PROLONGED STORAGE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death resulting from a possible explosion:
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not
adequately ventilated. Do not smoke
near the fuel tank or refuel near open
flame or electrical items which could
produce a spark.
Store vehicle in a clean, dry area. Do not
store in same area as a stove, furnace,
water heater, or other appliance that
uses a pilot light or has a device that can
create a spark.
When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for
leaks or breaks that could result in fuel
spillage.
Always wear safety glasses while refuel-
ing to prevent possible eye injury from
gasoline or gasoline vapor.
Keep hands, clothing and jewelry away
from moving parts. Use care not to con-
tact hot objects. Raise the rear of the
vehicle and support on jack stands
before attempting to run the engine.
Preparing the engine for a prolonged storage period (30
days or more) calls for a few simple steps to prevent a
build up of varnish and gum in the carburetor and corro-
sion in the engine.
•
Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack
stands. Refer to 'Lifting the Vehicle' for proper lift-
ing procedure and safety information.
