STORAGE 159
Guideline
Storage temperature of battery without direct sunshine. 0… 35 °C (32… 95 °F)
– Store the vehicle in a dry location that is not subject to large fluctuations in temperature.
– Cover the vehicle with a tarp or cover that is permeable to air.
Info
Do not use non-porous materials since they prevent humidity from escaping, thus causing corrosion.
Avoid running the engine for a short time only. Because the engine will not warm up sufficiently, the water vapor produced dur-
ing combustion will condense, causing engine parts and the exhaust system to rust.
12.2Putting the vehicle into operation after storage
– Install the battery. ( p. 112)
– Fill up with fuel. ( p. 43)
– Checks before putting into operation ( p. 31)
– Make a cautious test ride.
