MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean your scooter regularly to protect the
surface finishes and inspect for damage, wear,
and oil, coolant or brake fluid leakage.
Avoid cleaning products that are not specifically
designed for scooter, scooter, or automobile
surfaces. Nonspecific cleaners may contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents that could damage
the metal, paint, and plastic on your scooter.
NOTE
:
If your scooter is still warm from recent operation,
give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off before
washing. Avoid the use of high pressure water spray (typical
in coin-operated car washes), as the powerful spray can
damage components on your scooter.
Washing your scooter
1.Rinse the scooter thoroughly with cool
water to remove any loose dirt.
2. Clean the scooter with a sponge or soft
cloth using cool water. Avoid directing
water at muffler outlets and electrical
parts.
3. Clean the plastic parts using a cloth or
sponge dampened with a solution of mild
detergent and water. Rub the soiled
area gently, rinsing it frequently with fresh
water. Take care to keep brake fluid or
other chemical solvents away from the
scooter, as they will damage the plastic
and painted surfaces.
4.
After cleaning, rinse the scooter
thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
This rinsing is required to remove
detergent residue which can corrode alloy
parts.
