GENERAL SAFETY RULES
CARBON MONOXIDE
If it is necessary to let the engine run in order to perform work, make sure that the area in which you are operating is properly ventilated. Never run the engine in enclosed spaces.
If it is necessary to work indoors, use an exhaust evacuation system.
The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause loss of consciousness and even death.
GASOLINE
Keep gasoline away from children. Gasoline is also poisonous. Never attempt to siphon gasoline using your mouth. Never allow gasoline to come in contact with your skin. If you should accidentally spill gasoline on yourself, change your clothes immediately and wash the area w h e r e t h e g a s o l i n e w a s s p l a s h e d thoroughly with soap and warm water. Should you accidentally swallow gasoline, do not induce vomiting.
Drink large quantities of clear water or milk and immediately seek professional medical assistance. Should you accidentally get gasoline into your eyes, flush with large quantities of cool, clear water and immediately seek professional medical assistance.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and b e c o m e s e x p l o s i v e u n d e r c e r t a i n conditions. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Misfire phenomena may occur at more than 1000 meters above sea level.
Do not use at more than 1500 meters above sea level and/or with external temperature lower than -10 °C because starting problems may occur.
HOT COMPONENTS
The engine and all parts of the exhaust system, as well as the braking system, become very hot and remain so for some time after the vehicle and the engine are stopped. Before handling any component of your vehicle after riding, make sure that it has cooled sufficiently to be safe to handle.

USED ENGINE OIL
Use latex gloves for the maintenance operations that require contact with used oil. Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil may cause severe skin damage, including skin cancer. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
KEEP OIL AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid is extremely poisonous. Never ingest or swallow brake fluid. Should brake fluid accidentally be swallowed, drink large quantities of milk or clear water and immediately seek professional medical assistance. Brake fluid is highly destructive of skin and eye tissue. Should you accidentally spill brake fluid on yourself, remove the contaminated clothing, wash your body with soap and warm water immediately and immediately seek professional m e d i c al a s s i s t an ce . S h o u l d y o u accidentally splash brake fluid into your eyes, flush with a large quantity of cool, clear water and immediately seek professional medical assistance.
KEEP BRAKE FLUID AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
COOLANT
In certain conditions, the ethylene glycol contained in the engine coolant i s flammable; its flame is invisible, but burns may occur in any case.
Avoid spilling the engine coolant on the e x h a u s t s y s t e m o r o n e n g i n e components.
They may be hot enough to cause the coolant to ignite and burn without a visible flame.
The coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause skin irritation and is poisonous if swallowed.
Coolant and coolant/water mixtures are sweet to the taste and brightly colored, therefore highly attractive to pets and children. Take extra precautions to keep new and used coolant out of reach of children and animals.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Risk of burn.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine has completely cooled down. The coolant is under pressure and may splash out and cause burns.
BATTERY HYDROGEN GAS AND ELECTROLYTE
T h e b a t t e r y g i v e s o f f t o x i c a n d explosive gases; keep cigarettes, flames and sparks away from the battery. Provide adequate ventilation when operating or recharging the battery.
During recharging or use, make sure that the room is properly ventilated and avoid inhaling the gases released during recharging.
The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with the skin or eyes may cause serious burns. Always wear protective clothing, rubber gloves, and tight fitting goggles or a face shield when working around the battery, especially when filling the battery with either water or electrolyte.
In case of contact with the skin, flush immediately with plenty of water. In case of contact with the eyes, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. I m m e d i a t e l y c o n s u l t a h e a l t h professional.

WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS - GENERAL ADVICE
Before starting the engine, carefully read this manual and in particular the chapters "WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS - GENERAL ADVICE" and "SAFE DRIVE" see p. 19. Your safety and that of those around you depends not only on your skill as a rider, but also your knowledge about your vehicle and about riding safely. Therefore, it is essential that you do not operate your vehicle on public streets or highways until you have received instructions from a qualified safety organization, such as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, and are properly trained and licensed.
REPORTING OF DEFECTS THAT AFFECT SAFETY
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or result in injury or death, you should immediately inform the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying aprilia. If the NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or aprilia. To contact the NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 3660123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U . S . Department of
Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.

