SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE

Storage

Short-term

Always store your scooter in a cool,

dry place and, if necessary, protect

it against dust with a porous cover.

cC

9 Storing the scooter in a poorly

ventilated room or covering it

with a tarp while it is still wet

will allow water and humidity

to seep in and cause rust.

9 To prevent corrosion, avoid

damp cellars, stables (because

of the presence of ammonia)

and areas where strong chemi-

cals are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your scooter for sev-

eral months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the

“Care” section of this chapter.

2. Drain the carburetor float cham-

bers by loosening the drain

bolts; this will prevent fuel de-

posits from building up. Pour

the drained fuel into the fuel

tank.

3. Only for scooters equipped with

a fuel cock which has an “OFF”

position: Turn the fuel cock to

“OFF”.

4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel

stabilizer (if available) to prevent

the fuel tank from rusting and

the fuel from deteriorating.

5. Perform the following steps to

protect the cylinder, piston

rings, etc. from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug cap and

spark plug.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine

oil into the spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug cap onto

the spark plug and place the

spark plug on the cylinder head

so that the electrodes are

grounded. (This will limit spark-

ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over several

times with the starter. (This will

coat the cylinder wall with oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug cap

from the spark plug, install the

spark plug and then the spark

plug cap.

When turning the engine over, be

sure to ground the spark plug elec-

trodes to prevent damage or injury

from sparking.
