RETURNING THE STORED GASOLINE VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. Restore the fuel systems to operation (Figure 27).
1.1. Remove the plug from the fuel tank vent.
1.2. Connect the vent tube to the fuel tank vent.
2. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 144 in-lb (16 N-m).
3. Completely open the fuel shut-off valve (1) (Figure 25). Make sure the valve is fully open. A partially closed fuel shut-off
valve (Figure 26) combined with the use of the choke can result in a fouled spark plug and engine failure.
4. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout cam in the MAINTENANCE
position. Crank the engine until fuel is pumped into the carburetor and fuel lines and the engine starts. Turn the engine
off and return the neutral lockout cam to the OPERATE position. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Due to the oil added to the engine in preparation for storage, engine may smoke excessively for a short time when it
is run for the first time after storage.
5. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Vehicle Specifications on page 52.
