GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1. Fill fuel tank, and, following manufacturer's directions, add a commercially available fuel stabilizer (such
as Sta-Bil ® ).
3.2. Disconnect fuel vent line from fuel tank vent nipple.
3.3. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. We recommend using a slip-on vinyl cap.

soda and water: use 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. Let the terminals dry and then coat them with Battery Terminal
Protector Spray.
6. To protect the engine, remove spark plug and pour 0.5 fl-oz (14.2 mL) of SAE 10 weight oil into the engine
through the spark plug hole. Rotate engine crankshaft by hand several times and then install the spark plug and
tighten it to 20 ft·lb (27 N·m).
7. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 2-1.
8. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedules on page 10-7.
9. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, engine compartment, and underside of vehicle.
