Page 5
DEPARTURE AND DRIVE
NOTE Before departure, carefully read the
“safe drive” chapter, see page 5 (SAFE
DRIVE).
WARNING
Any mention to the use of the vehicle with
passenger is to be intended as referred
only to the countries where this is allowed.
If you drive without passenger, make sure
that the passenger footrests are folded.
While riding, keep your hands on the grips
and your feet on the footrests.
NEVER RIDE IN ANY POSITION OTHER
THAN THOSE INDICATED.
WARNING
If you drive with a passenger, instruct
him/her so that he / she does not create
problems during manouvres.
Before leaving, make sure that the stand/
stands is / are completely up.
To leave:
♦ Release the throttle grip (Pos. A), put on
the rear brake, then move the vehicle
down the stand.
♦ Get on the vehicle, keeping at least one
foot on the ground in order not to lose balance.
♦ Adjust the inclination of the rear-view mir-
rors correctly.
WARNING
With the vehicle at rest, try to get acquainted with the use of the rear-view
mirrors.
use and maintenance
♦ To leave, release the brake lever and the
vehicle will start moving.
CAUTION
Do not start off abruptly when the engine
is cold.
To reduce the emission of polluting substances and the consumption of fuel,
warm the engine up by proceeding at low
speed for the first miles.
WARNING
Avoid opening and closing the throttle repeatedly and continuously, so that you
do not accidentally lose control of the
vehicle.
Scarabeo 50 - Scarabeo 100 4T
41
Page 6
If you have to brake, close the throttle and
put on both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration, properly exerting pressure on the braking parts.
By putting on the front brake only or the
rear brake only, you reduce the braking
force considerably, thus running the risk
of locking one wheel and consequently
losing grip.
If you stop uphill, decelerate completely
and use the brakes only to keep the vehicle steady.
Using the engine to keep the vehicle stationary can overheat the clutch and the
variator.
Before beginning to turn, slow down or
brake driving at moderate and constant
speed or accelerating slightly; avoid
braking at the last moment: it would be
very easy to skid.
If the brakes are operated continuously
on downhill stretches, the friction material may overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency.
Exploit the engine compression by
putting on both brakes intermittently.
Never drive downhill with the engine off!
When riding in conditions of poor visibil-
WARNINGWARNINGWARNING
ity, switch on the high beam lights to improve the visibility also in the daytime; in
case of wet road or scarce wheel grip
(snow, ice, mud, etc.), drive slowly , avoiding sudden brakings or manoeuvres that
could make you lose grip and fall down.

Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle
or variation of the road surface.
Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications painted on the road surface,
building site metal plates become rather
slippery by rain. For this reason all these
obstacles have to be carefully avoided,
driving smoothly and bending the vehicle as little as possible.
Always use the direction indicators in
time when you intend to change lane or
direction, avoiding sharp and dangerous
movements.
Switch off the direction indicators as
soon as you have changed direction.
Be extremely careful when you overtake
other vehicles or are overtaken.
In case of rain, the water cloud created
by big vehicles reduces visibility; the air
shift may make you lose control of the
vehicle.
If the mixer oil reserve warning light “
WARNINGWARNINGWARNING
comes on during the normal functioning
of the engine, this means that the mixer
oil reserve is being used; in this case, top
up the mixer oil tank, see page 28 (MIXER
OIL).

RUNNING-IN
WARNING
After the first 500 km (312 mi), carry out
the checking operations indicated in the
column “After running-in” of the REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see
page 48 - 53, in order to avoid hurting
yourself or other people and/or damaging the vehicle.
The running-in of the engine is primary to
ensure its correct functioning and its correct
functioning. If possible, drive on hilly roads
and/or roads with many bends, so that the
engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in.
For the first 500 km (312 mi), keep to the
following indications:
♦ 0-100 km (0-62 mi)
During the first 100 km (62 mi) put on the
brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and
prolonged brakings. This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake
disc.
♦ 0-300 km (0-187 mi)
Do not keep the throttle grip open more
than one half for long stretches.
♦ 300-500 km (187-312 mi)
Do not keep the throttle grip open more
than three-fourths for long stretches.

gradually put on the brakes to stop the
vehicle.
♦ In case of a brief stop, keep at least one
brake on.
PARKING
Park the vehicle on firm and flat ground,
