PROLONGED INACTIVITY

A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition
whenever it is to remain inactive for a long period (e.g. during the winter):
• Thoroughly clean the vehicle.
• Reduce the tyre pressures by approximately 30 percent, and if possible raise the
tyres off the ground.
• Remove the spark plug and pour a few drops of engine oil into the spark plug hole.
Make the engine turn a few times by operating the kick-start (where available) and
then replace the spark plug.
• Cover the unpainted parts, excepting the brakes and the rubber parts, with a film
of oil or spray silicone.
• Protect the vehicle with a dust cover.
•Drain the carburetor tank as described at page 42.
AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY
• Restore the tyre inflating pressures.
• Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function.
