CLEANING

Keep your scooter clean so it will look good and perform well. Before washing, remove the contents of the storage compartment.

WARNING

DO NOT allow water to come in contact with the ignition, battery, fuse compartment or other electrical parts.

DO NOT use high-pressure washers, as they can cause damage to the scooter’s body, mechanical and electrical parts.

Hand wash with mild soap and water using a soft rag or mitt. DO NOT use a brush that could scratch the finish. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water. DO NOT allow water to come in contact with any electrical components. Dry with a chamois or soft, absorbent cloth.
