CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. REMOVAL AND REFITTING OF COWLS :
The right hand side cowl is to be removed for
checking of oil level and spark plug. The left hand
side cowl is to be removed for taking out or refitting
the spare wheel.
The levers for opening the cowls are placed
under the seat. To remove the cowls:
1.1 Lift the seat as explained on page 21.
1.2 Turn the cowl opening levers outwards
(Fig. 34).
1.3 Hold the cowl with both hands and pull
out the front end of the cowl by about
2". Then push the front end upwards by
about 10" and rotate it outwards i.e.
towards its rear side (Fig. 35 & 36).
1.4 Pull out the cowl by disengaging its rear
end. (Fig. 37).
1.5 Refit the cowl, by following above
procedure in reverse.
ENGINE RUNNING-IN
Operation : The most important period in the life
of your scooter is its first 1000 kms. The engine
is brand new and different moving parts of the
engine need to be set to their correct operating
tolerances. This ensures a longer life for your
vehicle. It is therefore necessary to take some
precautions so as not to overload the engine.
1. Keep to the following speed limits
1st Gear : 0 to 10 kms/hr.
2nd Gear : 10 to 20 kms/hr.
3rd Gear : 20 to 35 kms/hr.
4th Gear : 35 kms/hr and above.
2. Avoid running the scooter on full accelerator
(throttle) for long periods. Vary the speed from
time to time.
3. Do not drive with half (partially engaged)
clutch. This will not only damage the clutch
but will also cause overheating of the
engine.
4. Allow a cooling off period of 5-10 minutes
after each hour of use.
5. Ensure oil level in engine to recommended
level, by checking the level with the help of
dipstick.

2.4 Tyre Rotation :
All the three wheels of your LML are
interchangeable with each other. However, the air
pressure in the tyre will depend on whether it is
fitted in the front or rear position. To ensure even
tyre tread wear, it is necessary to rotate the tyres
and change the face of the tyre (in relation to the
wheel rim) after every 6000 kms. Follow the
sequence for tyre rotation as explained in fig. 41.

4. BATTERY CHECKING
(For Auto start Model Only)
Battery requires regular and thorough
maintenance as advised below:
4.1.1 The level of electrolyte must always be
in between the upper and lower levels
marked on the battery. Normally a
constant level in the specified range is
maintained for about two months or
approximately 2000 kms (Fig. 46).

4.1.2 The level of electrolyte should be
checked once in a month. In case of a
normal decrease (0.5 cm) put in distilled
water only so as to reach the upper level

marked decrease (1 cm or more), please
get the battery checked at the nearest
service station.
