DANGER
• Never attempt to drain gasoline when the engine is hot or while it is running.
• Be sure to clean up any spilled gasoline before operating the vehicle.
• Store gasoline in an approved gasoline container only. Store in a well-ventilated area away
from sparks, open flames, heaters, or heat sources.
• Keep gasoline out of the reach of children.
• Do not siphon gasoline from the vehicle.
ý
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 fuel shut-off valve to closed (OFF) position (Figure 3-3, Page 3-3) (Figure 3-4, Page 3-3).
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.
Frozen batteries can explode.
ý
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. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CC P/N 1014305).
