel tank vent nipple (Figure 35, Page 43) .
6.3. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. Club Car recommends using a slip-on vinyl cap.
7. Change engine oil. See Engine Oil and Filter Change on page 36.
All vehicles:
8. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally start-
ing...” on page 11.
9. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) 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).
10. Adjust the tires to the recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 48.
11. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedule on page 33.
12. Thoroughly clean the front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, engine compartment, and underside of
vehicle.
13. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
RETURNING THE STORED VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. Make sure the key switch is in the OFF position and the Forward/Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL
position. Chock the wheels.
2. Restore the fuel system to operation (Figure 34, Page 43 or Figure 35, Page 43) .
2.1. Remove the plug from the fuel tank vent.
2.2. Connect the vent tube to the fuel tank vent.
3. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten the terminals to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m). Coat
terminals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
