STORAGE – GASOLINE VEHICLES
See General Warnings on page 19.
DANGER
• Do not attempt to drain fuel when the engine is hot or while it is running.
• Be sure to clean up any spilled gasoline before operating the vehicle.
• Store fuel in an approved fuel container only. Store in a well-ventilated area away from sparks, open
flames, heaters, or heat sources.
• Keep fuel out of the reach of children.
• Do not siphon fuel from the vehicle.
WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in
the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a
fire hazard.
• Turn the fuel shut-off valve (1) (Figure 19) or (Figure 20) to the closed (OFF) position.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen
batteries can explode.
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
PREPARING THE GASOLINE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Unload the vehicle so that tires are supporting only the weight of the vehicle.
2. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge. If the battery appears to be weak,
have it charged by a trained technician. Use an automotive-type 12-volt battery charger rated at 10 amps or less.
3. Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.
3.1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout switch in the
MAINTENANCE position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve (1) (Figure 19) or (Figure 20) to the closed (OFF)
position and run the engine until fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel lines is depleted and the engine
stalls. Return the neutral lockout switch to the OPERATE position.
