As winter approaches in Pennsylvania, many ATV riders put their machines away until spring. But simply parking your quad in the garage can lead to hard starts, fuel issues, dead batteries, and costly repairs. That’s why properly winterizing your ATV is essential—and why riders in Camp Hill, Harrisburg, and across Central PA trust Warhorse Camp Hill to do it right.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to winterize your ATV step by step, plus why having Warhorse Camp Hill handle it professionally is the easiest and safest way to protect your ride.

Why Winterizing Matters

Pennsylvania winters bring freezing temperatures, moisture, and long periods of storage. Without proper care, your ATV could suffer from:

• Fuel system clogs

• Battery failure

• Internal engine corrosion

• Cracked hoses or seals

• Rust and moisture damage

• Flat-spotted or dry-rotted tires

A little attention now saves big repair bills later.

Step 1: Give Your ATV a Deep Clean

Dirt, mud, and road salt trap moisture and cause rust. Before storage:

• Wash the entire machine

• Clean under the fenders and frame

• Dry thoroughly

• Apply protective spray or wax

A clean ATV is a protected ATV.

Step 2: Treat or Drain the Fuel System

Old fuel turns into varnish and clogs carburetors or injectors.

You can either:
✅ Add fuel stabilizer, then run the ATV
✅ OR completely drain the tank and lines

At Warhorse Camp Hill, we ensure your fuel system stays clean and ready to go.

Step 3: Change Oil and Fluids

Old oil contains contaminants and moisture that can damage the engine.

Be sure to:

• Change oil and filter

• Check coolant and antifreeze protection

• Inspect differential and brake fluid levels

Fresh fluids = protected engine during storage.

Step 4: Maintain the Battery

Dead batteries are one of the most common spring problems.

To prevent issues:

• Disconnect or remove the battery

• Store in a warmer location

• Use a battery tender or maintainer

Warhorse Camp Hill can test, maintain, and store your battery properly.

Step 5: Lubricate and Inspect Everything

Moving parts can seize or rust over time.

Before storing:

• Grease suspension and pivot points

• Lubricate the chain

• Check cables and controls

• Inspect the air filter

Prevention now keeps everything smooth later.

Step 6: Protect Your Tires

Cold weather causes air loss and flat spots.

To protect your tires:

• Inflate to proper PSI

• Use stands or blocks if possible

• Avoid sitting on cold concrete

Step 7: Store It the Right Way

Ideal storage conditions:

• Dry and clean

• Covered or indoors

• Away from rodents

• Stable temperature if possible

Use a breathable ATV cover—not a tarp that traps moisture.
