STORING THE VEHICLE
Any time the vehicle will be parked for more than a few hours, follow the
recommended storage procedures:
1. Make any necessary repairs and clean the vehicle.
2. Clean the batteries.
3. Store the vehicle out of the sun in a cool, dry place.
4. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated.
5. Turn the key off.
6. DO NOT set the park brake.
7. Verify that tire pressure is at specification.
8. Block the wheels to prevent rolling.
9. Fully charge the batteries. Leave the charger connected to maintain a full
charge during the storage period, or check battery voltage each month
during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge. If the
charger remains connected, check it monthly to verify proper operation.
TIP
Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to
prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
WARNING
Do not cover the vehicle while the charger is connected. Dangerous levels of
hydrogen gas could accumulate.
