Storing Your Honda
5. Remove the battery and charge it fully. Store it in an area protected
from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow charge the
battery (page 148) once per month.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas
during normal operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to
explode with enough force to kill or seriously
hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a face shield,
or have a skilled mechanic do the battery
maintenance.
6. Wash and dry your Honda MUV. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Inflate the tires to their recommended pressures (page 136).
8. Store your Honda MUV in an unheated area, free of dampness,
away from sunlight, with a minimum of daily temperature variation.
9. Place your Honda MUV on blocks to lift all tires off the floor.
10. Cover your Honda MUV with a porous material. Avoid using plastic
or similar non-breathing, coated materials that restrict air flow and
allow heat and moisture to accumulate.
