SCOOTER CARE AND STORAGE EAK01102 EUU34602 A. CLEANING Frequent, thorough cleaning of your scooter will not only enhance its appearance but will improve its general performance and extend the useful life of many components. 1. Before cleaning the scooter: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water entry; a plastic bag and strong rubber band may be used. b. Make sure the spark plug(s) and all filler caps are properly installed. 8 2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not apply degreaser to wheel axles. 3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure to do the job. CAUTION: Excessive hose pressure may cause water seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings, front fork, brakes, transmission seals and electrical devices. Many expensive repair bills have resulted from improper high pressure detergent applications such as those available in coinoperated car washers. 4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm water and mild, detergenttype soap. An old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy for hard-to-get-at places. 5. Rinse the scooter off immediately with clean water and dry all surfaces with a chamois, clean towel, or soft absorbent cloth. 6. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the cover pliable and glossy. 8-1 7. Automotive-type wax may be applied to all painted and chrome-plated surfaces. Avoid combination cleanerwaxes. Many contain abrasives which may mar the paint or protective finish. When finished, start the engine and let it idle for several minutes.
