Cleaning And Storage; Draining The Fuel; Engine Preparation - Yamaha PRO HAULER YXP700 Owner's Manual

C LEANING AND STORAGE
1 -
Perform the following preparations when stor-
ing your utility vehicle for extended periods of
time:
NOTE:
Turn main switch key to "OFF" position, re-
move key, and store key in a safe place.

Draining the fuel

1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent
product. Operate the utility vehicle for at
least 5 minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system.
2. Drain the carburetor float chamber into a
clean container by loosening the drain
bolt; this will help prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drained fuel
into the fuel tank.
Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer for each gallon of fuel
(7.5 cc of stabilizer for each liter of fuel)
NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner elimi-
nates the need to drain the fuel system. Con-
sult a Yamaha dealer if the fuel system needs
to be drained instead.

Engine preparation

1. With the key removed and the spark plug
lead disconnected, turn the clutch by
hand until compression is felt. This puts
the valves in the closed position.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the spark plug hole and rein-
stall the spark plug. Ground the spark
plug wire and turn the engine over seve-
ral times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
