INSTRUCTIONS FOR STORAGE
If the vehicle is not going to be used for a long period of time, for example, in winter time,
some steps should be taken to prevent malfunction of and damage to its components
which might be caused by long storage. Before storing the vehicle for a long period , proper
maintenance has to be carried in case maintenance is not completed when the vehicle is put
back into use after storage.
1. Change engine oil and oil filter.
2. Drain off fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, spray atomized anti-rust oil onto the
inside wall of the tank and then close the tank. Dispose of any drained fuel properly so as
not to adversely affect the environment.
Attention:
If the storage will last for more than one month, fuel in the carburetor must be fully
drained. This will help ensure that the carburetor maintains its normal performance after
the storage.
3. Take out the spark plug, pour about 15-20ml (.5 - .68 oz.) of clean engine oil into the
cylinder, step down on the kick lever repetitively several times so as to have machine oil
distributed all over the engine and finally fit the spark plug back on.
Attention:
The ignition switch must be set to “ ” (OFF) position before stepping down on the kick
lever. To protect the ignition system from damage, the spark plug should be inserted in its
cap and grounded.
4. Wash the vehicle clean, wipe it dry and apply an even coat of wax to the painted surface
and a coat of anti-rust oil on the chrome-plated surfaces.
5. Inflate the tires as required and put the vehicle up on wooden blocks with the two wheels
clearing the ground.
6. Put the vehicle in a shady and cool place free from humidity and direct sunlight and cover
it properly (not with plastic or other painted materials). If there is a garage, store it within.
WARNING
Gasoline is flammable and may cause fire and even an explosion under certain
conditions. Therefore, do not smoke, make a fire or have any fire around while draining
off fuel.
