Storage – Gasoline Vehicles
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
PREPARING THE GASOLINE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
1. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge. If the battery appears to be weak,
have it charged by a trained technician. Use an automotive-type 12-volt battery charger rated at 10 amps or less.
2. Drain carburetor and seal the fuel tank.
2.1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed
(OFF) position (Figure 17) and run the engine until fuel remaining in the carburetor and fuel lines is
depleted and the engine stalls.
2.2. 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.
2.3. Disconnect fuel vent line from fuel tank vent nipple.
2.4. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. We recommend using a slip-on vinyl cap.
3. Disconnect the battery cables, negative (–) cable first.
4. 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 batteries. 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 (Husqvarna 603 00 00-03).
