PROLONGED INACTIVITY
A few simple operations should be performed to keep the vehicle in good condition
whenever it is to remain inactive for a long period (e.g. during the winter):
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.
Cover the unpainted parts, excepting the brakes and the rubber parts, with a fi lm
of oil or spray silicone.
Protect the vehicle with a dust cover.
Drain the carburetor tank as described at page 41.
AFTER PROLONGED INACTIVITY
Restore the tyre infl ating pressures.
Check the tightening of all the screws having an important mechanical function.
