Preparation for Storage
We recommend the following procedure
to prepare the ATV for storage. An
authorized dealer should perform this
service; however, the owner/operator
may perform this service if desired.
1. Clean the seat cushion (cover and base)
with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
2. Clean the ATV thoroughly by washing
dirt, oil, grass, and other foreign matter
from the entire ATV. Allow the ATV to
dry thoroughly. DO NOT get water into
any part of the engine or air intake.
3. Either drain the gas tank or add a
fuel stabilizer to the gas in the gas
tank.
4. Clean the interior of the air filter
housing.
5. Plug the hole in the exhaust system
with a clean cloth.
6. Apply light oil to the upper steering
post bushing and plungers of the
shock absorbers.
7. Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws,
and screws. Make sure rivets hold-
ing components together are tight.
Replace all loose rivets. Care must
be taken that all calibrated nuts, cap
screws, and bolts are tightened to
specifications.
8. Fill the cooling system to the bottom
of the stand pipe in the radiator neck
with properly mixed coolant.
9. Disconnect the battery cables (nega-
tive cable first); then remove the bat-
tery, clean the battery posts and
cables, and store in a clean, dry area.
NOTE: For storage, use a battery
maintainer or make sure the battery
is fully charged (see Battery section
in this manual).
10. Store the ATV indoors in a level
position.
CAUTION
Prior to storing the ATV, it must be
properly serviced to prevent rusting
and component deterioration.
CAUTION
Avoid storing outside in direct sun-
light and avoid using a plastic cover
as moisture will collect on the ATV
causing rusting.
