INSTRUCTIONS FOR STORAGE
If the vehicle is not going to be used for a long period of time, for example, in winter time, some steps
should be taken to prevent malfunction of and damage to its components which might be caused by long
storage. Before storing the vehicle for a long period, proper maintenance has to be done.
1. Change engine oil and clean oil and air filters.
2. Drain off fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, spray atomized anti-rust oil onto the inside wall of the
tank and then close the tank. Dispose of any drained fuel properly so as not to adversely affect the
environment.
Attention:
If the storage will last for more than one month, fuel in the carburetor must be fully drained. This will help
ensure that the carburetor maintains its normal performance after the storage.
WARING
Gasoline is flammable and may cause fire and even an explosion under certain conditions. Therefore,
do not smoke, make a fire or have any fire around while draining off fuel.
3. Take out the spark plug, pour about 15-20ml (.5 - .68 oz.) of clean engine oil into the cylinder, start the
engine several times so as to have machine oil distributed inside the engine and finally fit the spark plug
back on.
4. Wash the vehicle clean, wipe it dry and apply an even coat of wax to the painted surface and a coat of
anti-rust oil on the chrome-plated surfaces.
5. Inflate the tires as required and put the vehicle up on wooden blocks with the two wheels clearing the
ground.
6. Put the vehicle in a shady and cool place free from humidity and direct sunlight and cover it properly
(not with plastic or other painted materials).
If there is a garage, store it within.
