10.Inspection and maintenance before riding
CAUTION:
! This is a closed type battery. Never remove the caps.
! In order to prevent electric leakage and self-discharge when the battery sits idle for long periods.
Remove battery from scooter, store it in a well- ventilated and dimly lighted place after the battery
has been fully charged. Disconnect battery’s negative cable if the battery is still kept on the scooter.
! If the battery needs to be replaced, replace with a same closed-type battery (Maintenance-Free).
TIRE INSPECTION
! Tires should be checked and inflated with the engine shut off.
! If a tire’s ground contacting curve is abnormal, check it with an air pressure gauge and inflate it to the
specified pressure.
! Tires pressure must be checked with an air pressure gauge when cold.
PLEASE REFER TO SPECIFICATIONS FOR STANDARD TIRE PRESSURE
! Visual check tires for frontal and lateral side walls for crack or damage.
! Visual check tires for any nails or small stones wedged in the tread.
! Check the “tread wear indicator” condition to see if tread groove depth is insufficient.
! A tire with a wear bar showing is worn out and should be replaced immediately.
CAUTION:
Abnormal tire pressure, wear, or crack is the most important cause that results in the loss control of the
steering handle and a punctured tire(s).
Foreign materials (nails or small stones)
