exposed metal.

replace worn or damaged components.

at regular intervals and reinflate as
necessary.

upright position in a cool, dry place.
2. Check and recharge battery every 60 to
90 days while in storage.

reduce the self discharge rate, room
temperature should not be above 80°F
(27°C) or fall below 20°F (-7°C) to
prevent electrolyte from freezing.

drain plug, drain the oil from the

drain plug and refill with fresh oil. Let
engine cool before starting.
2. Clean exterior of engine. Paint exposed
metal, or apply a light coat of rust
preventative oil.
