Storage
If you plan to store the scooter for a long period, perform the following steps.
Have the scooter cleaned thoroughly.
Run the engine for several minutes and shut it off, then drain out the engine oil.
Add new engine oil.
Fill up the fuel tank with fuel, add fuel stabilizer if available to prevent the fuel tank from rusting
and the fuel from deteriorating.
Reduce about 20% tire pressure. Have the scooter’s two wheels raised off the ground.
Carefully apply thin oil on all unpainted metal surfaces to prevent rusting.
Lubricate all cables and the drive chain.
Remove the battery and have it fully charged. Store it in a cool, dry place and charge it once a
month. Make sure the battery is well charged during cold weather.
Cover plastic bag over the muffler to avoid moisture to get in.
Cover the whole scooter to protect it from dust and dirt.

forward view. Any such reduction in forward view is dangerous and can cause severe
CAUTION:
