Periods of inactivity (03_38)

We recommend carrying out the following operations:

1. Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;

2. With engine off and piston at the bottom dead centre, remove the spark plug, fill

with 1÷2 cm³ of oil (adding more than this quantity is dangerous for the engine). Op-

erate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly,

then insert the spark plug again;

3. Drain all the fuel from the scooter; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal

parts; keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden

wedges;

4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the «Battery» section.

Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the

painted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body sponge

soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water).

Then rinse abundantly with water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the outside of the

engine, use petroleum, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Re-

member that any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.
