Lexmoto Echo - Owner's Manual > Servicing the scooter / cleaning agents

NOTE

Regular, expert service will help maintain the value of your scooter and is a condition for guarantee claims for corrosion and other such damage.

CAUTION

Rubber and plastic parts will be damaged by caustic or penetrating cleaning agents or solvents.

WARNING

Always carry out a brake test after cleaning and before starting a ride!

CAUTION

Do not use steam or high-pressure jet devices! Such devices can damage seals, the hydraulic braking system and the electrical system.

CLEANING

• To wash the motorcycle, use a soft sponge and clean water.
• Afterwards, dry off with a polishing cloth or chamois.
• Do not wipe off dust or dirt with a dry cloth, to avoid scratching the paint or covering.

Servicing the scooter / cleaning agents

PRESERVATION AGENTS

When necessary, the scooter must be preserved with commercially available preserving and cleaning agents.

• By way of precaution (especially in winter), regularly treat parts liable to corrosion with preservation agents.

CAUTION

Never use paint-polishing agents on plastic parts.

• After a longish ride, thoroughly clean the chassis and the aluminium parts and preserve them with a commercially available anti-corrosion agent.

Operation in winter and anti-corrosion protection

NOTE

Protect the environment by suing only environmentally friendly preservation agents, and use them frugally.

Use of the motorcycle in the winter can cause considerable damage due to the presence of salt on the roads.

CAUTION

Do not use hot water, which would increase the effect of the salt.

• At the end of each ride, wash the motorcycle with cold water.
• Thoroughly dry the motorcycle.
• Treat parts liable to corrosion with waxborne anti-corrosion agents.

Repairing paint damage

Minor paint damage should be immediately repaired.

Servicing tyres

If the scooter is not used for a longer period, it is recommended to support the scooter so that its weight is not on the tyres.

You can prevent the tyres from becoming dry and brittle by spraying them with a siliconerubber treatment. First thoroughly clean the tyres.

Do not store the scooter or the tyres in hot spaces (such as a boiler room) for longer periods.

WARNING

A minimum tyre-profile depth of 2.0 mm must be maintained at all times.
