CAUTION

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This manual describes matters pertaining to correct operation,
safe operation and simple maintenance of the vehicle you
purchased.
To ensure more comfortable and safer operation, make sure to
read this manual carefully prior to operation.

●The photographs and drawings shown in this manual may

differ from those of actual vehicles due to changes in vehicle
specifications and modifications made.

●This vehicle is designed for 2 riders including the operator.

●

Do not use polluted gasoline.

Using polluted gasoline will cause rust inside the fuel
tank, and will close the supply of fuel to the
carburetor, leading to an improper engine starting or
may cause serious damage to an engine.

●

Do not use polluted or low-grade oil.

Always use genuine oil to protect and extend vehicle

performance and its life span.

●

If any failure occurs due to the use of polluted gasoline
or oil, such failure will be excluded from being eligible
for repairs under the warranty.

●

As far as any defect caused by contaminated gasoline or
oil, the warranty will be automatically invalidated.

●Careful driving and the wearing of proper attire and safety

equipment are the most important factors in the safe operation
of the scooter. Please obey traffic regulations and do not be
hurried and careless.

●Many new vehicle owners operate their newly purchased

vehicles with great care and attention to safety factors.
However, after becoming accustomed to the operations are
often discarded, which can lead to accidents. Please don't let
this happen to you and always approach the operation of your
vehicle with the safety considerations needed.

the weight of front wheel and cause trembling steering wheel.

●A passenger should hold on to the vehicle or the operator with

both hands and keep both feet on the pillion step bar.

- Don’t ride in another motorist’s “blind spot”.

●

Be sure you and your passenger always wear a helmet,
eye pretection and other protective apparel when you
