The Importance Of Maintenance - KYMCO DOWNTOWN 300i 2011 Owner's Manual

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTENANCE

The importance of maintenance
Maintaining your scooter properly is essential for safe, economical and trouble-free riding. It will also help reduce air pollution and maximize fuel
economy.
To help you properly care for your scooter, the following pages in this Owner's Manual include a maintenance schedule to help you make sure your
scooter is serviced at the appropriate intervals.
These instructions are based on the assumption that your scooter will be used exclusively for its designed purpose. Sustained high speed
operation, or operation in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service than specified in the maintenance schedule. Consult
your local authorized KYMCO dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.
NOTE: Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this Owner's Manual.
If your scooter tips over or becomes involved in a crash, be sure your local
authorized KYMCO dealer inspects all major parts, even if you are able to
make some repairs.
Improperly maintaining this scooter or failing to correct a problem before you
ride could result in a crash in which you could be seriously hurt or killed.
When performing maintenance on your scooter, you may need to start the
engine. Running your scooter's engine indoors or in a garage can be
hazardous. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odourless gas that can cause death or severe injury. Operate the engine only
where there is adequate ventilation, preferably outdoors.
