Instructions for Storage
If the vehicle is not going to be used for a long period of time, for example,
in winter time, some steps should be taken to prevent malfunction of and
damage to its components which might be caused by long storage. Before
storing the vehicle for a long period, proper maintenance has to be done.
1. Change engine oil and clean oil and air filters.
2. Drain off fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, spray atomized anti-rust oil
onto the inside wall of the tank and then close the tank. Dispose of any
drained fuel properly so as not to adversely affect the environment.
Attention:
If the storage will last for more than one month, fuel in the carburetor
must be fully drained. This will help ensure that the carburetor maintains
its normal performance after the storage.
3. Take out the spark plug, pour about 15-20ml (.5 - .68 oz.) of clean engine
oil into the cylinder, step down on the kick lever several times so as to
have machine oil distributed inside the engine and finally fit the spark
plug back on.
4. Wash the vehicle clean, wipe it dry and apply an even coat of wax to the
painted surface and a coat of anti-rust oil on the chrome-plated surfaces.
5. Inflate the tires as required and put the vehicle up on wooden blocks with
the two wheels clearing the ground.
6. Put the vehicle in a shady and cool place free from humidity and direct
sunlight and cover it properly (not with plastic or other painted materials).
If there is a garage, store it within.
