STORAGE

DANGER
Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the
battery. Frozen batteries can explode.
Batteries in a low state of charge are more likely to freeze. Charge batteries fully before
storing the vehicle.
1. Turn the key off, place FED/REV switch in Neutral, and chock the wheels to prevent
rolling. Apply the parking brake and place the Tow switch in the Tow position.
2. Fully charge the batteries. If possible, keep the battery charger corrected so that the
batteries will not discharge. A computer on the charger will automatically monitor
and charge the batteries. If a reliable AC power supply is not available, disconnect the
charger from the AC supply and disconnect the batteries.
3. Dirty batteries tops can conduct small amounts of electricity and hasten the discharging
of the batteries. Clean battery tops and terminals with a solution of water and baking
soda (1 gallon of water for 1 cup of baking soda). Do not allow this solution to enter the
batteries.
4. Inspect and clean battery wires. Damage or frayed wires should be replaced.
5. Store the vehicle in a cool, dry location.
6. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended levels.
7. Lubricate front suspension and all other periodic lubrication points.
Returning Car to Service
1. Fully charge the batteries.
2. Check battery electrolyte levels, add distilled water if necessary after charging.
3. Adjust the tire pressure to the recommended levels.
4. Perform Pre-operation inspection.
