RIDING YOUR TVS JUPITER
Evaporation
Vehicle parked in the hot sun leads to wastage of fuel
through evaporation. Also lower fuel levels in the tank will
have increased evaporation and condensation of moisture
inside.
Ensure to close fuel tank cap after every filling, if the fuel
tank cap kept open for long time, it leads to fuel loss and
hazard to safety also.
Tyres
Low tyre pressure has adverse effect on a vehicle. The drag
on the vehicle increases resulting decreased fuel economy.
Further more, handling may be adversely affected.
Inspect the tyre pressure regularly (weekly) and inflate it to
the recommended pressure (refer page 42). Never use tyres,
which are worn beyond the permissible limit.
Wheel freeness
Inspect and ensure the wheel freeness by rotating the wheel
at least once in a week to avoid wastage of fuel.
Avoid unnecessary idling
While waiting for someone or stopping in signals for long
time, if the engine is kept running at idle speed, it causes
30
unnecessary wastage of fuel.
Avoid frequent braking
Anticipate corners and slopes as well as the traffic
conditions. Unnecessary and frequent braking will reduce
the fuel economy. Never accelerate and apply brake
simultaneously. It leads clutch shoes wear and wastage of
fuel.
