3.2. Loosen, but do not remove, the carburetor drain screw and drain fuel remaining in bowl into a small,
clean container, then pour the fuel from the container into vehicle fuel tank. Tighten the carburetor
drain screw.
3.3. Fill fuel tank to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from top of fuel tank and, following manufacturer’s directions,
add a commercially available fuel stabilizer (such as Sta-Bil
®
).
3.4. Disconnect fuel vent line from fuel tank vent nipple.
3.5. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. We recommend using a slip-on vinyl cap.
4. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first.
5. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
6. To protect the engine, remove spark plug and pour 1/2 ounce (14.2 mL) of SAE 10 weight oil into the
engine through the spark plug hole. Rotate engine crankshaft by hand several times and then install the
spark plug.
7. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure.
See Vehicle Specifications – Electric Vehicles on
8. Perform semiannual periodic lubrication.
See Periodic Lubrication Schedules on page 31.
9. Thoroughly clean front body, rear body, seats, cargo bed, engine compartment, and underside of vehicle.
10. Do not engage the park brake. Chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
RETURNING THE STORED GASOLINE VEHICLE TO SERVICE
1. Restore fuel system to operation.
1.1. Remove plug from the fuel tank vent
.
1.2. Connect vent tube to fuel tank vent.
2. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first.

. Make sure the valve is fully open. A partially closed
fuel shut-off valve
combined with the use of the choke can result in a fouled spark plug and
engine failure.
