5.18 STORAGE
To keep the vehicle in good conditions before long term storage,
remember to:
• Start and run the vehicle for about 10 minutes in order to drain
any water and enable oil to spread over all internal mecha-
nisms and walls.
• Remove the spark plug and pour a spoon of engine oil inside
the head and then refit the spark plug.
• Press the starter button a few times so as to allow the oil
poured in to lubricate the parts subject to heat.
• Lubricate the control cables.
• Cover all metal surfaces with a coat of oil (not on rubber or
plastic parts).
• Remove the battery and recharge it.
• Store the vehicle in a dry place.
• During long term storage, make sure there is enough fuel
(approx. 2 litres) in the fuel tank to preserve the fuel pump in
good working order. No fuel in the pump could cause serious
damage.
