Spray some penetrating oil containing molybdenum disulphide into the cylinder
via the spark plug hole. Pull the starter cord until the piston reaches its highest
position. Refit the spark plug.
• Touch up areas where the paint has been damaged or treat with a lubricant in
order to prevent corrosion. Original paint in the same colour can be obtained
from the ELIET dealer.
• Store the machine in a dry place, protected from rain, and, if necessary, cover with
tarpaulin.
Always allow the engine to cool down before storage.

If the machine is to be stored outside, it must be well protected with tarpaulin.
