Hot parts
The engine and the exhaust system components get very hot and remain in this condition for a certain
time interval after the engine has been switched off. Before handling these components, make sure that
you are wearing insulating gloves or wait until the engine and the exhaust system have cooled down.
Coolant
The coolant contains ethylene glycol which, under certain conditions, can become flammable.
When it burns, ethylene glycol produces an invisible flame which however can cause burns.
CAUTION
TAKE PARTICULAR CARE NOT TO SPILL COOLANT ONTO HOT PARTS OR THE ENGINE AND
EXHAUST SYSTEM; THE FLUID MAY CATCH FIRE AND BURN WITH INVISIBLE FLAMES. WHEN
CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES.
WHILE POISONOUS, COOLANT HAS A SWEET TASTE WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY APPEALING TO ANIMALS. NEVER LEAVE COOLANT IN OPEN CONTAINERS WHERE IT MAY BE
REACHED AND DRUNK BY AN ANIMAL.

Maintenance rules
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
When repairs, disassembly and reassembly of the vehicle is carried out, follow the following recom-
mendations strictly.
CHAR - 8
Dune 125 - Dune X 125 - Euro 4
BEFORE DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
Remove the dirt, mud, dust and foreign objects from the vehicle before disassembling com-
ponents. Wherever required, use the special tools designed for this vehicle.
DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
Do not loosen and/or tighten the screws and nuts using pliers or other tools, but always use
the specific wrench.
Mark the positions on all the connection joints (hoses, cables, etc.) before separating them
and identify them with different distinctive marks.
Each piece should be clearly marked in order to be identified during the installation phase.
Carefully clean and wash the disassembled components with detergents with a low flam-
mability grade.
Keep the coupled parts together because they have "adapted" to one another following
normal wear.
Characteristics
Some components must be used together or replaced entirely.
Keep away from heat sources.
REASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
CAUTION
BEARINGS MUST ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE, OTHERWISE, THEY
NEED TO BE REPLACED.
Only use ORIGINAL Malaguti SPARE PARTS.
Comply with lubricant and consumables use guidelines.
Lubricate parts (whenever possible) before reassembling them.
When tightening nuts and screws, start either from the components with the largest diameter
or from the innermost components, proceeding diagonally. Tighten nuts and screws in suc-
cessive steps before applying the tightening torque.
and screws with new parts if the thread is damaged.
When assembling the bearings, make sure to lubricate them well.
Check that each component is assembled correctly.
After a repair or routine maintenance, carry out pre-ride checks and test the vehicle on
private grounds or in an area with low traffic.
Clean all mating surfaces, oil seal rims and gaskets before refitting. Smear a thin layer of
lithium-based grease on the oil seal rims. Reassemble oil seals and bearings with the brand
or batch number facing outward (visible side).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
Electric connectors must be disconnected as described below; failure to comply with this procedure
causes irreparable damage to both the connector and the wiring harness:
Press the relative safety clips, if applicable.
CHAR - 9
Characteristics
Grip the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in opposite directions.
If any signs of dirt, rust, moisture, etc. are noted, clean the inside of the connector carefully
Dune 125 - Dune X 125 - Euro 4
with a jet of compressed air.
Ensure that the cables are correctly fastened to the internal connector terminals.
Then connect the two connectors, ensuring that they couple correctly (if fitted with clips, you
will hear them "click" into place).
CAUTION
DO NOT DISCONNECT CONNECTORS BY PULLING THE CABLES.
NOTE
THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN ONLY BE CONNECTED IN ONE DIRECTION: CONNECT THEM
THE RIGHT WAY ROUND.
TIGHTENING TORQUE
CAUTION
REMEMBER THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUE FOR ALL THE FIXING ELEMENTS LOCATED ON
WHEELS, BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN GUARANTEEING THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND MUST BE KEPT AT
THE PRESCRIBED VALUES. REGULARLY CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUE OF THE FIXING
ELEMENTS AND ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH WHEN REFITTING. IF THESE WARNINGS
ARE NOT OBSERVED, ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS COULD LOOSEN AND COME OFF,
BLOCKING A WHEEL OR CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS THAT WOULD COMPROMISE MANOEUVRABILITY, LEADING TO A CRASH WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH.
Running-in
Running the engine in correctly is essential for ensuring engine longevity and functionality. Twisty roads
and gradients are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension effectively. Vary your riding
speed during the running in period. This ensures that components operate in "loaded" conditions and
then "unloaded" conditions, allowing the engine components to cool.
CAUTION
THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE AT
THE END OF THE RUNNING IN PERIOD.
Follow these guidelines:
Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during or after the
running in period.
During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged
braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake
discs.
AFTER THE SPECIFIED MILEAGE, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO AN Official Malaguti Dealer FOR
THE CHECKS INDICATED IN THE "RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS" TABLE IN THE SCHEDULED
MAIN- TENANCE SECTION TO AVOID INJURING YOURSELF, OTHERS AND /OR DAMAGING
THE VEHICLE.
