STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for winter,
requires that you take certain steps to
reduce the effects of deterioration from
non-use of the vehicle. In addition,
necessary repairs should be made BEFORE
storing the vehicle; otherwise, these repairs
may be forgotten by the time the vehicle is
removed from storage.
STORAGE
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Empty the fuel tank into an approved
petrol container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent
method. Spray the inside of the tank
with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil.
Reinstall the fuel fill cap on the tank.
If storage will last more than one month,
carburetor draining is very important, to
assure proper performance after storage.
3. To prevent rusting in the cylinder,
perform the following:
• Remove the spark plug cap from
the spark plug. Using tape or
string, secure the cap to any
convenient plastic body part so
that it is positioned away from the
spark plug.
• Remove the spark plug from the
engine and store it in a safe place.
Do not connect the spark plug to
the spark plug cap.
• Pour a table spoon (15-20 cm

)
Petrol is highly flammable and
explosive. You can be burned or
seriously injured when handling fuel.
•
Stop the engine and keep heat,
sparks, and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
