Vehicle Preparation






VEHICLE PREPARATION

For short term storage refer to Owner's Manual.

On a vehicle that is to be stored for 90 days or longer the following procedures are recommended to minimize environmental effects on mechanical components and painted or upholstered surfaces.

- Store vehicle in a well ventilated dry location.
- Vehicle must be dry before it is stored.
- If storage area is subjected to below freezing temperatures, place 3 mills plastic sheeting under vehicle. Plastic sheeting will serve as a barrier for condensate water that could form on a cold floor during temperature fluctuations.

Position vehicle as far away from continuously running electric motors as possible to reduce rubber component degradation. Electrical activity creates ozone which will cause rubber to deteriorate.
