STORAGE – ELECTRIC VEHICLE
See General Warning on page 1-1.
WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch in the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle
or a fire hazard. Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen
batteries can explode.
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damage, do not use any type of
pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle.
• IQ System and IQ Plus vehicles only: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position.

PREPARING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE

1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. Fully charge batteries. See Batteries section.
3. 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 batteries. 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).
4. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
5. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications – Electric Vehicles on page 2-3.
6. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Maintenance on page 10-1.
7. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, battery compartment, and underside of vehicle.
8. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
9. Keep batteries fully charged during storage.
9.1. Leave battery chargers plugged in during storage. The onboard computer (OBC) will automatically activate
the charger when necessary.
9.2. If the battery charger is left plugged in during extended storage, check the electrolyte level and charger
function monthly to ensure that proper operation is maintained. To check charger function, disconnect the
DC cord (stationary charger) from the vehicle or the AC cord (onboard charger) from the power source, wait
five seconds, then reconnect it. The charger is functioning properly if the ammeter indicates current.
