Rinse the vehicle off immediately with clean water and dry all surfaces with a clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent cloth. 6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the covers pliable and glossy. 7. Automotive-type wax may be applied to all painted and chrome-plated surfaces. Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain abrasives which may scratch the paint or protective finish. When finished, start the engine and let it idle for several minutes. B. Storage Long term storage (60 days or more) of your vehicle will require some preventive procedures to guard against deterioration. Make any necessary repairs before storing the vehicle. After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare for storage as follows: 1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent product. Operate the vehicle for at least 5 minutes to distribute treated fuel through the fuel system. 2. Drain the fuel from the carburetor float chamber into a clean container by loosening the drain bolt; this will help prevent fuel deposits from building up. Pour the drained fuel into the fuel tank. Specified amount: 1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or 7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel) 9-2
