Warning
Never wax or lubricate the brake discs.
Loss of braking power and an accident
could result. Clean the disc with a
proprietary brand of oil‑free brake disc

Remove the plastic bags and tape, and
clear the air intakes.
Lubricate the pivots, bolts and nuts.

absorb water residue. Do not allow
water to stand on the machine as this
will lead to corrosion.
Start the engine and run it for 5
minutes. Make sure that there is
adequate ventilation for the exhaust
fumes.
