MAINTENANCE

Storage area and covering
Support the vehicle with stands under the frame with the tires 30~40mm (1/2in) off the ground. Be
sure the storage area is well ventilated, and cover the machine with an approved cover.
NOTE:
Do not use covers made of plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation to
prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.
Transporting the vehicle
Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle:
Turn off the engine and remove the key to prevent loss during transporting.
Ensure the fuel cap is installed correctly and secure.
Ensure the seat is installed correctly and secure.
Place the gear into any position except the parking position, and block the front and rear
wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Secure both the front and rear of the vehicle frame to the transport to prevent the vehicle
from sliding or moving.
Never transport with the gear selector in the parking position.
Damage to the engine and transmission may result.
