CLEANING AND STORAGE
3. Apply a light coat of oil or grease to all bushings, spindle shafts and tie rod
ends.
4. Change the engine oil. Start the engine and allow it to idle just long enough
to circulate the new oil throughout the engine.
5. Fog the engine using the recommended aerosol fogging oil available from
your dealer. Follow the instructions on the container.
6. Treat the fuel system with a fuel stabilizer. If a fuel stabilizer is not used, the
fuel tank, fuel lines and fuel rail should be completely drained of gasoline.
7. Remove the spark plugs. Spray a light amount of engine fogging oil into each
cylinder to prevent rust. Reinstall the plugs.
8. Make sure the coolant quality and level in the system is adequate for freeze
protection during storage.
9. Apply a metal protectant to shock absorber shafts or any exposed metal to
prevent corrosion.
10. Separate electrical connector blocks and clean corrosive build-up from
connectors. Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors.
11. Prepare the battery for storage.
12. Verify that tire pressure is at specification.
13. Cover intake and exhaust openings to prevent small animals from entering.
14. Elevate the vehicle using appropriate jack stands. Remove the wheels to
prevent flat spots on the tires.
15. Do not engage the park brake. If engaged, the brake pads may stick to the
discs.
16. Cover the vehicle with a fabric cover. Do not use plastic or vinyl covers,
which trap moisture and encourage rust and corrosion.
BATTERY STORAGE

2. Clean the battery terminals first with a wire brush to remove any loose
deposits.
3. Wash the posts and the ends of the battery cables with a solution of one part
baking soda to 16 parts water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
4. Apply a thin film of dielectric grease to the posts and cable connectors.
5. Clean the outside of the battery with a solution of mild detergent and warm
water.
