CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE

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.