INFORMATION ON THE NOISE AND EXHAUST GAS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
ORIGIN OF THE EMISSIONS
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The control of hydrocarbons is very important, because under certain conditions they react to e x p o s u r e t o s u n l i g h t a n d p r o d u c e photochemical smog.
Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic and poisonous.
aprilia utilizes "lean" carburetor settings a n d o t h e r s y s t e m s t o r e d u c e t h e production of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The Exhaust Emission Control System requires "lean" carburetor settings, so no adjustments should be made except for idle speed adjustments by means of the appropriate screw.

BASIC SAFETY RULES
The instructions given below cover normal operation of your vehicle and must be carefully observed. By following these rules you will enhance your own safety and the safety of those around you. You will also maximize the life and utility of your vehicle.
Two wheeled vehicles obviously do not provide some of the protection provided by automobiles, therefore it is essential that you wear appropriate protective clothing. Especially, never operate your vehicle without wearing your helmet, gloves, eye protection, a heavy jacket, sturdy footwear, and sturdy full length pants.
However, do not assume that even the best clothing and helmet will protect you in the event of an upset or a crash with another vehicle. At best, this gear provides some protection from scrapes and scratches, but very little, if any, impact protection.
Be sure that you meet all the requirements prescribed by local law, including driver's license, minimum age, training, insurance, taxes, vehicle registration, license plate, etc. When you first receive your vehicle, practice by riding in areas where there is little traffic. Do not attempt to ride in heavy traffic until you are thoroughly experienced and riding your vehicle has become second nature to you.
Most states prohibit the operation of this size vehicle on freeways or expressways,
be sure that it is legal to use your vehicle before you take any particular road.
A new vehicle must be carefully broken in, see page 49 (RUNNING-IN).
Before starting the engine, make sure that the brakes, clutch, transmission and throttle controls function properly and that the fuel and oil supply is adequate.
The exhaust system, brakes, and some other parts of the vehicle become very hot during operation. Do not touch any of these parts. Some medicines or drugs, illegal or prescription, and alcohol significantly increase the risk of accidents. Do not ride while you are under the influence of a l c o h o l o r d r u g s , b e t h e y i l l i c i t o r prescription. Make sure you are in good physical condition and not ill before riding your vehicle. Do not ride your vehicle when you are particularly tired or fatigued.
Alcohol, drugs and fatigue are leading causes of vehicle accidents.
Many accidents are caused by the rider's inexperience and lack of training. Do not ride your vehicle until you have received training from a recognized training organization such as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Remember that riding a vehicle, though easy and fun, is quite different from driving a car. Do not assume that you can operate your vehicle safely just because you are a competent automobile driver.
Never lend your vehicle to others unless you are sure that they are competent and properly licensed vehicle operators.
18 use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R
Observe all rules of the road. Particularly pay attention to all warning, regulatory and informational signs.
Avoid showing off (i.e., popping wheelies). Especially observe speed limits, remember that road conditions change with the weather and wet and icy pavements are particularly dangerous for vehicles, especially if you are riding too fast. Remember that automobile drivers have a hard time seeing vehicles, so always give the automobile the right of way, even if it is legally yours.
Before changing lane, look over your shoulder to make sure that the way is clear. Do not rely exclusively on the rearview mirror: you may miscalculate the distance and speed of a vehicle, or you may even not see it at all.
Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control.
Do not tailgate. Do not attempt to increase your gas mileage by following in the slip stream of cars or trucks in front of you.
In case of accident, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds do not provide the same d e g r e e o f p r o t e c t i o n e n s u r e d b y automobiles. Legs, in particular, are exposed to the risk of being injured. However, the additional installation of leg guards may actually increase the risk of injuries and their seriousness in case of accident.
Do not install leg guards available on the market of spare parts and accessories.
Non-compliance with these instructions may result in serious injuries or even death.
Always ride with both hands on the handlebars and feet on the footrests.
