Preparing The Gasoline Vehicle For Extended Storage - Club Car Turf 252 2007 Maintenance And Service Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

PREPARING THE GASOLINE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE

1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. Store 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.
3. Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.
3.1. Pedal-start vehicles: Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout
switch in the MAINTENANCE position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve (1) to the closed (OFF) position (Figure
3-3, Page 3-3 or Figure 3-4, Page 3-3) and run the engine until fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel
lines is depleted and the engine stalls. Return the neutral lockout switch to the OPERATE position.
3.2. Key-start vehicles: Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Turn the fuel shut-off
valve (1) to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 3-3, Page 3-3 or Figure 3-4, Page 3-3) and run the engine
until fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel lines is depleted and the engine stalls.
