To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment, wrap wet articles in a
plastic bag before storing them
in the compartment.
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 anything valuable
or breakable in the storage
compartment.
WARNING
EWA16121
Do not exceed the following loading
limits:
Front storage compartment A: 1

Adjusting the shock absorber
assemblies
WARNING
EWA10211
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may re-
sult.
Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.
NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock ab-
sorber assembly in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring on each shock absorber as-
sembly in direction (b).
Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
Use the spring preload adjusting
tool included in the owner’s tool
kit to make this adjustment.
