• 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.

of oil or spray silicone.
• Ensure the battery is always charged.
