TRANSPORT
WARNING
Before transporting the vehicle, it is necessary to empty the fuel tank and the carburettor completely, see page 83 (DRAINING THE FUEL TANK), making sure that
both are completely dry.
During transport, the vehicle must be kept
in vertical position and be firmly anchored
in order to avoid leaks of fuel, oil and coolant.
In case of failure, do not tow the vehicle,
but ask for assistance.
DRAINING THE FUEL TANK
Carefully read page 25 (FUEL)
WARNING
Danger of fire.
Wait until the exhaust silencer and the
engine have completely cooled down.
Fuel vapours are noxious for your health.
Before proceeding, make sure that the
room in which you are working is suitably ventilated.
Do not inhale fuel vapours.
Neither smoke nor use naked flames.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FUEL IN THE
ENVIRONMENT.
♦ Position the vehicle on the central stand
on firm and flat ground.
♦ Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled
down.
♦ T ake a container with capacity exceeding
the fuel quantity in the tank and place it
on the ground on the left side of the vehicle.
♦ Remove the filler cap.
♦ T o drain the fuel tank, use a manual pump
or a similar system. Do not damage the
pump group (fuel level sensor in the tank).
WARNING
After draining the tank, put back the filler
cap.

CLEANING
Clean the vehicle frequently if you use it in
particular areas or conditions, such as:
♦ Pollution (cities and industrial areas).
♦ Salinity and humidity in the atmosphere
(sea areas, hot and humid climates).
♦ Particular environmental/seasonal condi-
tions (use of salt and anti-ice chemical
products on roads in winter).
♦ Avoid leaving deposits of industrial and
polluting powders, tar spots, dead insects,
bird droppings, etc on the body of the vehicle.
♦ Avoid parking the vehicle under trees, since
in some seasons residues, resins, fruits or
leaves fall down, which contain chemical
substances that may damage the paint.
use and maintenance Atlantic 500
68
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, the
braking functions could be temporarily
impaired because of the presence of water on the grip surfaces. Calculate long
braking distances to avoid accidents.
Brake repeatedly to restore normal conditions.
Carry on the preliminary check operations, see page 33 (TABLE OF PRELIMINARY CHECKS).
To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces use a low-pressure water jet, carefully wet the dirty parts, remove mud and filth
with a soft car sponge impregnated with a
lot of water and shampoo (2÷4 % parts of
shampoo in water).
Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with
chamois leather.
To clean the outer parts of the engine use
degreasers, brushes and wipers.
CAUTION
Wehicle washing warning:
- Remove all the objects from the front
and underseat compartments.
- Remove the moquette pad from the
underseat.
- Make sure of the compartments right
closure.
CAUTION
Polish with silicone wax only after having carefully washed the vehicle.
Do not polish matt paints with polishing
pastes.
Do not wash the vehicle under the sun,
especially during the summer, when the
body is still warm, since if the shampoo
dries before being rinsed away, it can
damage the paint.
Do not use liquids at a temperature higher
than 40° C to clean the plastic components of the vehicle.
Do not use high pressure water/air jets
or vapour jets on the following parts:
wheel hubs, controls on the right and left
side of the handlebar, bearings, brake
pumps, instruments and indicators, silencer exhaust, crash helmet/tool kit compartment, ignition switch/steering lock.
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to
clean the rubber and plastic parts and the
saddle: use water and mild soap only.
WARNING
Do not apply protection waxes on the saddle to avoid making it too slippery.

LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
Some precautions are necessary to avoid
any problem after a long period of inactivity
of the vehicle.
Furthermore, it is important to carry on the
necessary repairs and a general check before the period of inactivity, since you could
forget to carry them on later.
Proceed as follows:
♦ Empty the fuel tank and the carburettor
completely, see page 65 (DRAINING THE
FUEL TANK).
♦ Remove the spark plug, see page 56
(SPARK PLUG).
♦ Pour a teaspoon of engine oil (5-10 cm
into the cylinder.
IMPORTANT Put a clean cloth on the
cylinder, near the spark plug seat, in order
to protect it from oil sprays.
♦ Move the ignition switch to position “ ”
and press the engine start push-button “
for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly
on the cylinder surfaces.
♦ Remove the cloth.
♦ Put back the spark plug.
♦ Remove the battery, see page 58 (REMOV -
ING THE BATTER Y) and page 57 (LONG
INACTIVITY OF THE BATTERY).
♦ Wash and dry the vehicle, see page 68
(CLEANING).
♦ Polish the painted surfaces with wax.
♦ Inflate the tyres, see page 70 (TECHNI-
CAL DATA).
♦ By means of a suitable support, position
the vehicle so that both tyres are raised
3
)
from the ground.
♦ Place the vehicle in an unheated, not-hu-
mid room, away from sunlight, with minimum temperature variations.
♦ Position and tie a plastic bag on the final
pipe of the exhaust silencer, in order to pre-
”
vent moisture from entering it.
♦ Cover the vehicle avoiding the use of plas-
tic or waterproof materials.
AFTER A PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
♦ Uncover and clean the vehicle, see page
68 (CLEANING).
♦ Check the battery charge, see page 59
(RECHARGING THE BATTERY) and install it, see page 59 (INSTALLING THE
BATTERY).
♦ Refuel, see page 25 (FUEL).
♦
Carry on the preliminary checks, see page
33 (TABLE OF PRELIMINARY CHECKS).
WARNING
Have a test ride at moderate speed in a
low-traffic area.
