charging again until power to the charger has been disconnected and reconnected.
If your charger is one that will continue to charge even after the battery reaches 100%, you must manually
disconnect power to the charger when charging is complete or the battery may be damaged from overcharging.
These chargers should normally be connected for only a few hours at a time.
If your charger is one that must be disconnected in order to reset it to charge, you must manually do so at
the proper intervals.
CAUTION!
During charging of a small scooter battery, a low volume of hydrogen gas will be emitted.
While opening a window in the room is not generally required, battery charging should always be done far
away from any source of flame or electrical spark.

FUEL SYSTEM
Properly preparing the fuel system before putting your scooter into storage will reduce potential problems
due to a plugged or corroded system. There are two ways this can be accomplished.
A. DRY FUEL SYSTEM
This technique is suitable if you are going to store your bike in a heated location where condensation due
to temperature fluctuations is not a problem.
This requires you to fully drain the entire fuel system including the fuel tank and carburetor. Generally,
you will need to remove the float bowl of the carburetor, and then blow all of the fuel out of the jets with
compressed air to ensure that everything is perfectly dry.
