Rear storage compartment
A helmet can be stored in the rear stor-
age compartment under the seat. (See
page 4-16.) To store a helmet in the
rear storage compartment, place the
helmet upside down with the front fac-
ing the left side. NOTICE: Keep the
following points in mind when using
the storage compartment. Since the
storage compartment accumulates
1
heat when exposed to the sun, do
not store anything susceptible to
heat inside it. To avoid humidity
from spreading through the storage
compartment, wrap wet articles in a
plastic bag before storing them in
the compartment. Since the storage
compartment may get wet while the
scooter is being washed, wrap any
articles stored in the compartment
in a plastic bag. Do not keep any-
thing valuable or breakable in the
storage compartment. Do not leave
the seat open for an extended period
1
of time, otherwise the light may
cause the battery to discharge.
NOTICE: The shaded area is not a
storage compartment. To prevent
damaging the seat hinges, do not
place any items in this area.
