SECTION 4 -
MAINTENANCE
The importance of maintenance
Maintaining your scooter properly is essential for safe, eco-
nomical and trouble-free riding. It will also help reduce air pol-
lution 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 appropri-
ate intervals.
These instructions are based on the assumption that your
scooter will be used exclusively for its designed purpose. Sus-
tained, high-speed operation, or operation in unusually wet or
dusty conditions, will require more frequent service than speci-
fied in the maintenance schedule. Consult your KYMCO dealer
for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and
use.
NOTE: Always follow the inspection and maintenance rec-
ommendations and schedules in this Owner's Manual.

If your scooter tips over or becomes involved in a crash,
be sure your KYMCO dealer inspects all major parts,
even if you are able to make some repairs.
Improperly maintaining this scooter, or failing to cor-
rect 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. Ex-
haust gas contains carbon monoxide, a gas that is col-
orless and odorless, and can cause death or severe in-
jury. Operate the engine only where there is adequate
ventilation, preferably outdoors.
