STORAGE PROCEDURES
For storage of your scooter for longer period of over
a month and above, we recommend to carry out the
following steps:
1. Clean the vehicle thoroughly. Park the vehicle on
centre stand.
2. Warm up the engine and drain engine oil and
transmission oil. Store the oil, if new, in a dust
free container.
3. Empty the fuel tank.
4. Drain the petrol from carburettor.
5. Remove the spark plug and feed in several drops
of engine oil through spark plug hole. Crank the
engine few times and reinstall the spark plug.
6. Remove the battery, store it away from direct
sunlight and freezing temperatures.
7. Place a suitable support at the bottom of the foot
board so that both the tyres are off the ground.
This will ensure better tyre life.
8. Cover up the vehicle completely with a clean
tarpaulin or any other suitable cover. Store the
vehicle inside a garage or similar area to avoid
damage due to dust and rain. Make sure that the
storage area is well ventilated and free from any
source of flame or spark.
TAKING THE VEHICLE OUT OF STORAGE FOR
REGULAR USE
1. Take the vehicle out of garage and clean it
thoroughly.
2. Remount the battery after bench charging if
required.
3. Fill the engine oil (TVS TRU4 SKUTTA oil - SAE
10W30 API-SL, JASO MB) and check the oil level
using gauge oil level.
4. Fill the transmission oil (TVS TRU4 SKUTTA oil -
SAE 10W30 API-SL, JASO MB) and check the oil
level at the oil level screw.
5. Lubricate the parts as instructed in the periodic
maintenance schedule.
6. Fill up fresh petrol in the fuel tank.
Do not park the vehicle on a slope or soft ground or else
it may fall down. The exhaust system becomes hot after
a run. Park the vehicle in a place where pedestrians or
children are not likely to touch the vehicle.
During storage, the battery must be recharged at
recommended charger if stored more than a month.
