EBU30360 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 ventilated 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 chemicals 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 loosening 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 deteriorating. 9-2 Specified amount: 7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel (or 1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel) 5. Perform the following steps to protect the cylinder, 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. 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- 9
