Is it safe to drive and is there any recommended maintenance required before using it?

What year? And what type gas in it? How old battery?

Here what I would do as suggested from others. First I’d pull the dip stick check conditions of oil. If it’s black and gooey? I’d change it. If You put ethanol blend gas in last time You filled it up? I would drain it. Now if it’s fuel injection model After fresh gas and oil should be good to go.

If carburetor you will probably need to run additive in the fresh gas, if it starts and runs? Naturally you would want to check tire pressure, inspect battery look for corrosion at terminals, check water level if not maintenance free. You may need to charge the battery and load test it to see if it’s still good. Or you can just try to start it, run to charge battery.
