BASIC MAINTENANCE
The following procedures will help you maintain your scooter for
years of enjoyable riding.
For painted frames, dust the surface and remove any loose
dirt with a dry cloth. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth soaked
in a mild detergent mixture. Dry with a cloth and polish with
car or furniture wax. Use soap and water to clean plasc
parts and rubber res. Chrome plated bikes should be wiped
over with a rust preventave uid.
Store your scooter under shelter. Avoid leaving it in the rain
or exposed to corrosive materials.
Riding on the beach or in coastal areas exposes your scooter
to salt which is very corrosive. Wash your scooter frequently
and wipe or spray all unpainted parts with an an-rust
treatment. Make sure wheel rims are dry so braking
performance is not aected. Aer rain, dry your scooter and
apply an-rust treatment. If the hub bearings of your scooter
have been submerged in water, they should be taken out and
re-greased. This will prevent accelerated bearing
deterioraon.
If paint has become scratched or chipped to the metal, use
touch up paint to prevent rust. Clear nail polish can also be
used as a preventave measure.
Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, ghten
components and make adjustments as required.
