UP TO ONE MONTH

1. While engine is running, treat upper cylinders by spraying engine fogging agent into the air intake (NOT

through air cleaner) for about two minutes. Fogging agent can be obtained from your local after market
supplier. Open throttle for short burst of speed, shut off ignition and allow engine to come to a stop while
continuing to spray fogging agent into air intake.

2. Leave spark plugs in holes or seal spark plug holes with suitable threaded metal plugs and cover all

openings into engine with suitable non-hygroscopic material.

3. Check coolant protection. Store machine indoors in dry area.

TWO MONTHS

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.

2. Change the oil and filter while the engine is still warm from operation.

3. Drain coolant from the radiator. Open cock at the bottom of the radiator, and remove the pressure cap to

drain water completely. Leave the cock open. Hang a not written "No Water" on the pressure cap. Since
water freezes when temperature drops below 0°C (32° F) it is important that no water is left in the ma-
chine.

4. Remove battery from the engine, adjust the electrolyte level, and recharge it. Store battery in a dry dark

place.
