Battery Storage

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or
more, remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully
charged, and store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check
battery voltage each month during storage and recharge as
needed to maintain a full charge.

STARTER SYSTEM

Starter Relay

The starter relay consists of a simple 2-way circuit. Power is
present at the (RD) wire from the battery. Once the switching
side of the relay receives power from the brake switch and a
ground path from the starter button, battery power is sent to the
starter motor to crank the engine.
Use the illustration below when troubleshooting a "No Start"
condition.
