SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
If the Scooter Is Dropped Or Laid Down On It’s Side For Any Reason:
The engine oil may flow out through the crankcase breather tube, into the air cleaner and
°
other systems by transferring oil from the crankcase.
Scooters equipped with the Evaporation Control System can be damaged when the fuel flows
°
incorrectly out of the gas tank and through the breather hose on the top of the tank and back
into the Evaporation Control System.
The battery acid may also leak, if your scooter is equipped with a non-sealed battery. This can
°
damage the paint, metal, rubber and other components. You can neutralize the spilled battery
acid with water and baking soda.
Never allow the scooter to run while lying on its side. This will stop the flow of oil to the critical
°
engine parts.
In addition, fuel from the carburetor bowl may damage the air filter, or empty all its contents
°
into the cylinder and or mix with the engine oil.
An oil change, along with an emission and safety inspection to check for related damage, by
°
your dealer are strongly recommended at that point. Failure to observe this warning could
lead to severe damage to your motor scooter. As with any other accidental damage, this is not
covered by your limited warranty.