Never shift gear without using the clutch, if the vehicle is so equipped. Do not operate the shift lever or the other controls suddenly or abruptly. Such misuse can damage the internal components of the vehicle and consequently cause seizure, loss of control, accidents and serious injuries or even death. Remain in the seat when you are riding.
Do not stand up or attempt to stretch while you are riding your vehicle. If you need to rest, pull over to the side of the road when it can be safely done.

COOLER
OIL
It is very important to your safety that you give full attention to the riding task. Watch what you are doing, do not allow yourself to be distracted by other cars, people or things on the roadside, etc. Never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc. while riding your vehicle.
If you must consult a map, pull over when it can be done safely.
Use only the vehicle's specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART"; check the oil, fuel and coolant levels regularly.
If you and your vehicle are involved in an accident, ensure that there has been no damage to the control levers, tubes, wires, braking system and other vital parts. If your vehicle is involved in an accident, take it immediately to your Local aprilia Dealer who has the equipment and knowledge to check for accidental damage which may compromise your safety.
Your aprilia dealer is ready and able to help you with any safety problems that you might have, but of course it is necessary for you to report any malfunctions to your mechanic in order for him to help you.
Do not use your vehicle if it is damaged. A damaged vehicle may become unstable or present other problems which can increase the risk of accident, and therefore serious injury or even death.
20 use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R
ONLY ORIGINALS
A12 345
Do not attempt to modify the position, angle or color of your license plate. Do not cover it with even a clear plastic covering.
Do not modify any of the safety equipment of your vehicle, especially such safety related items as turn indicators, rear view mirrors, lights or horns.
Any modification to your vehicle will invalidate the warranty.
Do not modify your engine in an attempt to increase the horsepower. This can result in irreparable damage to the engine, as well as degradation of the performance and handling of the vehicle which could lead to an upset, and serious injury or even death.
Have your vehicle repaired only with original parts, and use only original aprilia or aprilia approved accessories. The use of aftermarket accessories and parts can seriously compromise the safety of your vehicle as well as its performance and serviceability. Any modification which affects performance or safety voids your warranty completely.
For the reasons stated above, 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 license plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations (ownership tax) and with penal sanctions provided for using the vehicle without driving license.
This vehicle was not designed to be equipped with a sidecar or to be used to tow trailers or other vehicles.
aprilia does not manufacture sidecars or trailers and therefore cannot predict the effects of such accessories on the maneuverability or stability of the vehicle: it can only warn that such effects may be negative and that any damage to the vehicle components caused by the use of such accessories will not be covered by the warranty.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R |
21 |
Never race other vehicles with your vehicle. Brake with both the front and rear brakes. The use of one brake only for sudden braking may cause the vehicle to skid or make the rider lose control of the vehicle itself. When riding down a steep hill, use the engine as a brake by selecting the same gear, or a lower gear, than you would use to climb the hill. Use front and rear brakes sparingly.
Always ride at the appropriate speed and avoid unnecessary hard acceleration.
This not only is safer, but also reduces fuel consumption and increases the life of the vehicle.
If you must ride your vehicle in rainy weather, or on loose surfaces, remember that traction is greatly reduced. Under these conditions, all handling of the vehicle must be done gradually and smoothly.
Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may make you lose control of your vehicle. When traction is reduced, accelerate and slow using your vehicle's engine braking insofar as possible. Avoid rapid, hard application of the brakes.
Gradually open and close the throttle to avoid spinning or skidding the rear wheel. On rough road surfaces, slow down and ride with particular care.
T r y t o a v o i d w i d e o p e n t h r o t t l e accelerations, unless they are necessary for such things as passing.
Don't allow your engine to "lug", that is, run at too low an rpm. Shift down to a lower gear. Also, don't over-rev the engine.
Observe the redline on the tachometer. Remember that excessively aggressive cornering can cause your vehicle's tires to lose sideways traction, which can result in an upset and serious injury or even death.
22 use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R
Always observe posted and statutory speed limits, but do not assume that you can ride as fast as the speed limit under all road conditions. Slowing down a little can greatly increase your safety under all road conditions. Do not ride your vehicle off road.
