VEHICLE STORAGE
Storing a vehicle for 30 days or more requires proper preparation to prevent a build-up of varnish and gum in the fuel
system, and corrosion in the engine. The following procedure will prepare the vehicle for storage:
Store your vehicle in an area that is well ventilated. Cover the vehicle. Covers designed specifically for vehicles are
recommended because they allow enough ventilation to prevent condensation and corrosion.
Store the vehicle in a clean,dry area.Do not store in an area with a stove, furnace, water
heater, or other appliance that uses a pilot light, or has a device that can create a spark.
Do not handle fuelinanareathat is not adequatelyventilated. Do not smoke near the
fuel tank or refuelnear open flame or electrical items which could produce a spark.
Whenrefueling, inspectthe fuel cap for leaksorbreaksthat could result in fuel spillage.
Always wear safetyglasses while refueling to prevent possible eye injury fromgasoline
or gasolinevapor.
Keep hands,clothing and jewelry away frommoving parts. Usecaution not to contact
hot objects. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack stands before attempting
to runthe engine.
NOTICE: The vehicle can be stored with the old oil left in the engine. The oil must be changed when the vehi-
cle is removed from storage, before resuming operation. This removes condensation that may have
accumulated in the crankcase.
Do not leave the parking brake engaged during the storage period. Use wheel chocks to prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
