Vehicle Transportation Aids and Vehicle Storage
Claims arising from deterioration caused by incorrect storage, maintenance or handling are not
the responsibility of LEVC. Vehicle Converters must determine their own procedures and
precautions, particularly where vehicles are stored in the open, because they may be exposed
airborne contaminants.
Storage Precautions
CAUTION
Disconnect the 12 volt battery if the vehicle is to be stored for more than 7 days.
CAUTION
Make sure that the protective covers are not removed from an incomplete vehicle
until the conversion is started.
CAUTION
Make sure that components removed during conversion are kept clean and dry.
CAUTION
Make sure that components removed during conversion are refitted to the same
vehicle.
– The windscreen wipers should be set to the service position and lifted off of the glass.
– Increase normal tire pressure by 0.5 bar.
– Keep the parking brake disengaged during storage. Switch the electronic parking brake off
before disconnecting the 12 volt battery. This will allow the vehicle to be moved by hand
around a workshop.
– Install suitable wheel chocks to prevent roll away.
Where possible, vehicles should be stored in an enclosed, dry, well-ventilated area. This area
must be on firm, well drained ground which is free of long grass or weeds and where possible
protected from direct sunlight.
Vehicles must not be parked near, under foliage or close to water as additional protection may
be necessary for certain areas of the vehicle.
Long Term Storage
The wiper blades should be removed and placed inside the vehicle. Make sure the wiper arms
are prevented from resting on the windscreen.
Wheel trims (where fitted) should be removed and stored in the vehicle.
Release the electronic parking brake and chock the wheels.
Set Recirculation in the climate controls to the "open" position to provide ventilation.
