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 (if fuel is left in for a longer time, the fuel will break, and gummy substance could
clog the throttle body).
• Remove the spark plug and put several drops of engine 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.
• Ensure vehicle cleanliness & apply antirust oil ( Parco Lubricant PL 101 of M/s Hankle) on fasteners & completely
cover the vehicle (It is mandatory to cover the vehicle after application of anti rust oil).
• 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.
