GENERAL INFORMATION

RETURNING THE STORED GASOLINE VEHICLE TO SERVICE

1. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first.
2. Restore fuel system to operation.
2.1. Remove plug from the fuel tank vent nipple and connect fuel vent line to nipple. Open the fuel shut-
off valve (Figure 3-4, Page 3-4). Make sure the valve is fully open. A partially closed fuel shut-off
valve (Figure 3-5, Page 3-4) combined with the use of the choke can result in a fouled spark plug
and engine failure.
2.2. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout cam in the
SERVICE (MAINTENANCE) position. Crank the engine until fuel is pumped into the carburetor and
fuel lines and the engine starts. Turn the engine off and return neutral lockout cam to the OPERATE
position. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Due to the oil added to the engine in preparation for storage, engine may smoke excessively for a
short while when running it for the first time after storage.
3. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications.
4. Perform the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist. See the vehicle owner's manual.
