Storage

Short-term
Always store your scooter in a cool,
dry place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.
NOTICE
_
●
Storing the scooter in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.
● To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.

Long-term
Before storing your scooter for several
months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
"Care" section of this chapter.
