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 fuel from fuel tank and carburetor, spray atomized anti-rust oil onto the
inside wall of tank and close 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 carburetor must be
fully drained. This will help ensure that the carburetor maintains its normal
performance after storage.
3. Take spark plug out, pour about 15-20 ml (0.5 - 0.68 oz.) of clean engine oil
into cylinder, step down on kick lever repetitively several times so as to have
machine oil distributed all over engine and finally place spark plug back on.
Attention:
The ignition switch must be set to “ ” (OFF) position before stepping down
on kick lever. To protect ignition system from damage, 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 chrome-plated surfaces.
5. Inflate tires as required and put vehicle up on wooden blocks with the two
wheels clearing the ground.
6. Put 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.
