STARTING AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF
INACTIVITY
After a long period of inactivity, if the starting
is not immediate, the fuel feeding circuit may
be partially empty.
DEPARTURE AND DRIVE
IMPORT ANT Before departure, carefully
read the “Safe drive” chapter, see page 5
(SAFE GUIDE).
CAUTION
If, while driving, the low fuel warning light
“
” (10), positioned on the dashboard
comes on, this means that the electric
reserve is operating and there are still 4
litres of fuel available. Refuel as soon as
possible, see page 25 (FUEL).
WARNING
If you drive without passenger, make sure
that the passenger footrests are folded.
While driving, keep your hands on the
grips and your feet on the footrests.
NEVER DRIVE IN ANY POSITION DIFFERENT FROM THOSE INDICATED.
If you drive with a passenger, instruct him/
her so as to avoid problems during the
manoeuvres.
Before leaving, make sure that the stand/
stands is/are completely up.

To leave:
♦ Release the accelerator grip (9) (Pos. A),
operate the rear brake and move the vehicle down the stand.
♦ Get on the vehicle and keep one foot at
least on the ground so as to avoid losing
balance.
♦ Correctly adjust the inclination of the rear-
view mirrors.
WARNING
With the vehicle at rest, try to get acquainted with the use of the rear-view
mirrors. The reflecting surface is convex,
therefore the objects seem to be farther
than they really are. These mirrors offer
a “wide-angle” view and only experience
allows you to evaluate the distance of the
following vehicles.
use and maintenance Atlantic 500
36
♦ Release the brake lever and accelerate,
by turning the accelerator grip slightly; the
vehicle will start moving.
CAUTION
Do not leave abruptly with cold engine.
To reduce the emission of polluting substances and the fuel consumption, it is
advisable to warm the engine up by driving at slow speed for the first kilometres.
Do not accelerate or decelerate repeat-
WARNING
edly or continuously since you could accidentally lose control of the vehicle.
In case of braking, decelerate and operate both brakes in order to obtain uniform
deceleration, suitably exerting pressure
on the braking parts.
By operating only the front brake or only
the rear brake, you reduce the braking
force notably, thus locking one wheel and
consequently losing grip.
If you stop uphill, decelerate completely
and use only the brakes to keep the vehicle steady.
The use of the engine to keep the vehicle
steady may cause the speed variator
overheating.
WARNING
Before beginning to turn, slow down or
brake driving at moderate and constant
speed or accelerating slightly; do not
brake at the last moment: you could easily skid.
If the brakes are operated continuously
on downhill stretches, the friction material may overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency. Exploit the engine compression by using both brakes intermittently.
Never drive downhill with the engine off.
In case of wet road or scarce wheel grip
(snow, ice, mud, etc.)drive at moderate
speed, avoiding abrupt braking or manoeuvres that could cause grip loss and
fall.
Pay attention to any obstacle or variation
of the roadbed.
Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications painted on the road surface,
building site metal plates become slippery with rain, therefore it is necessary
to avoid all these obstacles with the utmost care, driving slowly and bending the
vehicle as little as possible.
use and maintenance Atlantic 500

WARNING
Always use the direction indicators in
time when you change lane or direction,
avoiding abrupt and dangerous manoeuvres.
Switch off the direction indicators immediately after changing direction. Be very
careful overtaking other vehicles or when
you are overtaken. In case of rain, the
water cloud produced by big vehicles reduces visibility; air shift may make you
lose control of the vehicle.
RUNNING-IN
WARNING
After the first 1000 km (625 miles), carry
on the checks indicated in the “after running-in” column of the “REGULAR SERVICE INTERVAL CHART”, see pages 41-42,
in order to avoid personal injuries and/or
damages to the vehicle.
use and maintenance Atlantic 500
38
The engine running-in is very important in
order to ensure its working life and its correct functioning.
If possible, drive on roads with many hills and/
or bends, so that the engine, the suspensions
and the brakes undergo to a more effective
running-in.
IMPORTANT Only after the first 1000
running-in kilometres (625 miles) it is possible to obtain the best acceleration and speed
performance from the vehicle.
Keep to the following indications:
♦Do not rotate the accelerator grip com-
pletely at low speed, both during and after
the running-in.
♦0-100 km (0-62 mi)
During the first 100 km (62 miles) use the
brakes smoothly and avoid abrupt and long
braking. This is necessary to ensure a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake
disk.
♦0-500 km (0-312 mi)
During the first 500 kilometres (312 miles)
do not exceed 80% of the maximum allowed speed.
♦Avoid keeping a constant speed for long
distances.
♦After the first 1000 km (625 miles) progres-
sively increase the speed until you reach
the highest performance levels.
STOP
WARNING
If possible, avoid stopping abruptly, slowing down suddenly and braking at the last
moment.
♦ Release the accelerator grip (pos. A) and
gradually operate the brakes to stop the
vehicle.
♦ During a short stop, keep at least one brake
on.
WARNING
Park the vehicle on a firm and flat ground
to avoid its fall. Do not lean the vehicle
