PROLONGED INACTIVITY
A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition
whenever it is to remain inactive for a long period (e.g. during the winter):
%
Thoroughly clean the vehicle.
%
Reduce the tyre pressures by approximately 30 percent, and if possible raise the
tyres off the ground.
%
Remove the spark plug and pour a few drops of engine oil into the spark plug hole.
Make the engine turn a few times by operating the kick-start (where available) and
then replace the spark plug.
%
Cover the unpainted parts, excepting the brakes and the rubber parts, with a film
of oil or spray silicone.
%
Protect the vehicle with a dust cover.
%
Drain the carburetor tank as described at page 42.
AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY
%
Restore the tyre inflating pressures.
%
Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function.
To prevent malfunction of the electrical system, treat electric contacts and switches
with electrical contact spray.
ATTENTION: any oxidation of electrical contacts may result in serious malfunc-
tioning.
