Non-Use Maintenance
Non-use maintenance is necessary if a vehicle remains off road for a longer duration (more than 15 days**). The correct
and careful non-use maintenance carried out before storing the vehicle will prevent the vehicle from rusting and from
such other non-operational damages like fire hazards.
Clean the entire vehicle thoroughly.
Empty the fuel from the fuel tank and carburettor float bowl (if fuel is left in for a longer time, the fuel will break and
gummy substance could clog the carburettor).
Remove the spark plug and put several drops of 2T oil into the cylinder. Self start the engine a few times to coat the
cylinder wall with oil and install back the spark plug.
Set the vehicle on a box or a stand so that both the wheels are raised off the ground.
Spray oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting. Avoid getting oil on rubber parts or brake liners.
Lubricate the control cables.
Cover the entire vehicle neatly. Ensure that the storage area is well ventilated & free from any source of flames or
spark.
Fill 10% excess air pressure in both wheels.
Remove battery and keep it on wooden plank, in properly ventilated area.
Before taking the vehicle for use.
Get the battery recharged from the Authorised Service Center / Battery Dealer.

Make sure the spark plugs are tightly fitted.
