Routine Care and Maintenance
WARNING
• When performing routine maintenance on the scooter, NEVER start or run the engine in an enclosed area,
even if the doors and/or windows are open. ALWAYS start and operate the scooter outdoors.
• Allow the engine, muffler and other hot parts to cool before touching.
• Conduct cleaning and maintenance using the center stand (see page 7) on a smooth, flat, hard surface.
REFUELING
• Turn the engine OFF and allow the engine to cool at least two (2) minutes before removing the fuel cap.
• The fuel cap is located at the rear of the scooter, behind the seat. To unlock the fuel cap, insert the ignition key and turn
to the left (counter-clockwise). Remove the cap to add fuel.
• Use UNLEADED 90 octane or higher gasoline without Methanol additives only. The tank holds 1.32 gallons (5 liters)
of fuel.
• DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Fill tank to about 1.5 inches below the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
• Wipe up spills immediately. Gasoline may damage paint and plastic parts. Do not start the engine until the spilled fuel
evaporates and the vapors have dissipated.
• NEVER add anything to the gasoline in the fuel tank.
• Replace the fuel cap securely.
THIS SCOOTER HAS A 4-STROKE ENGINE AND REQUIRES UNLEADED 90 OCTANE OR HIGHER GASOLINE, WITHOUT
METHANOL ADDITIVES.
WARNING
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS OR
DEATH.
• Keep gasoline away from open flames, sparks, pilot lights or other sources of ignition.
• NEVER smoke while refueling the scooter.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
• If fuel spills, DO NOT start engine until the spilled fuel has evaporated and vapors have dissipated.
• Make sure the fuel lines, tank and cap do not have cracks or leaks.
• NEVER start or operate the scooter near gasoline, paint thinner, or any other flammable liquids. Vapors could
ignite causing a fire or explosion.
• If you swallow gasoline, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If you inhale gasoline vapor and feel ill, or spill gasoline into
your eyes, see a physician immediately.
• If you spill gasoline on your skin or clothing, change clothing and wash your skin with soap and water.
TIRE MAINTENANCE
• To check the tire pressure, remove the cap from the valve stem and set aside. Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the air
pressure in the tires. The correct pressure for the front tire is 26 PSI, and for the rear tire is 29 PSI.
• Inspect the rims. If the rims are cracked or bent do not ride the scooter. They must be replaced.
• Check the tires for wear and damage. If you notice cuts, punctures or excessively worn tread, the tire needs to be
replaced. Contact your dealer for replacement parts and service.
WARNING
• DO NOT over-inflate the tire or underinflate the tires. The tires could slip off the wheel rims during braking,
causing the scooter to become unstable and turn over in a curve.
