EBU25933Storage 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-
inder, piston rings, etc. from corrosion.a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place the spark plug on the
cylinder head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit sparking during
the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will coat the cylinder wall with
oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then install the spark plug and
the spark plug cap.
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)U2LC60E0.book Page 2 Friday, March 8, 2013 1:18 PM
