Re: Winter Storage



Eihter you put it on blocks or let it stand, it is good if you can start it up
once every month and let it go so cooler fan activates twice. Even rolling back
and front some times breaking is good. Or if it is good weather out, go for a
short ride. Change motoroil and breakfluid before because the oil you have in
motor might contain water. Look that you have antifreezing in cooling system
and windshield washer or pour out all the water. Remove the batteryterminals
and if you store in a cold area move the battery to some warm place. Recharge
it every month. Cover it wouldn't be a bad idea but if you are planning a good
wash and polish in spring not necessary. Good luck and only god knows if you
can stand it.
