Storage
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will request some protective proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. After
completely cleaning the machine, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor
oil in the spark plug hole and reinstall the
spark plug. Ground the spark plug wire and
turn the engine over several times to coat the
cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4.Block up the frame to raise all wheels off
the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe out-
let to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a damp or salty atmosphere,
coat all exposed metal surfaces with a light
film of oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber parts
or the seat cover.
7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store it
in a dry place and recharge it once a month.
Do not store the battery in an extremely warm
or cold place (less than 0
℃
(30
o
F
) or more
than 30
℃
(90
o
F
).
