‘Fog’ the engine
1. Remove the cargo box panel to access the spark plug(s).
2. Remove the spark plug(s), rotate the piston to the bottom of its stroke, and pour approximately 2.0 oz.
(15mL~20mL) of engine oil into the opening.
NOTE:
Do this carefully! If you miss the spark plug hole, oil will drain from the spark plug cavity, and appear to be an
oil leak. To access the spark plug hole, use a section of clean hose and a small plastic squeeze bottle lled
with the pre-measured amount of oil.
3. Reinstall the spark plug(s). Torque the spark plug to specication.
4. Turn engine over several times slowly. Oil will be forced in and around the piston, piston rings and the
cylinder will be coated with a protective lm of fresh oil.
5. Reinstall the spark plug(s), cap(s), and cargo box panel.
NOTE:
Starting the engine during the storage period will disturb the protective lm created by fogging. Corrosion
could occur. Never start the engine during the storage period.
Storage area and covering
Support the vehicle with stands under the frame with the tires 1/2in (30mm~40mm) o the ground. Be sure
the storage area is well ventilated, and cover the machine with an approved cover.
NOTE:
Do not use covers made of plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to prevent
condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
