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 approxi-
mately 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 avail-
able) 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.
• Remove the battery and keep it in a dry
place. Recharge the battery once a
month.
• Protect the vehicle with a dust cover.
• Drain the carburettor float chamber by
loosening screw A. The fuel drained
from the chamber through a suitable
pipe must be collected in a container
and poured into the fuel tank. Do not
dispose of the fuel in the environment.
• Retighten the screw.
AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY
• Reinstall the battery.
• Restore the tyre inflating pressures.
• Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function.
Note
Periodically check the tightening of the screws.
• Start the vehicle for the first time by means of the kick-start.
