Storage
Short-term
Always store your ATV in a cool, dry place and, if
necessary, protect it against dust with a porous
cover.
NOTICE:
Storing the ATV in a poorly ven-
tilated room or covering it with a tarp while it is
still wet, will allow water and humidity to seep
in and cause rust. To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because of the presence
of ammonia) and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.

[ECB00721]

Long-term
Before storing your ATV for several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the “Cleaning”
section of this chapter.
2. Turn the fuel cock lever to “OFF”.
3. Drain the carburetor float chamber by loosen-
ing the drain bolt; this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer (if
available) to prevent the fuel from deteriorat-
ing.5. Perform the following steps to protect the cyl-
inders, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug caps and spark
plugs.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into each
spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug caps onto the spark
plugs, and then place the spark plugs on
the cylinder head so that the electrodes
are grounded. (This will limit sparking dur-
ing the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with
the starter. (This will coat the cylinder walls
with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug caps from the
spark plugs, and then install the spark
plugs and the spark plug caps.
6. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting
points of all levers and pedals.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air
pressure, and then block up the ATV so that
all of its wheels are off the ground. Alternative- Specified amount:
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel (or 1 oz
of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel)
