SCOOTER SAFETY

Your scooter can provide you many years of service and pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges that you can meet on the road. There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You will find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. Here are some very important safety tips:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Wear a helmet

Scooter safety equipment starts with a quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries you can suffer in a crash is a head injury. Always wear a properly approved helmet. You should also wear suitable eye protection.

Make yourself easy to see

To make yourself more visible, wear bright reflective clothing, position yourself so other drivers can see you, signal before turning or changing lanes, and use your horn when it will help others notice you.

Know your limits

Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within them will help you to avoid accidents.

For safe riding, it's important to inspect your scooter before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits, and only use accessories that have been approved by KYMCO for this scooter.

Keep your scooter in safe condition

Do not forget to perform an entire safety inspection to ensure you, and your passenger's safety, before each ride.

Inspect your scooter before riding

Riding on bad weather days, especially wet ones, requires extra caution. Braking distance can double on a rainy day. Stay off of the painted surfaces, manhole covers and greasy appearing areas on the pavement, as they can be especially slippery. Use extreme caution at railway crossings and on metal gratings and bridges. Whenever you are in doubt about the road conditions, slow down.

Be extra safety conscious on bad weather days

Modification of your scooter, or removal of original equipment may render the vehicleunsafe or illegal. Obey all applicable equipment regulations in your area.

MAINTENANCE

Spark plug

Remove the carbon deposits from the spark plug with a small wire brush or a spark plug cleaning machine. After cleaning (or when installing a new spark plug) readjust the sparkplug gap tospecified limit by using a spark plug gap thickness gauge. The spark plug should be replaced periodically.

Whenever removing the carbon deposits, be sure to observe the color of the removed spark plug's porcelain tip. This color tells you whether or not the standard spark plug is suitable for your type of riding. Under normal usage, a spark plug's porcelain tip should be light brown or tan color.

If the spark plug porcelain tip is very white or glazed appearing, then the spark plug has been operating too hot. In such a situation, you should replace the standard spark plug with a spark plug that has a colder heat range (usually a higher number; consult with your KYMCO dealer when selecting an alternate spark plug).

CAUTION

An improper spark plug may have an incorrect fit or heat range for your engine. This may cause severe engine damagewhich will not be covered under warranty. Never use a spark plug with an improper heat range, as severe engine damage could result.

MAINTENANCE

Brake fluid

With the scooter in an upright position, check the front and rear fluid level.

Brake fluid level inspection

The level should be above the lower level mark. If the level is at or below the lower level mark "LOWER”, check the brake pads for wear.

NOTE: Other checks - make sure there are no fluid leaks. Check for deterioration or cracks in the hoses and fittings.

WARNING

Worn brake pads should be replaced immediately. If the pads are not worn, have your brake system inspected for leaks. Do not ride your scooter unless the brakes are in perfect working order.

Brake fluid type: DOT 4

Page 34

MAINTENANCE

Your scooter requires the proper brake lever freeplay so the brakes will be responsive and will not drag, causing premature wear to the brake pads.

Brake inspection

The free-play is the measured distance between the brake lever at rest and a fully applied brake.

Measure the free-play and the brake lever end

0.4 - 0.6 in (10 - 20 mm).

Use the cable adjusteron rearbrake leverperch for minor free play adjustment.

To perform free play adjustment outside of the range of the cable adjusters on the brake lever perches, use the adjuster nut at the end of the brake cable where it connects to the brake arm.

NOTE: Before adjusting the free play with the brake arm adjuster nut, turn the adjusters on the brake lever perches as far as they will turn in a clockwise direction.

Rotating the adjuster nut clockwise reduces the clutch lever free play. Rotating the adjuster nut counterclockwise increases the clutch lever play.

0.4 -0.6 in (10-20 mm)

Read this section of Owner'sManual carefully.

NOTE: Check the tire inflation pressure and tire tread condition at the periods listed in the periodic maintenance schedule. For maximum safety and good tire life, the tire pressures should be inspected more often.

Insufficient air pressure in the tires not only accelerates tire wear but it also affects the stability of your scooter. Under-inflated tires make smooth cornering difficult and overinflated tires decrease the amount of tire in contact with the ground, which can lead to skids and loss of control. Make sure that the tire pressures on your scooter are within the specified limits at all times.
