SCREEN PAGES AND OPERATIONS ON THE SUBMENU

01_08

MAXIMUM, AVERAGE AND INSTANTANEOUS SPEED

- The indication of the instantaneous speed is detectable on the speedometer.

1 Vehicle

01_09

- Navigating on the display as described, the total «AVG» average speed of TRIP A or TRIP B can be displayed, depending on the menu consulted.

01_10

- Navigating on the display as described, the total «MAX» maximum speed reached of TRIP A or TRIP B can be displayed, depending on the menu consulted.

01_11

INSTANTANEOUS TRAVEL AND AVERAGE TRAVEL

Are indicated in «km/l» or in «mi/gal», according to the measurement unit set in the display.

- The travel is the first screen page displayed on the display and is also the one you return to, with a long press of the «MODE» button, that enables to exit from the submenu related to «TOTAL», «TRIP A» or «TRIP B».

- The average travel, in each of the submenus, is the next screen page and can be distinguished by the «AVG» indication.

01_12

The travel is displayed only if the speed is greater than 5 km/h (3 mph), otherwise the symbol «--.-» is displayed.

The average distance is also calculated with the vehicle stopped, but turned on. In the case of resetting data with the «ODO/TRIP» button, the average travel will be indicated after travelling at least 0.1 km (0.1 mi).

01_13

RESIDUAL AUTONOMY

The residual autonomy, indicated in «km» or «mi» according to the display settings, is a calculated and estimated value.

Residual autonomy is estimated based on the average travel of the last three minutes, therefore a better estimation of autonomy if riding at a constant speed is calculated.

From the lighting up of the reserve warning light, the residual autonomy value indicated will be «---». Refuel as soon as possible.

MEASUREMENT UNIT

01_34

01_35

System ABS (01_34, 01_35)

The vehicle is equipped with a locking ABS system on the wheels.

A: Tone wheel B: Speed sensor

•

ABS: It is a hydraulic - electronic device that limits the pressure within the braking circuit when a sensor, located on the wheel, detects its tendency to lock. This system prevents the wheels from locking to avoid the risk of falling.

In case of failure of the ABS system, immediately reported to the rider with ABS warning light on the instrument panel, the vehicle retains the characteristics of a conventional braking system. In case of ABS warning light, reduce speed and go to an Authorised Service Centre for the appropriate checks. The safety provided by the ABS does not, in any case, justify risky manoeuvres. The stopping distance may be greater, compared to a conventional vehicle equipped with traditional braking in the following conditions:

•

Riding on rough roads, with gravel or snow

•

Riding on roads with holes or bumps

It is therefore recommended to reduce speed in these conditions.

AT VERY LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 5 KM/H) THE ABS SYSTEM IS DISABLED. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PAY ATTENTION THEREFORE IN CASES OF BRAK-

ING IN LOW GRIP CONDITIONS AT LOW SPEED (FOR EXAMPLE BRAKING ON

1 Vehicle

GARAGE FLOOR TILES AFTER HAVING RIDDEN ON WET ROADS OR SIMILAR SITUATIONS)

N.B. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL REACHING 5 KM/

H. CAUTION

IN THE EVENT OF MALFUNCTION OF THE BATTERY, THE ABS - ASR SYSTEM TURNS OFF

System ASR (01_36, 01_37)

ASR SYSTEM

The ASR system is a device to help riding that helps the rider during acceleration manoeuvres, especially on slippery surfaces or in conditions that can cause sudden slippage of the rear wheel. The ASR in these situations automatically intervenes by reducing engine output within the limit imposed by the grip conditions, contributing significantly to the maintenance of stability the vehicle.

WARNING

THE ASR SYSTEM IS BASED ON THE RECOGNITION OF SPEED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR WHEEL. IN ORDER FOR THE SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY IN ALL CONDITIONS, THE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

MUST BE PERFORMED EVERY TIME, EVEN IN CASE OF REPLACE-

MENT OF JUST ONE TYRE.

FOR THE CALIBRATION OF THE CONTROL UNIT PERFORM THE PROCEDURE BELOW.

01_36

01_37

•

SWITCH «1»: on / off.

•

WARNING LIGHT «2»: operating indication warning light.

Flashing mode:

Off with the vehicle in gear: the system is working, but is not active (normal condition).

Flashing quickly with moving vehicle: the system is up and running (conditions of low grip and intervention to reduce engine power); we recommend the utmost caution because the grip limit has been exceeded; restore the vehicle safety conditions by gently reducing the throttle opening.

Lit with moving vehicle: the system is disabled and will not intervene in case of loss of grip.

•

If the deactivation was voluntary (by pressing the appropriate button «1» for 1 second) it is recommended to replace the system as soon as possible.

•

If the deactivation was NOT voluntary, there is an ASR failure: in this case you must contact an Authorised Service Centre for the diagnosis and the reactivation of the system.

To ensure maximum safety of the vehicle it is advisable to keep the system active. Deactivation may be necessary only in case of starting with very low grip surfaces (mud, snow) on which the operation of the ASR could actually prevent the movement of the vehicle.

