Winter Storage
 
Question...

As my Wagon is now tucked up in the garage until next year… is there anything obvious I should be doing?

E.g. Disconnect battery, don't engage the handbrake but leave in gear, cover it etc etc


Thanks

J.

if you put a cover on it make sure the cover cant move, as you wont have any paint left in some areas.

put a few decent layers of wax on to help protect the paint

Axle stands with wheels off, or put an old set of wheels on,

Spray grease all moving parts, hinges etc etc

but most important of all













don't park it up,

USE IT:yeah:

Chuck it in the shed, shortly followed by patio furniture, kids garden toys and a trampoline.
Quickly run out of shed slamming the door before it all falls out.

Dig back out again in the spring, remember to stand to one side when opening door and then struggle to start it, normally damaging your lower spine in the process.

Thats what I do with me lawnmower......

If you have an alarm etc fitted will you need to reset it when the battery is reconnected.
