CLEANING AND
STORAGE
EC1B1000CLEANING
Frequent cleaning of your machine
will enhance its appearance, main-
tain good overall performance, and
extend the life of many components.
1. Before washing the machine,
block off the end of the exhaust
pipe to prevent water from enter-
ing. A plastic bag secured with a
rubber band may be used for this
purpose.
2. If the engine is excessively
greasy, apply some degreaser to
it with a paint brush. Do not
apply degreaser to the chain,
sprockets, or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with a garden hose; use only
enough pressure to do the job.
CAUTION:
Excessive hose pressure may
cause water seepage and contami-
nation of wheel bearings, front
forks, brakes and transmission
seals. Many expensive repair bills
have resulted from improper high
pressure detergent applications
such as those available in coin-
operated car washers.
4. After the majority of the dirt has
been hosed off, wash all sur-
faces with warm water and a
mild detergent. Use an old tooth-
brush to clean hard-to-reach
places.
5. Rinse the machine off immedi-
ately with clean water, and dry
all surfaces with a soft towel or
cloth.
6. Immediately after washing,
remove excess water from the
chain with a paper towel and
lubricate the chain to prevent
rust.
7. Clean the seat with a vinyl uphol-
stery cleaner to keep the cover
pliable and glossy.
8. Automotive wax may be applied
to all painted or chromed sur-
faces. Avoid combination
cleaner-waxes, as they may con-
tain abrasives.
9. After completing the above, start
the engine and allow it to idle for
several minutes.
NETTOYAGE ET
RANGEMENT
NETTOYAGE
Un nettoyage fréquent de la machine
améliorera son aspect, maintiendra ses
bonnes performances et augmentera la
durée de service de bon nombre de ses
composants.
1. Avant de laver la moto, boucher la
sortie du pot d’échappement pour
éviter toute pénétration d’eau. Un
sachet en plastique retenu par un
élastique fera l’affaire.
2. Si le moteur est fortement encrassé,
appliquer un peu de dégraissant au
pinceau. Eviter tout contact avec la
chaîne, ses pignons et les axes de
roue.
3. Rincer la boue et le dégraissant au
tuyau d’arrosage, en utilisant juste
la pression suffisante.
ATTENTION:
Une pression excessive risque de pro-
voquer des infiltrations d’eau dans les
roulements des roues, la fourche
avant, des freins et les joints de la
transmission. Noter que bien des notes
de réparation onéreuses ont résulté de
l’emploi abusif des vaporisateurs de
détergent à haute pression, tels que
ceux qui équipent les laveries automa-
tiques de voitures.
4. Après avoir chassé la majeure partie
de la boue, laver toutes les surfaces
avec de l’eau chaude et un détergent
neutre. Utiliser une vieille brosse à
dents pour atteindre les endroits dif-
ficiles d’accès.
5. Rincer immédiatement l’engin avec
de l’eau propre et sécher toutes les
surfaces avec un chiffon doux.
6. Immédiatement après le lavage, éli-
miner l’excès d’eau de la chaîne
avec des mouchoirs en papier et
lubrifier la chaîne pour éviter
qu’elle ne rouille.
7. Nettoyer la selle avec un produit
pour meubles rembourrés pour que
sa housse reste souple et brillante.
8. Un encaustique pour automobile
peut être appliqué sur toutes les sur-
faces peintes et chromées. Eviter les
liquides de nettoyage à encaustique,
car ils contiennent de l’abrasif.
9. Les opérations ci-dessus terminées,
lancer le moteur et le laisser tourner
pendant quelques minutes.

EC1B2001STORAGE
If your machine is to be stored for 60
days or more, some preventive mea-
sures must be taken to avoid deterio-
ration. After cleaning the machine
thoroughly, prepare it for storage as
follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines,
and the carburetor float bowl.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour a
tablespoon of SAE 10W-30
motor oil in the spark plug hole,
and reinstall the plug. With the
engine stop switch pushed in,
kick the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder walls
with oil.
3. Remove the drive chain, clean it
thoroughly with solvent, and
lubricate it. Reinstall the chain or
store it in a plastic bag tied to the
frame.
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block the frame up to raise the
wheels off the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the
exhaust pipe outlet to prevent
moisture from entering.
7. If the machine is to be stored in a
humid or salt-air environment,
coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a film of light oil. Do not
apply oil to rubber parts or the
seat cover.
NOTE:Make any necessary repairs before
the machine is stored.RANGEMENT
Si l’on remise la machine pour 60 jours
ou plus, il faut prendre des mesures de
conservation pour éviter sa détérioration.
Après un nettoyage soigné, préparer la
machine de la manière suivante:
1. Vider le réservoir, les conduites
d’essence et la cuve du carburateur.
2. Déposer la bougie, verser une
cuillère à soupe d’huile moteur SAE
10W-30 dans le trou de bougie, et la
remettre en place. Coupe-circuit à la
position arrêt, donner plusieurs
coups de kick pour enduire le cylin-
dre d’huile.
3. Déposer la chaîne, la nettoyer soi-
gneusement au dissolvant et lubri-
fier. Remonter la chaîne ou la
ranger dans un sachet plastique
fermé fixé au cadre.
4. Lubrifier tous les câbles de com-
mande.
5. Mettre le cadre sur plots pour soule-
ver les roues du sol.
6. Fixer un sachet plastique sur la sor-
tie du pot d’échappement pour évi-
ter l’introduction d’humidité.
7. Si la machine est placée dans une
atmosphère humide ou marine,
enduire toutes les surfaces métalli-
ques nues d’une fine couche
d’huile. Ne pas appliquer d’huile
sur les parties en caoutchouc ou sur
la selle.
N.B.:
Avant de ranger la machine, effectuer
toutes les réparations nécessaires.
