Cleaning the scooter. Brushing with paraffin and wiping dry with clean rags is advisable for
external cleaning of engine. All painted surfaces should be washed with water, cleaned using
a sponge and wiped dry with chamois leather. Do not use paraffin in such surfaces as it
damages paint and turns it dull. If necessary, blow the headlamp reflector clean wipe off dust
with a very soft feather duster Do not use a cloth and keep fingers of the reflector surface.
Laying up. In this case, proceed as follows:
- Clean the scooter thoroughly (see above).
- With engine not running, rotate the throttle control twist grip to its fullest extent; pump 40 cc
(2.5 cu in) of ESSO SAE 30 into the carburetor intake through the hole on the air cleaner
cover (see Fig. 6); and then depress the kick-starter three our four times.
- Support the chassis of the machine on two wooden blocks ensuring that the tires are clear
of the ground.
- Empty the fuel tank.
- Grease all unpainted metal parts.
