PROLONGED INACTIVITY

A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition

whenever it is to remain inactive for a long period (e.g. during the winter):

• Thoroughly clean the vehicle.

• Reduce the tyre pressures by approximately 30 percent, and if possible raise the

tyres off the ground.

• Remove the spark plug and pour a few drops of engine oil into the spark plug hole.

Make the engine turn a few times by operating the kick-start (where available) and

then replace the spark plug.

• Cover the unpainted parts, excepting the brakes and the rubber parts, with a ﬁ lm

of oil or spray silicone.

• Remove the battery and keep it in a dry place. Charge the battery every 15 days.

AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY

• Reinstall the battery.

• Restore the tyre inﬂ ating pressures.

• Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function.

Note:

Periodically check the tightening of the screws.

• Start the vehicle for the ﬁ rst time by means of the kick-start.

• Protect the vehicle with a dust cover.

• Drain the carburetor ﬂ oat chamber by

loosening screw A. The fuel drained from

the chamber through a suitable pipe must

be collected in a container and poured

into the fuel tank. Do not dispose of the

fuel in the environment.

• Retighten the screw.
