STORAGE GUIDE

Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from non-
use of the scooter. In addition necessary
repairs should be made BEFORE storing the
scooter, otherwise , these repairs may be
forgotten by the time the scooter is removed
from storage.

STORAGE

1. Change the engine oil.
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved
petrol container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method. Spray the inside of the tank
with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
If storage will last more than one month
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage.
WARNING

Petrol is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured
while handling the same.
• Stop the engine and keep heat,
sparks, and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
3. To prevent rusting in the cylinder,

spark plug. Using tape or string, secure
the cap to any convenient plastic body
part so that it is positioned away from
the spark plug.
• Remove the spark plug from the engine
and store it in a safe place. Do not
connect the spark plug to the spark
plug cap.
