Storage Preparation
The optimum storage temperature range is between 65°F and 82°F (18°C
and 28°C).

• In cold climates, fully charge the battery module. Make sure that the
charging operation is complete and there are no faults displayed on
the charger. The green light on the charger should be on, indicating
the charge cycle is complete.

pack capacity.
• Turn the key to the OFF position and remove it from the key
switch.
• Make sure the tow/run switch is in the RUN position.
