VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle should remain inactive for months it is advisable to take some precautions:
– Empty the tank completely.

The battery must be kept in a dry place and at a temperature between 5-35 °C (41-95 °F). Keep the battery out of
reach of children.
– Position the vehicle with the tires raised off the ground using the appropriate supports and periodically check the tire
pressure.
– Lubricate the chain.
– Cover the exhaust terminal with a well-tied bag to prevent moisture from entering inside.
– Cover the vehicle with an appropriate sheet (in breathable material) of a size sufficient to fully cover the vehicle.
– The vehicle must be placed in an unheated place with minimal temperature variations, free from humidity and protected
from sunlight.
After the period of inactivity
– Uncover and wash the vehicle.
