Storage, Maintenance And Cleaning - VR46 MOTOR BIKE-X Manuel D'utilisation

9. Storage, maintenance and cleaning

If there are stains on the body of the scooter, wipe with a damp cloth. If the stains persist, apply neutral soap, brush out with a toothbrush, then
wipe with a damp cloth. If there are scratches on the plastic components, use sandpaper or other abrasive material to remove them. Do not clean
the items with alcohol, petrol, paraffin or other corrosive or volatile chemical solvents to prevent severe damage. Do not wash the item with jets
of high pressure water. When cleaning the scooter, make sure that it is switched off, that the charging cable is disconnected, and the rubber cap
is closed, as a water leak may cause an electric shock or other serious problems. Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to internal
circuits and risk of fire or explosion. Should you suspect that water may have entered the battery, stop using the battery immediately and return it
to your dealer's after-sales service for checking.
When the item is not in use, store it indoors in a cool, dry place. Do not store outdoors or inside cars for extended periods of time. Excessive
sunlight, overheating, and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and jeopardize the life of both the item and the battery. Do not expose it to rain or
water or immerse it in water to wash it.
Regularly check the tightness of the bolted parts, in particular wheel axles, the folding and transportation system, the steering system, the
braking system, the state of the frame, the forks and the suspension. Nuts and all other self-locking fasteners may lose their effectiveness.
Periodically check and tighten these components.
Like all mechanical components, the item is subject to wear and tear. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in
a variety of ways. If the service life of a component is exceeded, it may break suddenly, resulting in injury to the rider. Any cracks, scratches or
changes in colour in areas subject to high levels of stress indicate that the life of the component has been reached and must be replaced.
Check the condition of the tyres: there must be no cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, abnormal swelling, missing parts or other damage. For the tyre
pressure refer to the value on the side of the tyre (recommended value).
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the scooter yourself. Replacement of all the components of the Motorbike-X must be carried out by the
authorised technical assistance service. To find out more contact your dealer or visit the website www.vr46e-mobility.com
