LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY

Precautions are needed to avoid the adverse

essary repairs and a general check up be-
fore the period of inactivity, since you could
forget to carry them out later.

see page 83 (DRAINING THE FUEL
TANK).
♦
Remove the spark plug, see page 71
(SPARK PLUG) and pour one teaspoon (5-
3
10 cm ) of oil for two-stroke engines in the
cylinder.
NOTE
Put a clean cloth on the cylinder,
next to the spark plug seat, as a protection
against oil splashes.
♦
Turn the ignition switch to "
the engine start button "
onds to distribute the oil evenly on the cyl-
inder surfaces.
♦
Remove the cloth.
♦
Refit the spark plug.
♦
Remove the battery, see page 74 (REMOV-
ING THE BATTERY).
