WARNING
Before departure, always carry out a preliminary checking of the vehicle, to make
sure that it functions correctly and safely,
see the following table PRELIMINARY
CHECKING OPERATIONS.
The non-performance of these checking
operations can cause severe personal

Official Dealer in case there is something
you do not understand about the functioning of some controls or in case you
suspect or discover some irregularities.
It does not take long to carry out a checkup and this operation ensures you much
more safety.

♦ Release the throttle grip (7).
♦ If the idling is unstable, twist the throttle
grip (7) slightly and frequently.
To leave, see page 41 (DEPARTURE AND
DRIVE).
If the engine does not start.
Wait a few seconds and repeat the STARTING WITH COLD ENGINE procedure.
♦ If necessary, remove the spark plug, see
page 71 (SPARK PLUG) and make sure
that it is not wet.
♦ If the spark plug is wet, clean and dry it.
Before reinstalling it:
NOTE Put a clean cloth on the cylinder,
near the spark plug seat, in order to protect
it from oil sprays.
♦ Press the start push button “ ” (6) and
let the starter run for about five seconds,
without accelerating.
STARTING
AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
After a long period of inactivity, if the start is
not immediate, this may be due to the fact
that the fuel circuit is partially empty.
In this case:
♦ Press the start push button “ ” (5) for
about five seconds, in order to ensure the
filling of the float chamber.
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
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.
