After a long period of inactivity of the vehi-
cle some precautions are necessary to
avoid any problem.

Further, it is important to carry out the nec-
essary repairs and a general check up be-
fore the period of inactivity, since you could
forget to carry them out later.

Proceed as follows:

◆

Empty the fuel tank and the carburettor,
s e e p . 7 6 ( D R A I N I N G T H E F U E L
TANK).

◆

Extract the spark plug, see p. 64
(SPARK PLUG) and pour a teaspoon (5-
10 cm

) of two-stroke engine oil into the

cylinder,

NOTE

Put a clean cloth on the cylinder,

near the spark plug seat, in order to protect
it from oil sprays.

◆

Move the ignition switch to position “

”,

press the start push button “

” for a few

seconds, to distribute the oil evenly on
the cylinder surfaces.

◆

Remove the cloth.

◆

Put back the spark plug.

◆

Remove the battery, see p. 66 (REMOV-
ING THE BATTERY).

◆

Wash and dry the vehicle, see p. 77
(CLEANING).

◆

Polish the painted surfaces with wax.

◆

Inflate the tyres, see p. 32 (TYRES).

◆

By means of a suitable support, position
the vehicle so that both tyres are raised
from the ground.

◆

Place the vehicle in an unheated, not-hu-
mid room, away from sunlight, with mini-
mum temperature variations.

◆

Position and tie a plastic bag on the final
pipe of the exhaust silencer, in order to
prevent moisture from getting into it.

◆

Cover the vehicle avoiding the use of
plastic or waterproof materials.

AFTER A PERIOD OF INACTIVITY

◆

Uncover and clean the vehicle, see p. 77
(CLEANING).

◆

Check the charge of the battery, see p.
68 (

RECHARGING THE BATTERY),

(
