Storing Your Honda

button several times to crank the engine and distribute the oil.

protected from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow
charge
the battery (page 180) once a month.
8.
Wash and dry your ATV. Wax all painted surfaces.
9.
Inflate the tires to their recommended pressures (page 169).
10.
Store your ATV in an unheated area, free of dampness, away
from sunlight, with a minimum of daily temperature variation.
11.
Place your ATV on blocks to lift all tires off the floor.
12.
Cover your ATV with a porous material. Avoid using plastic or
similar non-breathing, coated materials that restrict air flow and
allow heat and moisture to accumulate.
NOTICE
Do not store your ATV in upright position for extended periods of
time. The ATV should be stored with all four tires on the ground.
Gasoline could clog the fuel tank vent check valve and cause
damage to your ATV.

maintenance.
