guida sicura

BASIC SAFETY RULES

To drive the vehicle, you must satisfy certain legal requirements (driving licence, minimum age limit, psychophysical fitness, insurance, vehicle licence tax, vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).
Begin to familiarise yourself with the vehicle by riding in low traffic areas and/or private ground.
Certain prescribed medicines, alcohol, drugs and psychotropic substances will affect your riding, thereby increasing the risk of an accident.
Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness.
use and maintenance Quasar 50 - 100 - 125 - 180
6
Most road accidents are caused by inexperienced riders. NEVER lend your vehicle to a beginner and make sure any person borrowing your vehicle fills the legal requirements for driving.
Strictly observe all posted signs and national and local road regulations.
Avoid any sudden or risky manoeuvres that may endanger your and other people's safety (for example: reckless manoeuvres, speeding, etc.), and adjust your riding style to road surface conditions, visibility, etc.
Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Always hold the handlebars with both hands and keep both feet on the footpegs (or on the rider's footboards), in the correct riding position.
Do not stand up or stretch your limbs while riding.
ONLY ORIGINALS
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 specified fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART" (page58) and check engine oil, transmission fluid and fuel levels at regular intervals.
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 Authorised Dealer who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all the devices that you cannot check by yourself.
Remember to report any malfunction to the technicians and/or mechanics to facilitate their work.
Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suffered makes it unsafe to ride.
Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, turn indicators, lights and horns.
Any modification of the vehicle will result in the invalidity of the warranty.
Making any modifications to the vehicle and/or removing the original components can adversely affect vehicle performance and safety or make it illegal to ride.
Observe applicable law and all national and local regulations concerning vehicle equipment.
In particular, avoid any modifications apt to enhance performance or alter the vehicle's original specifications.
Never race with other vehicles.

CLOTHING

Always wear and fasten your helmet correctly before moving off. Make sure your helmet complies with applicable regulations, is not damaged, is the right size and keep the visor clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably bright and/or reflective clothing. This will ensure you are easily seen by other road users and reduce the risk of an accident, besides affording improved protection in the event of a fall.
Wear tight-fitting clothing fastened at the wrists and ankles; make sure no strings, belts and ties are hanging loose; make sure no items of clothing or other objects can distract you or become entangled with moving parts or with the handlebars.
use and maintenance Quasar 50 - 100 - 125 - 180
8
Do not ride with sharp or pointed objects in your pockets as they might cause injury in the event of a fall (this includes keys, pens, glass vials, etc. - note that the same applies to your passenger).
Avoid fixing bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects to the handlebars, mudguards and forks - this could slow down the vehicle's response in turns and would inevitably affect handling.
Do not place bags that are too bulky or the crash helmet on the vehicle sides and do not ride with them on, because they could hit people or obstacles, making you lose control of the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of each luggage rack.
When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.
Never use the vehicle in water deeper than 10 cm.
After having used the vehicle in salt water, it is necessary to wash it with fresh water.
Never show off without respecting the safety features.
Never unbalance the weight of your body so to avoid that vehicle takes unusual positions.
The vehicle should always be ridden following the safety rules indicated in this manual, at any time (riding uphill, downhill, turning, etc.) and with any surface conditions.

MAIN COMPONENTS

FUEL

WARNING
The fuel used in internal combustion engines is highly flammable and can become explosive under particular conditions. It is important to refuel and service the vehicle in a well-ventilated area, with the engine off. Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel vapours, in any case avoid contact with naked flames, sparks and any other heat source or source of ignition to prevent fires or explosion. Avoid spilling fuel, as it may ignite when in contact with hot engine parts. In the event of accidental spillage, make sure that the area has completely dried before starting the engine. Never fill the tank to the rim, as fuel expands from heat and when left under direct sunlight. Tighten the filler plug securely after refuelling. Avoid contact with skin, do not inhale fuel vapours; do not swallow fuel or transfer it between different receptacles using a hose.
DO NOT RELEASE FUEL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only premium-grade unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 95 (RON) and 85 (MON).
To refuel, proceed as follows:
◆ Unscrew and remove the tank plug (1).
FUEL TANK CAPACITY (reserve included):

50 100
8 5 l
125 180
FUEL RESERVE:

CAUTION
Do not add any additives or other substances to the fuel. If you use a funnel or other tools, make sure that they are perfectly clean.
1
WARNING
Do not fill the tank up to the rim. Fuel level must always remain below the lower edge of the filler neck.
◆ Refuel.
After refuelling:
◆ Fully screw the filler plug (1).
WARNING
Make sure the plug is firmly closed.
