Storage Guide - DAELIM NS 125 DLX Owner's Manual

STORAGE GUIDE

Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the motorcycle.
In addition, necessary repairs should be
made BEFORE storing the motorcycle;
otherwise, these repairs may be forgotten
by the time the motorcycle is removed
from storage.
<STORAGE>
Empty the fuel tank into an approved
gasoline container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method.
If storage will last more than one month,
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage.

in a well-ventilated area with the

allow flames or sparks in the area
where gasoline is drained or stored
and where the fuel tank is refueled.
Remove the battery. Store in an area
protected from freezing temperatures
and direct sunlight.
Slow charge the battery once a month.
