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, power
unit failure, electric leakage, or
short-circuiting.
To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Charge the battery if the level
drops to the last segment. In or-
