RETURNING VEHICLE FROM LONG TERM
STORAGE
For short term storage refer to Owner’s Man-
ual.
• Inspect braking discs, light oxidation on stop-
ping surface is acceptable and should diminish as
vehicle is driven. If heavy corrosion and pitting is
apparent the braking discs would require service
before wheels are installed. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/
HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING), for proper procedures.
• Install wheels at the same locations from which
they were removed. Each wheel hub is marked to
indicate proper location.
• Wash preservative oils from engine compartment
and undercarriage of vehicle.
• Install fully charged battery. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - INSTAL-
LATION).
• Perform all time related periodic maintenance
described in the maintenance schedules.
• If used, remove desiccant bag from interior of
vehicle.
• Clean vehicle as necessary.
It is possible for the clutch disc to adhere to the
engine flywheel. The transmission will not go into
gear if this condition exists. To correct this condition,
lift the rear wheels off the ground and support the
vehicle on safety stands. Start the engine with the
transmission in fourth gear and hold engine speed at
1200 rpm. Depress clutch and apply the brakes to
stop rear wheels. If this procedure is not effective.
(Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/MAN-
UAL - DESCRIPTION).
• Start engine and verify that oil pressure, gener-
ator charging rate and engine coolant temperature
are in the normal operating range. Inspect engine
and drive line for fluid leaks and abnormal noises,
correct any defects that are apparent.
• Pump brake pedal several times to verify proper
operation.
