PROLONGED INACTIVITY
A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition

mately 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 avail-
able) 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.
•
Remove the battery and keep it in a dry
place. Recharge the battery once a
month.

Protect the vehicle with a dust cover.
•
Drain the carburettor float chamber by
loosening screw

from the chamber through a suitable
pipe must be collected in a container
and poured into the fuel tank. Do not
dispose of the fuel in the environment.
