Cleaning; Storage - DAELIM S4 Owner's Manual

CLEANING

●Make sure to stop the engine prior to
car washing.
●Be careful not to allow water to enter
the muffler during the washing.Water
inside the muffler may cause an
improper engine starting or rust
occurrence.
●Do not let water get inside the braking
system during the washing, as water
inside the brake system may weaken the
braking power. Upon completion of
washing, select a safe place where there
is no traffic obstruction, and start the
vehicle.
Lightly apply the brake while driving at
a slow speed and check the braking
power. If the braking power has been
weak-ened, apply brake lightly while
driving at a slow speed to dry up the
brake system.

STORAGE

Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the motorcycle.
In addition, necessary repairs should be
made BEFORE string the motorcycle;
otherwise, theses repairs may be forgotten
by the time the motorcycle is removed
from storage.
●Empty the fuel tank into an approved
gasoline container
commercially available hand siphon or
an equivalent method.
●If storage will last more than one
month, carburetor draining is very
important to assure proper performance
after storage.
