Inactivity of the vehicle (03_42)
We recommend carrying out the following operations:
1. Clean the vehicle thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;
2 . With the engine off and the piston in the bottom dead centre position, remove the
spark plug, and pour into its hole 1 t0 2 cc of the recommended oil. Operate the starter
button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly, then insert the
spark plug again;
3 . Ensure that the fuel tank is at least half full (in order to ensure the total im-
mersion of the fuel pump) ; spread antirust grease on the uncoated metal parts; keep
the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;
4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the «Battery» section.

Cleaning the vehicle
Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the
painted surfaces. Once softened, mud and dirt should be removed with a soft sponge
for bodywork soaked in water and "shampoo" (2-4% of shampoo in water). Then rinse
abundantly with water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the outside of the engine,
use petroleum, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Remember
that any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.
