To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in
possession of all the requirements prescribed by law (driving licence, minimum
age, psychophysical ability, insurance,
state taxes, vehicle registration, number
plate, etc.).
Gradually get to know the vehicle by driving it first in areas with low traffic and/or private areas.
use and maintenance Gulliver 50

The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or
psychotropic substances notably increases
the risk of accidents.
Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit for driving and pay
particular attention to physical weariness
and drowsiness.
Most road accidents are caused by the
driver’s lack of experience.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and,
in any case, make sure that the driver has
all the requirements for driving.
Page 7
Rigorously observe all road signs and national and local road regulations.
Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself and other people (for
example: rearing up on the back wheel,
speeding, etc.), and give due consideration
to the road surface, visibility and other driving conditions.
Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control.
Avoid riding in the slipstream created by
preceding vehicles in order to increase
your speed.
Always drive with both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests, in
the correct driving posture.
Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs
while driving.

The driver should pay attention and avoid
distractions caused by people, things and
movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read,
etc.) while driving.

Use only the vehicle’s specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the "Lubricant Chart";
check all oil, fuel and coolant levels regularly.
If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, make sure that no damage has occurred to the control levers, pipes, wires,
braking system and vital parts.
If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by
an aprilia Official Dealer, who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all the devices that
you cannot check by yourself.
Always remember to report any malfunction to the technicians to help them in their
work.
Never use the vehicle when the amount of
damage it has suffered endangers your
safety.

ONLY ORIGINALS
Never change the position, the inclination
or the colour of: number plate, direction indicators, lights and horns.
Any modification of the engine or of other
members which is aimed at increasing the
speed or the power of the vehicle is prohibited by the law; in fact, any modification resulting in an increase of the maximum
speed or of the engine displacement would
change the scooter into a motorcycle,
which implies the following obligations for
the owner:
– new homologation;
– new registration;
– appropriate driving license.
Further, said modifications cause the loss
of the insurance cover, since insurance
policies expressly prohibit to make technical changes aimed at increasing the vehicle performance levels.
For the reasons stated above, the failure to
comply with the tampering prohibition is
punished by law with apposite sanctions
(including the confiscation of the vehicle),
which, according to the case, can be combined with the sanctions provided for not
using the crash helmet and/or the number
plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations
(ownership tax) and with penal sanctions
provided for using the vehicle without driving license.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.
#,/4().'
Before starting, always wear a correctly
fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is
homologated, in good shape, of the right
size and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light
and/or reflecting colours. In this way you
will make yourself more visible to the other
drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of
being knocked down, and you will be more
protected in case of fall. This clothing
should be very tight-fitting and fastened at
the wrists and ankles. Strings, belts and
ties should not be hanging loose; prevent
these and other objects from interfering
with driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving mechanisms.

Do not keep objects that can be dangerous
in case of fall, for example pointed objects
like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your
pockets (the same recommendations also
apply to passengers).

The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any accessory.
Avoid installing accessories that cover
horns or lights or that could impair their
functions, limit the suspension stroke and
the steering angle, hamper the operation of
the controls and reduce the distance from
the ground and the angle of inclination in
turns. Avoid using accessories that hamper
access to the controls, since this can prolong reaction times during an emergency.
Large fairings and windscreens assembled
on the vehicle can produce aerodynamic
forces capable of compromising the stability of the vehicle while driving.
Make sure that the equipment is well fastened to the vehicle and not dangerous
during driving.
Do not install electrical devices and do not
modify those already existing to avoid electrical overloads, because the vehicle could
suddenly stop or there could be a dangerous current shortage in the horn and in the
lights. aprilia recommends the use of
aprilia genuine accessories.
,/!$
Be careful and moderate when loading
your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as
close as possible to the centre of the vehicle and distribute the load uniformly on
both sides, in order to reduce imbalance to
the minimum.
Furthermore, make sure that the load is
firmly secured to the vehicle, especially
during long trips.
Page 11
KG!
Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards
and forks, because the vehicle might respond more slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability could be unavoidably impaired.
Do not place bags that are too bulky on the
vehicle sides and do not ride with the crash
helmet hanging from its string, because it
could hit people or obstacles making you
lose control of the vehicle.
Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly secured to the vehicle.
Do not carry bags which protrude too much
from the luggage-rack or which cover the
lights, horn or indicators.
Do not carry animals or children on the
glove compartment or on the luggage-rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load allowed
for each side-bag.
When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability
and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.

The fuel used for internal combustion engines is extremely inflammable and in particular con-
ditions it can become explosive.
It is important to carry out the refuelling
and the maintenance operations in a
well-ventilated area, with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near
fuel vapours, in any case avoid any contact with free flames, sparks and any
other heat source to prevent the fuel
from catching fire or from exploding.
Further, prevent fuel from flowing out of
the fuel filler, as it could catch fire when
getting in contact with the red-hot surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area has completely dried and before starting the vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside
the fuel filler neck.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of sun radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the cap up carefully after refuelling.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with the

