DANGER
• Do not attempt to drain fuel when the engine is hot or while it is running.

flames, heaters, or heat sources.
• Keep fuel out of the reach of children.
• Do not siphon fuel from the vehicle.
WARNING
• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle or battery charger. Anyone doing even
simple repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair.
The appropriate instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or accessory
installation.
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in
the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a
fire hazard.
• 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.

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.
