MAINTENANCE
STORAGE GUIDE
Extended storage, such as for the winter months, requires that
you take certain steps to reduce the effects of deterioration
from the non-use of your scooter. Whenever possible, perform
any necessary periodic maintenance or repairs before storage
so the scooter will be in good condition for riding when it is
removed from storage.
Storage
1. Change the engine oil and filter.
2. Make sure the cooling system is filled with a 50/50% anti-
freeze solution.
3. Drain the carburetor (if equipped) and empty the fuel tank
into an approved gasoline container using a commercially
available hand siphon or an equivalent method. Spray the
inside of the tank with an aerosol rust-inhibiting oil. Close
the fuel filler cap on the fuel tank
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can
be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Stop
the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Re-
fuel the scooter outdoors and wipe up any spills imme-
diately.
4. To prevent rusting in the cylinders, perform the following:
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and use tape
or string to secure the caps to any convenient plastic body part
so that they are positioned away from the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plugs from the engine and store them in
a safe, dry place. Do not connect the spark plugs to the
spark plug caps.
Pour a tablespoon (15 - 20 cc) of clean engine oil into each
cylinder and cover the spark plug holes with a piece of cloth.
Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil.
Reinstall the spark plugs and spark plug caps.
5. Remove the battery. Store it in an area protected from freez-
ing temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow charge the bat-
tery once a month (use a quality charger designed for use
on a maintenance-free type battery).
6. Wash and dry the scooter. Wax all painted surfaces. Coat
the chrome or bare aluminum parts with rust inhibiting oil.
7. Inflate the tires to their recommended pressures. Place the
scooter on blocks to raise both tires of f the ground.
8. Cover the scooter (don't use plastic or other coated materi-
als) and store in an unheated area, free of excessive mois-
ture, with a minimum of daily temperature variation. Do not
store the scooter in direct sunlight as the sun's UV rays can
damage the body work and other components.
