Storage, maintenance and cleaning

CAUTION
If there are stains on the body of the scooter, wipe with a damp cloth. If the stains persist, apply neutral soap, brush out with
a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth. If there are scratches on the plastic components, use sandpaper or other abrasive
material to remove them. Do not clean the items with alcohol, petrol, paraffin or other corrosive or volatile chemical solvents
to prevent severe damage. Do not wash the item using high-pressure water jets. When cleaning the scooter, make sure that
it is switched off, that the charging cable is disconnected, and the rubber cap is closed, as a water leak may cause an electric
shock or other serious problems. Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to internal circuits and risk of fire or
explosion. Should you suspect that water may have entered the battery, stop using the battery immediately and return it to your
dealer's after-sales service for checking.
When the item is not in use, store it indoors in a cool, dry place. Do not store outdoors or inside cars for extended periods of
time. Excessive sunlight, overheating, and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and jeopardize the life of both the item and
the battery. Do not expose it to rain or water or immerse it in water to wash it.
Regularly check the tightness of the bolted parts, in particular wheel axles, the folding and transportation system, the steering
system, the braking system, the state of the frame, the forks and the suspension. Nuts and all other self-locking fasteners may
lose their effectiveness. Periodically check and tighten these components.
Like all mechanical components, the item is subject to wear and tear. Different materials and components may react to wear
or stress fatigue in a variety of ways. If the service life of a component is exceeded, it may break suddenly, resulting in injury
to the rider. Any cracks, scratches or changes in colour in areas subject to high levels of stress indicate that the life of the
component has been reached and must be replaced.
Check the condition of the tyres: there must be no cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, abnormal swelling, missing parts or other
damage. For tyre pressure, refer to the value indicated in section 11 in this instruction manual.
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the scooter yourself. Replacement of all scooter components should be carried out by
the technical service department. For further information, contact your dealer or visit www.apriliasmartmovement.it/en/