This vehicle is provided with tubeless
tyres.
Periodically check the tyre infla-
tion pressure at room tempera-
ture. If the tyres are hot, the
measurement is not correct.
Carry out the measurement especially
after long rides.
If the inflation pressure is too high, the
ground unevenness cannot be dampened and is therefore transmitted to the
handlebar, thus compromising the driving comfort and reducing the road holding during turns.
If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure
is too low, the tyre sides are under
greater stress and the tyre itself may
slip on the rim or it may become loose,
with consequent loss of control of the
vehicle.
In case of sudden braking the tyres
could even get out of the rims. Further,
the vehicle could skid while turning.
Check the surface and the wear of the
tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can
impair both the grip and the controllability of the vehicle.
Change the tyre when it is worn out or
in case of puncture on the tread side, if
the puncture is larger than 5 mm.
After repairing a tyre, have the wheels
balanced.
Use only tyres in the size suggested by
aprilia, see p. 64 (TECHNICAL DATA).
Do not install tyres with air tube on rims
for tubeless tyres, and viceversa.
Make sure that the tyres always have
their valve sealing caps, to prevent
them from suddenly going flat.
Change, reparation, maintenance and
balancing operations are very important
and should be carried out by qualified
technicians with appropriate tools.
For this reason, it is advisable to have
the above mentioned operations carried
out by an APRILIA Official Dealer or by a

Check the coolant level every 2000 km and
after long rides; change it every 2 years.
1
Do not use the vehicle if the
coolant is below the minimum
prescribed level.
Have the coolant changed by an
APRILIA Official Dealer.
Remember:
1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
The coolant is made up of 50% water and
50% antifreeze.
This mixture is ideal for most running temperatures and ensures good protection
against corrosion.
It is advisable to keep the same mixture
also in the hot season, since in this way
losses due to evaporation are reduced and
it is not necessary to top up very frequently.
The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator
by evaporated water are thus reduced and
the efficiency of the cooling system remains unchanged.
If the outdoor temperature is below 0°,

necessary increase the antifreeze concentration (up to maximum 60%).

Avoid parking the vehicle in the
catalytic version near dry brush
wood or in places easily accessible to children, as the catalytic silencer
becomes extremely hot during use; be
very careful and avoid any kind of contact before it has completely cooled
down.
2
The catalytic Gulliver 50 is fitted with a silencer with metal catalytic converter of the
"platinum-rhodium bivalent" type.
This device provides for the oxidation of
the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC
(unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the
exhaust gases, changing them into carbon
dioxide and steam, respectively.
Due to the catalytic reaction, the high temperature reached by the exhaust gases
makes for the burning of the oil particles,
thus keeping the silencer clean and eliminating the exhaust fumes.
To have the catalytic converter function
correctly and for long and to reduce possible problems regarding the soiling of the
thermal unit and of the exhaust, it is necessary to avoid covering long distances with
the engine running at constantly low rpm.
It is sufficient to alternate these periods
with periods in which the engine runs at relatively high rpm, even if only for a few seconds, but rather frequently.
What has been stated above assumes particular importance for the cold starting of
the engine: in this case, in order to reach a
rpm regime sufficient to enable the "priming" of the catalytic reaction, just make
sure that the temperature of the thermal
unit has reached at least 50° C, which generally occurs a few seconds after starting
the engine.
Do not use leaded petrol, since it

Avoid parking the vehicle under trees,
since in some seasons residues, resins,
fruits or leaves fall down, which contain
substances that may damage the paint.
After the vehicle has been

because of the presence of water on the
grip surfaces. Calculate long braking
distances to avoid accidents. Brake repeatedly to restore normal conditions.
Carry out the preliminary checking operations, see p. 31 (PRELIMINARY
CHECKING OPERATIONS).
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
a degreaser, brushes and wipers.
washed, its braking functions
could be temporarily impaired
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 water (or liquids) at a temperature exceeding 40°C to clean the
plastic components of the vehicle.
Use neither high pressure water/air jets,
nor vapour jets on the following parts:
wheel hubs, controls on the right and
on the left side of the handlebar, bearings, brake pumps, instruments and indicators, silencer exhaust, glove/tool kit
compartment, ignition switch/steering
lock.
Do not use alcohol or solvents to clean
the rubber and plastic parts and the
saddle: use water and mild soap.
Do not apply protection waxes onto the
saddle, in order not to make it too slippery.
Polish with silicone wax only after having carefully washed the
vehicle. Do not wash the vehicle

After a long period of inactivity of the vehicle some precautions are necessary to
avoid any problem.
Further, it is important to carry out the necessary repairs and a general check up before a period of inactivity, since you could
forget to carry them out later.
Proceed as follows:
◆
Empty the fuel tank and the carburettor,
see p. 61 (DRAINING THE FUEL
TANK).
Put back the tank plug.
◆
Extract the spark plug and pour a teaspoon (5-10 cm#) of two-stroke engine oil
into the cylinder.
Move the ignition switch to position "
press the start push button "
r" for a few
seconds, to distribute the oil evenly on
the cylinder surfaces.
Put back the spark plug.
◆
Remove the battery, see p. 52 (BATTERY).
◆
Wash and dry the vehicle, see p. 62
(CLEANING).
◆
Polish the painted surfaces with wax.
◆
Inflate the tyres, see p. 27 (TYRES).
◆
By means of a suitable support, position
the vehicle so that both tyres are raised
from the ground, .
◆
Place the vehicle in an unheated, not-humid room, away from sunlight, with minimum temperature variations.
◆
Cover the vehicle avoiding the use of
plastic or waterproof materials.
