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.
