Vehicle Maintenance - E-max 100LD User Manual

4. Vehicle maintenance

All parts of a motorbike are equally at risk of corrosion because of aggressive pollutants in the air
and from the effects of salt on the road. It is the responsibility of the user to adequately protect
the vehicle from these factors. This will help to maintain the value of the vehicle and any
warranty claims.
1. Clean painted chassis parts with finish restorer and treat the rubber parts with special rubber
care products
2. Clean the vehicle regularly
3. Clean aluminium parts with a protective spray (e.g. Motoplast) in order to prevent oxidation.
Carefully remove existing spots of corrosion on aluminium with appropriate steel wool containing
soap
4. Always oil or grease frame and metal parts. This reduces corrosion
5. Never remove insects with an insect sponge or any similarly hard object
6. A vehicle that is constantly parked outdoors must be covered with a protective covering in order
to prevent weathering of painted panels, as well as to prevent cracking of seats and other plastic
parts
7. Do not use a high pressure cleaner!!
Water particles could lead to contact problems in the electronics
8. Seats, instrument panels, indicators, rear light and weather protection screens as well as
hardened dirt and insects are to be cleaned with an insect remover, not with an insect sponge as
this can result in scratches
