4. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally starting..." in
General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-2.
5. To protect the engine, remove the spark plug and pour 1/2 ounce (14.2 mL) of SAE 10 weight oil into the
engine through the spark plug hole. Rotate the engine crankshaft by hand several times and then install
the spark plug.
6. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications.
7. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication. See Periodic Lubrication Schedules, Section 10,
Page 10-4.
8. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, engine compartment, and underside of vehicle.

RETURNING THE STORED GASOLINE VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first.
2. Restore fuel system to operation.
2.1. Remove plug from the fuel tank vent nipple and reconnect fuel vent line to nipple. Open the fuel
shut-off valve (Figure 3-4, Page 3-4). Make sure the valve is fully open. A partially closed fuel shut-
off valve (Figure 3-5, Page 3-4) combined with the use of the choke, can result in a fouled spark
plug and engine failure.
2.2. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and the neutral lockout cam to the
MAINTENANCE position. Crank the engine until fuel is pumped into the carburetor and fuel lines
and the engine starts. Turn the engine off and return the neutral lockout cam to the OPERATE posi-
tion. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Due to the oil added to the engine in preparation for storage, the engine may smoke excessively for
a short while when running it for the first time after storage.
3. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications.
4. Perform the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist. See the vehicle owner's manual.
