CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Non-Use Maintenance
Non-use maintenance is necessary if a vehicle remains off road for a longer duration (more than 15 days**). The correct
and careful non-use maintenance carried out before storing the vehicle will prevent the vehicle from rusting and from
such other non-operational damages like fire hazards.
• Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
• Empty the fuel from the fuel tank and carburettor float bowl (if fuel is left in for a longer time, the fuel will break and
gummy substance could clog the carburettor).
• Remove the spark plug and put several drops of 2T oil into the cylinder. Self start the engine a few times to coat the
cylinder wall with oil and install back the spark plug.
• Set the vehicle on a box or a stand so that both the wheels are raised off the ground.
• Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Avoid getting oil on rubber parts or brake liners.
• Lubricate the control cables.
• Cover the entire vehicle neatly. Ensure that the storage area is well ventilated & free from any source of flames or
spark.
• Fill 10% excess air pressure in both wheels.
** For Battery:
a. Remove battery and keep it on wooden plank, in properly ventilated area.
b. Before taking the vehicle for use.
• Get the battery recharged from the Authorised Service Center / Battery Dealer.
