12) Parking your scooter
Find a safe place to park your scooter. If it is
raining or likely to rain or snow try to park your
scooter under cover to avoid prolonged exposure
to wet or cold conditions.
Try to avoid parking your scooter behind parallel
parked cars. Sometimes cars will reverse to get
out of their park and may not see the scooter,
and knock it over.
Be careful parking your
scooter on soft/sandy
ground as the stand can
sink into the ground over
time causing your scooter
to fall over.
To put the scooter on to the centre stand:
1) Hold the left handlebar with your left
hand
2) Kick the centre stand down to the
ground and hold it in place with your
right foot.
3) Gripping the rear rack bar firmly with
your right hand lift the scooter upwards
and backwards until the centre stand is
down and locked into place.
NOTE:
Be aware that the exhaust pipe gets very hot
during operation. Take care to avoid touching it.
Take particular care if parking your scooter on dry
grass after running. The heat from the exhaust
pipe and motor could cause a fire.
