WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse

Frozen batteries can explode.

CAUT ION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damages, do not use
any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle.
PREPARING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Fully charge batteries. See Charging Batteries on page 40.
2. 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).
3. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
4. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 52.
5. Perform all semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedules on page 34.
6. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, battery compartment, and underside of vehicle.
7. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
8. Keep batteries fully charged during storage.
• Leave battery chargers plugged in during storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate
the charger when necessary. If the battery charger is left plugged in during extended storage, the elec-
trolyte should be checked monthly to ensure that proper level is maintained. AC power should also be
checked periodically.
