Storage

Storing the Machine

1. Clean the machine.
Important: You can wash the machine with mild
detergent and water. Do not pressure wash the
machine. Avoid excessive use of water, especially
near the shift lever plate, the InfoCenter, the power
center, and the machine power connector.
2. Store the machine in a cool, clean, dry garage or storage
area, away from direct sunlight. Do not store it in a
location where the temperature will drop below -25
degrees C (-13 degrees F) or rise above 45 degrees C
(113 degrees F). Temperatures outside of this range
will damage your battery.
Important: The temperature that the battery pack
is stored at will affect its long term life. Storage
for long periods of time at high temperatures will
reduce the life of the battery pack, especially if the
pack is stored with a high charge. Where possible
store the machine in a cool (not below freezing)
location.
3. Connect the battery to the charger and keep the
charger plugged in to a power outlet and turned on
for the duration of storage.
Important: After 10 days, the charger will enter a
storage maintenance mode, adjusting the battery
to a charge of 40% of maximum. This charge level
during long term storage will ensure the full life of
the battery. If you do not keep the battery pack
on the charger and allow it to enter storage mode,
the a high state of charge in the pack will shorten
the life of the battery, especially if stored in warm
conditions.
4. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws. Repair or
replace any part that is damaged or defective.
5. Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces. Paint is
available from your Authorized Service Distributor.
6. Cover the machine to protect it and keep it clean.
