Storage Tips

CAUTION
Do not start the engine during the storage period. This will disturb the
protective film created by fogging.
Cleaning—Clean the ATV thoroughly.
Fuel—Turn the fuel valve to "OFF" and drain the carburetor bowl completely.
Oil Add and Filter Change—Warm the engine and change oil and filter.
Air Filter/Air Box—Inspect and clean or replace the pre-cleaner and air filter.
Clean the air box and drain the sediment tube.
Inspect All Fluid Levels—Inspect the following fluid levels and change if
necessary: Engine Oil; brake fluid (change every two years or as required if
fluid looks dark or contaminated).
Fog the Engine—Spray light oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.
Check and Lubricate Cables/Grease—Inspect all cables and lubricate.
Battery Maintenance—Remove the battery and add distilled water as
required to the proper level. Do not use tap water which may contain minerals
that reduce battery life. Apply dielectric Grease to the terminal bolts and
terminals. Charge the battery.
Storage Area/Covers—Set tire pressure and safely support the ATV with the
tires 1-2"(25-50mm) off the ground. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated.
Cover the machine with an ATV cover.
NOTE: Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough
ventilation to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
