Periods of inactivity (03_45)
We recommend carrying out the following operations:
1. Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;
2 . With the engine off and the piston in the bottom dead centre position, remove the
spark plug, and pour into its hole 1 t0 2 cc of the recommended oil. Operate the starter
button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly, then insert the
spark plug again;
3 . Ensure that the fuel tank is at least half full (in order to ensure the total im-
mersion of the fuel pump) ; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts;
keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;
4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the "Battery" section.

Cleaning the vehicle
Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the
painted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body sponge
soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water).
Then rinse abundantly with water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the outside of the
engine, use petroleum, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Re-
member that any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.
CAUTION
DETERGENTS CAN POLLUTE WATER. THE VEHICLE MUST BE WASHED AT A
WASH STATION EQUIPPED WITH A SPECIAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM.
