Clean The Windshield - KYMCO Xciting 250i Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE

Clean the windshield

Using plenty of water, clean the windshield with a soft cloth or
sponge (avoid using detergents or any kind of chemical cleaner
on the windshield). Dry the windshield with a soft, clean cloth.
To avoid possible scratching or other damage, use only water
and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the windshield.
For a dirtier windshield, use a diluted neutral detergent with a
sponge and plenty of water. Make sure to rinse of f all the de-
tergent. (Detergent residue may cause windshield cracks.)
Replace the windshield if scratches cannot be removed and
they obstruct clear vision.
Do not let battery fluid, brake fluid or other acid chemicals contact
the windshield body trim as they will damage the plastic.
Removing road salt
The salt used in some communities to prevent road icing can
become very corrosive to your scooter. Wash your scooter as
soon as possible if it comes in contact with road salt (or sea
water).
1. Clean the scooter using cool water (see page 74). Do not
use warm water; as this will increase the corrosive ef f ect of
the salt.
2. Dry the scooter and protect painted and metal surfaces
with wax or polish.
Painted aluminum wheel maintenance
Even if protected by paint, aluminum may corrode from con-
tact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean the scooter's wheels
with a wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel
wool, or cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean
cloth . Apply touch-up paint to the wheels where damage has
occured.
Exhaust pipe maintenance
The exhaust system is stainless steel, but it can become stained
by oil or mud. If necessary , remove heat stains with a liquid
kitchen-counter abrasive.
