SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
• Support the scooter on a level surface before starting any work.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.
• Work in a well ventilated area. Smoking or allowing flames or sparks in the work area or where the gasoline is stored
can cause a fire or explosion.
• If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine in an
enclosed area.
• The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that may cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation system in an enclosed area.
• The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when
charging.
• The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing
and a face shield.
— If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
— If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician immediately.
