Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor
1. Remove the carburetor drain bolt with a 10 mm wrench, and drain
the carburetor bowl fuel into an approved container.
B
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when
handling fuel.
•
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and
flame away.
•
Handle fuel only outdoors.
•
Wipe up spills immediately.
2. Turn the fuel valve ON (page 9).
This will allow fuel in the fuel tank
to drain through the carburetor
bowl. After the fuel is completely
drained, reinstall the drain bolt.
Engine Oil
Change the engine oil (page 34).
Engine Cylinder
Remove the spark plug (page 37). Pour a tablespoon (5 ~ 10 cc) of
clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope several times to
distribute the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall the spark plug. Pull the
starter rope slowly until resistance is felt then return the starter grip
gently. This closes the valves so moisture cannot enter.
Handlebar Folding
Remove the grass bag (if
installed). Loosen the handlebar
locking knobs. Press the each
side of the lower handlebar
outward to release the locating
pins, then swing the handlebar
forward. Don’t allow the cables to
be bent or pinched.
