safe riding

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 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.
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: wheelies, speeding, etc.), and adjust your riding style to road surface conditions, visibility, etc.
Your riding is also affected by your physical and mental condition - do not ride if you are feeling ill, upset, tired or sleepy.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 50 2T - Scarabeo 50 4T - Scarabeo 100 4T
6
Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control of the vehicle.
Avoid riding in the slipstream of vehicles ahead in order to increase your speed.
WARNING
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboard (or on the rider's footrests), in the correct driving posture.
Do not stand up or stretch your limbs while riding.
ONLY ORIGINALS
Do not allow yourself to become distracted by other persons or by smoking, eating, drinking, reading etc. when riding.
Use only the specified fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART" and check oil, fuel and coolant levels at regular intervals.
If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, check the control levers, pipes and hoses, wires, the braking system and key components for damage.
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, direction indicators, lights and horns.
Any modification made to the vehicle will invalidate the warranty.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 50 2T - Scarabeo 50 4T - Scarabeo 100 4T
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.

ACCESSORIES

The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory.
Any accessories installed must not cover the horns or lights or impair their operation, restrict suspension travel and steering angle, impair the operation of any vehicle controls or affect ground clearance or bank angle in a bend.
Avoid using accessories that may hamper access to vehicle controls, as this can slow down your reaction in an emergency.
Large fairings and windshields may affect the vehicle's aerodynamics and make it unstable, especially at high speeds.
Make sure any accessories installed are fastened securely to the vehicle and will not affect safety during riding.
Do not install or modify any electric devices in such a manner as to exceed vehicle capacity, as this may lead to a power shortage or failure causing the engine to stop suddenly or rendering the horn and lights inoperative. aprilia recommends the use of genuine accessories (aprilia genuine accessories).

LOAD

Be careful not to overload the vehicle with exceeding luggage. Place your luggage as close as possible to the centre of gravity of the vehicle and make sure its weight is evenly distributed across both sides of the vehicle to keep it stable. Make sure that the luggage is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially before long trips.
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 secure bulky bags to the vehicle sides, as they could hit people or obstacles when riding, resulting in loss of control.
Do not carry any luggage unless firmly secured to the vehicle.
Do not carry any bags which protrude too much over luggage rack or cover the lights, horn or indicators.
Do not carry pets or children sitting on the glove compartment or on the luggage rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of each luggage rack.
The overloaded vehicle will become unstable and handle poorly.

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 case some fuel has accidentally been spilled, make sure that the area has completely dried and before starting the vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside the fuel filler neck.
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.

u The level is correct if it matches with the
dipstick reference mark corresponding to maximum level.
u If necessary, provide for topping up.
WARNING
Low oil level can damage the engine.
In all 4-stroke engines, the loss of the oil features and oil consumption can be considered a normal condition.
Consumption especially depends on use conditions (e.g. oil consumption increases when always riding "full throttle").
According to the total quantity of engine oil and average consumption measured through standard procedures, it is possible to determine the scheduled change interval.
CAUTION
In order to prevent any trouble, it is recommended to check oil level each time the vehicle is used.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check engine oil level every 2000 km (1250 mi).
u Place the vehicle on the centre stand,
see page 38 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE ON CENTRE STAND).
CAUTION
Always check engine oil level with cold engine each time you are going to drive the veichle.
u Unscrew and extract the plug/dipstick
(1).
u Clean the part in contact with the oil with
a clean cloth.
u Tighten the plug/dipstick (1) completely,
screwing it into the filling hole (2).
u Withdraw the plug/dipstick (1) again and
read the oil level on the dipstick itself.
MAX level reference corresponds to about 850cc of engine oil.
If oil check is performed after having driven the vehicle, i.e. with warm engine, the level will be lower; for a correct reading, you should allow at least 10 minutes after having stopped the engine.

TOPPING UP ENGINE OIL

Top up engine oil level every 2000 km (1250 mi).
CAUTION
Any top-ups should be made after having checked oil level and MAX. level shall never be exceeded.
Have the engine oil checked and topped up every 2000 km (1250 mi) by an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL

DO NOT DISPOSE OF OIL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
Carefully read page 40 (MAINTENANCE).
u Ride for a few kilometres until engine
reaches the operating temperature, then stop the engine.
u Position the vehicle on the centre stand. u Unscrew and extract the plug/dipstick
(1).
u Clean the part in contact with the oil with
a clean cloth.
u Tighten the plug/dipstick (1) completely,
screwing it into the filling hole (2).
u Withdraw the plug/dipstick again and
read the oil level on the dipstick itself:
u The level is correct if the oil reaches
approx. the dot mark on the dipstick.
u If necessary, provide for topping up.
CAUTION
Tighten filler plugs (1) and drain plugs (3) properly; make sure that any oil is not coming out. Periodically check for leaks at the casing cover gasket.