Do not tamper with the muffler system or the emissions control system of your vehicle. This is not only bad for the environment, it can subject you to serious penalties.
CLOTHING
Before riding your vehicle, ensure that your riding gear is in good condition. To be effective, your helmet must fit properly, and the visor or other eye protection must be clean. Both research and experience have shown that drivers of other vehicles often do not see vehicles or riders. In order to make yourself more conspicuous to these drivers, wear bright reflective clothing, such as a reflective vest, or clothing with reflective sections sewn into the jacket, pants and gloves. Be particularly aware of approaching automobiles and trucks that might be trying to turn left in front of you.
Many vehicle accidents are caused by an opposing automobile driver making a left turn without warning in front of the vehicle.
Inevitably, the driver will look right at you, yet swear that hedid not see you before turning directly into your path.
Stay alert!
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light and/or reflecting colors. In this way you will make yourself more visible to the other drivers, notably reducing the risk of being knocked down and being more protected in case of fall.
Always wear your crash helmet. Many accidents are fatal because of injuries to the head.
This clothing should be very tightfitting 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.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R |
23 |
Do not carry sharp objects in your pockets that could be dangerous in case of an upset, for example, pens or mechanical pencils, etc. Also, make sure that your passengers follow this recommendation.
ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory.
T h e i n s t a l l a t i o n o f i n a p p r o p r i a t e accessories or the overloading of the vehicle may result in the instability of the vehicle itself and cause accidents with consequent risk of serious injuries or even death. Windshields could be particularly dangerous, as they can break and injure or cut the rider in case of accident. In case of doubts with regard to any accessory you would like to install or any load
you would like to carry, consult your Local aprilia Dealer beforehand.
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 p r o l o n g r e a c t i o n t i m e s d u r i n g a n emergency.
Big fairings and windshields installed on the vehicle may produce aerodynamic forces that will affect the stability of the vehicle during use, especially at high speeds.
Make sure that anything you carry on your vehicle is securely attached, and cannot come loose and jam the wheels, forks, etc. Do not install any electrical accessories, and do not modify the electrical system of your vehicle. Anything that could cause an electrical overload or other fault could cause the vehicle to suddenly stop, the lights to dim or go out, or the horn and other safety accessories not to work. Use only aprilia genuine accessories.
LOAD
Do not overload your vehicle. Attach luggage or packages as close as possible to the center of your vehicle and distribute the load from side to side as evenly as possible, to keep imbalance to a minimum. Remember that loads tend to loosen with riding, so frequently check that your load is secure.
24 use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R
KG!
Do not hang anything from your motorcycle handlebars, fenders, or forks, because this will alter the handling of your motorcycle and could prevent you from avoiding an accident. Failure to heed this warning may lead to an upset with consequent serious injury or even death.
Do not ride with your crash helmet hung from the strap because it could easily foul the wheels, fenders, or forks, causing an upset and subsequent serious injury or even death. Carry a passenger only if your vehicle is equipped with passenger footpegs, handgrips for the passenger to hold on to, and a passenger seat.
When carrying a passenger, remember that your vehicle's handling is reduced, that the brakes are less efficient, and the center of gravity is higher and further to the rear.
This makes it more likely that the front wheel will come up off the ground, especially on acceleration. Therefore, you should avoid hard acceleration and hard braking. Many accidents are caused by inexperienced riders carrying passengers.
Remember that allowance must be made for the extra weight of the passenger for all driving maneuvers.
Avoid abrupt and excessive acceleration. Always slow down in time and calculate l o n g e r s t o p p i n g a n d m a n e u v e r i n g distances. Non-compliance with these instructions may lead to the overturning of the vehicle or to other accidents with consequent serious injuries or even death.
Never carry loosely packed items. Make sure that everything that you carry on your vehicle is carefully secured.
Do not carry packs that protrude from the luggage rack or that cover any of the signal lights, the headlight, or the horn. Never carry animals or children on the glove compartment or on the luggage rack.
Never exceed the labeled maximum load for each saddlebag.
Overloading your vehicle seriously reduces its stability and maneuverability and can lead to an upset with consequent serious injury or death.
