rear storage compartment, place the
helmet upside down with the front fac-
ing the left side. NOTICE: Keep the
following points in mind when using
the storage compartment. Since the storage compartment accumulates
heat when exposed to the sun and/
or the engine heat, do not store any-
thing susceptible to heat, consum-
ables or flammable items inside it.
To avoid humidity from spreading
through the storage compartment,
wrap wet articles in a plastic bag be-
fore storing them in the compart-
ment. Since the storage
compartment may get wet while the
scooter is being washed, wrap any
articles stored in the compartment
in a plastic bag. Do not keep any-
thing valuable or breakable in the
storage compartment. Do not leave
the seat open for an extended period
of time, otherwise the light may
cause the battery to discharge.
