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 carried in case maintenance is not

completed when the vehicle is put back into use after storage.

1. Change engine oil and clean oil ﬁlter.

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.

3. Take out the spark plug, pour about 15-20ml (.5 - .68 oz.) of clean engine oil into

the cylinder, step down on the kick lever repetitively several times so as to have

machine oil distributed all over the engine and ﬁnally ﬁt the spark plug back on.

Attention:

The ignition switch must be set to “

” (OFF) position before stepping down on the

kick lever. To protect the ignition system from damage, the spark plug should be

inserted in its cap and grounded.

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.

WARNING

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.
