Draining The Fuel Tank - APRILIA RS 125 - 1995 Manual

TRANSPORT
c
Before transporting the vehicle, it is nec-
essary to empty the fuel tank and the car-
burettor completely, making sure that both are
completely dry.
During transport the vehicle must be held up-
right, in its normal use position, to avoid any oil
and battery fluid leakage.

DRAINING THE FUEL TANK

– Read page 29, "FUEL", carefully .
– Stop the engine.
– Empty the fuel tank by means of a manual pump or
a similar system.
– Put the free end of the fuel draining pipe into a re-
ceptacle.
– Open the carburettor breather acting on the drain
screw.
When all the fuel has flowed out, turn the drain screw
until the breather shuts.
CLEANING
a
After the vehicle has been washed, its
braking functions could be temporarily
impaired because of the presence of wa-
ter on the grip surfaces.
Calculate long braking distances to avoid acci-
dents. Brake repeatedly to restore normal condi-
tions.
To remove dirt and mud from the painted surfaces
use a low- pressure water jet; carefully wet the dirty
parts, remove mud and filth with a soft car sponge
impregnated with a lot of water and shampoo (2 ÷ 4%
parts of shampoo in water).
Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with chamois
leather.
To clean the front plastic protection use neutral soap
only.
To clean the outer parts of the engine use a degreas-
er, brushes and wipers.
Polish with silicone wax only after having carefully
washed the vehicle.
