1.5 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1.5.1 For engine maintenance, follow the engine manufacturer’s recommendations
precisely as stated in the engine manual.
1.5.2 Disconnect the battery cable from the negative battery post when the unit will be
allowed to sit for more than 30 days without use.
1.5.3 Allowing batteries to stand for an extended period of time without recharging
them will result in reduced performance and service life. To preserve optimum
battery performance and life, recharge batteries in storage when the open circuit
voltage drops to 12.4 volts.
Note: To prevent damage due to freezing, battery should be fully charged before
putting away for winter storage.
