Basic care of your Capri scooter
Your Capri scooter is meant to operate in all kinds of weather conditions. Riding your Capri
in extreme snow, ice and rain are typically not advisable. Proper dress and weather protection
gear are available from many quality after market suppliers. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Even though your scooter is designed with UV plastic materials, sunlight will break down plastic
(turn it brittle) during long periods of exposure.
Storing your Capri
The Capri should be stored in a clean dry space. Extreme moisture and dampness should be
avoided. If you live close to an ocean avoid prolonged exposure to ocean spray or salt water.
If either comes in contact with your scooter clean it immediately.
Washing
A quality automotive soap works best in getting off road dirt and grime. Avoid brushes and
abusive scrub pads. All of these will scratch your beautiful scooters finish. Use a soft sponge or
hand towel to wash the body panels.
Waxing
A good quality wax will go along way in keeping your scooter looking like new. A spray wax
is easiest to apply and is very effective in coating the metal screws that hold the body panels
together. Spray all of the body panel with the wax and buff off the excess.
Tires and Vinyl Surfaces
Clean your tires and vinyl seats, parts and rims with the same solution used to wash the body
panels. Use a quality rubber and vinyl dressing on these surfaces.
Maintenance
Your Capri Scooter is virtually maintenance free. We have however prepared a Professional
Maintenance Schedule to follow. Lumination points, brakes and electrical systems should be
checked by a qualified professional powersports dealer.
DO NOT allow water to come in contact with the
ignition key area or under carriage drive system.
AVOID the use of high pressure washer systems on
body panel parts. Hand washing is best. DO NOT use
acetone based solvents to clean any area of the
scooter.
