Cleaning Your Scooter - KYMCO Aglity 50 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean your scooter regularly to protect the surface finishes
and inspect for damage, wear, and oil, coolant or brake fluid
leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not specifically designed for
scooter, motorcycle, or automobile surfaces. Nonspecific clean-
ers may contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that
could damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your scooter.
NOTE: If your scooter is still warm from recent operation,
give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off be-
fore washing. Avoid the use of high pressure water spray
(typical in coin-operated car washes), as the powerful
spray can damage components on your scooter.
Washing your scooter
1. Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool water to remove any
loose dirt.
2. Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft cloth using cool water.
Avoid directing water at muffler outlets and electrical parts.
3. Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or sponge dampened with
a solution of mild detergent and water. Rub the soiled area
gently, rinsing it frequently with fresh water. Take care to keep
brake fluid or other chemical solvents away from the scooter,
as they will damage the plastic and painted surfaces.
4. After cleaning, rinse the scooter thoroughly with plenty of
clean water. This rinsing is required to remove detergent
residue which can corrode alloy parts.
5. Dry the scooter and then start the engine, allowing it to run
for several minutes.
NOTE: The inside of the headlight lens may become clouded
immediately after washing the scooter. Moisture condensa-
tion inside the headlight lens will disappear gradually as it is
heated by the headlight. After washing, run the engine while
keeping the headlight on to dissipate any condensation.
