MAINTENANCE
While washing, braking sur-
faces come into contact with wa-
ter and degreasing products: this
involves a temporary fall in braking
power and increase in braking
distance.
In order to restore normal opera-
tion, drive the scooter cautiously
and activate the brakes numerous
times.
If you are using a pressure
washer to clean the scooter, take
care not to direct the water jet
onto the electrical and/or mechanical
parts.
Clean the vehicle more frequently if you
regularly drive on gritted/salted roads.
If there are chrome-plated
parts, use specifi c products for
treating and cleaning chromium.
The use of non-appropri-
ate products or washing methods
could cause surfaces to lose their
shine.
Use cold water to remove
salt as hot water increases the
corrosive effect of it.
When cleaning the vehicle it is important
to do little things to respect the envi-
ronment. So always use biodegradable
products and spray solutions that do not
contain CFCs (chlorofl uorocarbons).
Dispose of the products for
cleaning the scooter in accord-
ance with the recycling methods
laid down by the statutory regula-
tions in force in each country.
Do not use strong deter-
gents or any type of harsh chem-
ical product (degreasers etc.) for
cleaning the windscreen.
Only use soft sponges in order to
avoid removing the anti-scratch/
anti-refl ective treatment.
Never use harsh chemical
products on the plastic compo-
nents (fairing, panels, windscreen,
headlight lenses etc.)
Do not use sponges or cloths
which have come into contact with
abrasive chemical products, sol-
vents, thinners, rust treatments,
brake fl uid, antifreeze etc.
