safe drive
BASIC SAFETY RULES
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.
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.
use and maintenance
6
Scarabeo 50 - Scarabeo 100 4T
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, etc.
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 keep both hands on the handlebars
and both feet on the footboard (or on the footrests), in the correct driving posture.
Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs
while driving.

OIL
COOLER
The driver should pay attention and avoid
distractions caused by people, things and
movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read,
etc.) while driving.
use and maintenance
8
Scarabeo 50 - Scarabeo 100 4T
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 care-
fully 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.
Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, direction indicators,
lights and horns.
Any modification of the vehicle will result in
the invalidity of the guarantee.
3
Only for vehicles up to 50 cm
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

ONLY ORIGINALS
the following obligations for the owner:
– new homologation;
– new registration;
– 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 appropriate 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.
Only for vehicles over 50 cm
3
Any change made to the vehicle and removal
of original parts can compromise the vehicle’s performance, thus affecting the safety
or making it illegal.
We suggest that the law and national and
local regulations as to the vehicle equipment
be always observed.
In particular, avoid making any technical
changes aimed at increasing the speed of
the vehicle or that may alter the original specifications of the vehicle itself.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.
use and maintenance
CLOTHING
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.
Scarabeo 50 - Scarabeo 100 4T

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).

Scarabeo 50 - Scarabeo 100 4T
ACCESSORIES
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.
Big fairings and windshields installed on the
vehicle may produce aerodynamic forces
that affect the stability of the vehicle, especially when riding at high speed.
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).
LOAD
Be careful and moderate when loading your
luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close
as possible to the center of gravity 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.
KG!
Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards
and forks: 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, because they 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.
use and maintenance
Do not exceed the maximum load allowed
for each side-bag.
When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability
and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.

MAIN COMPONENTS
FUEL
WARNING
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and in
particular conditions it can become explosive.
It is important to carry out the refuelling
and the maintenance operations in a wellventilated area, with the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel
vapours, in any case avoid any contact
with naked 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 is completely dry before starting the vehicle.
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 carefully after refuelling.
Avoid any contact of the fuel with the skin
and the inhalation of vapours; do not
swallow fuel or pour it from a receptacle
into another by means of a tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only premium petrol (4 Stars
) DIN
51600 standard, min. O.N. 98 (N.O.R.M.)
and 88 (N.O.M.M.).
Use only unleaded petrol, in conformity with
100
the DIN 51607 standard, min. O.N. 95
(N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).
To refuel, proceed as follows:
♦
Lift the saddle, see page 24 (UNLOCKING / LOCKING THE SADDLE).
♦ Unscrew and remove the fuel tank plug
(1).

LUBRICANTS
WARNING
Oil can cause serious damage to the skin
if handled every day and for long periods. Wash your hands carefully after using oil.
In case any maintenance operation has
to be carried out, it is advisable to use
latex gloves.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF OIL IN THE ENVI-
RONMENT.
CAUTION
Proceed with care.
Do not spill the oil!
Take care not to smear any component,
the area in which you are working and
the surrounding area.
Carefully remove any trace of oil.
In case of leakages or malfunctions, contact an aprilia Official Dealer.
MIXER OIL
Top up with fresh oil every 2000 km (1250
mi).
The vehicle is provided with a power unit
controlling an electronic pump providing the
right amount of oil required for the engine
lubrication (see page 90 LUBRICANT
CHART).
The reserve is signaled by the mixer oil reserve warning light “

CAUTION
The use of the vehicle without mixer oil
causes serious damages to the engine.
If you run out of oil in the mixer oil tank
or if the mixer oil pipe has been removed,
it is necessary to contact an aprilia Offi-
cial Dealer, who will provide for bleeding
the system.
This operation is indispensable, since the
operation of the engine with air in the
mixer oil system may cause serious damages to the engine itself.

ENGINE OIL
In four-stroke engines oil is used to lubricate the valve gear components, the crankshaft bearings and the power plant.
100
If the oil level is checked after the vehicle
has been used, thus with engine hot, the
level may be lower; to check the oil correct
level, wait for at least 10 minutes after stopping the engine.
WARNING
A lack of engine oil can cause serious
damage to the engine.
In all four-stroke engines, oil deterioration
and consumption are, to some extent, normal. Oil consumption partly depends on the
riding conditions (e.g. constantly riding at full
throttle increases oil consumption).
The oil renewal intervals shown in the maintenance schedule are based on the engine
oil capacity and on an oil consumption average calculated according to standard
methods.
CAUTION
To ensure proper engine operation, we
recommend checking the oil level every
time the vehicle is used.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the engine oil level every 2000 km
(1250 mi).
♦
Position the vehicle on the centre stand as
described on page 46 (POSITIONING THE
VEHICLE ON THE CENTRE STAND)
.
CAUTION
Everytime the vehicle is used with the
engine cold, check the oil level that must
be between the MAX and MIN level marks.
The MAX level mark indicates an amount of
oil of about 850 cc.