N.B. AT VEHICLE START-UP THE ASR WARNING LIGHT FLASHES AT THE SAME

FREQUENCY AS THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, INDICATING A DIAGNOSTIC PHASE OF THE SYSTEM. IN THE ABSENCE OF ERRORS, BOTH WARNING LIGHTS TURN OFF AT THE SAME TIME WHEN EXCEEDING 5 KM/H.

IN CASE OF ABSENCE OF FLASHING AT START-UP, THE SYSTEM MAY NOT WORKING, PLEASE CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.

1 Vehicle

WARNING

THE ASR SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AT EVERY «ON» POSITIONING OF THE IGNITION SWITCH.

IF DISABLED BY THE USER, THE ASR SYSTEM KEEPS THE STATE OF INACTIVITY ONLY IF THE VEHICLE IS OFF, BY USING THE ENGINE STOP SWITCH; AT THE NEXT KEY ON THE ASR SYSTEM IS ENABLED AUTOMATICALLY.

CAUTION

IT IS EMPHASISED THAT THE RIDING AUXILIARY SYSTEM CAN NOT CHANGE THE PHYSICAL LIMITS OF GRIP AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER MANAGEMENT OF POWER, BOTH ON STRAIGHT STRETCHES AND IN TURNS. THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO ALWAYS USE THE VEHICLE WITH THE UTMOST CARE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE.

CAUTION

AT LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 5 KM/H), THE ASR SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION IN THE EVENT OF

ACCELERATION FROM STANDSTILL IN CONDITIONS OF LOW GRIP, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST METRES.

N.B. IN CASE OF A ROAD FULL OF HOLES THERE BRIEF ACTIVATIONS OF THE

ASR SYSTEM MAY OCCUR. THIS OCCURRENCE IS PART OF THE NORMAL CONDITIONS OF OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

N.B. THE DEVICE PREVENTS IMPRESSING ON THE REAR HIGH SPEED ROTATION

WHEEL WITH THE VEHICLE ON THE CENTRE STAND. IT IS RECOMMENDED NOT TO INSIST WITH THE THROTTLE GRIP IN THIS PARTICULAR CONDITION.

CAUTION

A POOR STATE OF MAINTENANCE OF THE TYRES CAN RESULT IN ABNORMAL OPERATION OF THE ASR SYSTEM.

IN CASE OF REPEATED INTERVENTIONS OF THE ASR, EVEN ON ROAD SURFACES WITH GOOD GRIP OR SMALL THROTTLE OPENINGS, IT IS NECESSARY TO CHECK FOR WEAR AND/OR THE STATE OF INFLATION OF TYRES FIRST. IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.

CAUTION

IN THE EVENT OF MALFUNCTION OF THE BATTERY, THE ABS - ASR SYSTEM TURNS OFF

ASR SYSTEM CALIBRATION PROCEDURE.

In order to maintain the effectiveness of the ASR system following the replacement of one or both tyres a calibration procedure of the system must be performed as follows on a straight flat stretch of road. Please note that the request for activation of the procedure (steps 1 to 4) must be completed within 60 sec from ignition on the engine.

• It is necessary that the diagnostic phase of the ASR systems and ABS is complete: for this purpose, after the key ON, ride a short distance above 5 km/h and wait for the flashing of the two warning lights to stop.

• Turn the ASR system off by pressing the button «1» on the handlebar and check that the ASR disabling warning light «2» is on.

1 Vehicle

• Allow the engine to idle for at least 3 seconds.

• Press the ASR on/off button «1» for at least 4 seconds. The activation process will be confirmed by the ASR warning light «2» turning on with slow flashing.

• Accelerate to a constant speed of 30 to 40 km/h and maintain it for at least 7 to 8 seconds.

• The end of the procedure will be indicated by the flashing ASR warning light «2».

• Once the procedure is complete it is necessary to turn off the vehicle panel (key off) and wait 30 seconds before turning the panel on (key on).

• In case of failure to complete the procedure within 2 minutes the ASR warning light «2» will stay on steady and the ASR will remain off until the panel is turned off (key off).

• To restart the ASR it is necessary to turn on vehicle panel (key on). It is however necessary to repeat the process until it succeeds.

CAUTION

IF NECESSARY, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.

The immobilizer system

In order to enhance theft protection, the vehicle is equipped with a «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER » electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when the

ignition switch is removed. Upon start-up, the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system checks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the Immobiliser system allow the vehicle to be started.

01_38

01_39

01_40

Keys (01_38, 01_39, 01_40)

The vehicle is supplied with two types of keys. The «A» key with a brown grip and the "MASTER" key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program all your other keys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance operations. We therefore recommend that it be used only under exceptional circumstances. The blue key «B» (single copy supplied) is used for normal operations and for start-up.

Together with the keys comes a CODE CARD which is imprinted with the mechanical code of the keys.

WARNING

THE LOSS OF THE BROWN KEY PREVENTS LATER REPAIRS TO THE "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" SYSTEM AND TO THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.

WARNING IT IS ADVISED THAT THE "CODE CARD" AND THE KEY WITH THE BROWN GRIP

BE KEPT IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT ON THE VEHICLE).

1 Vehicle

01_41

Immobilizer device enabled indicator led (01_41)

The activation of the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILISER» system is signalled by the a flashing indicator «A».

In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically after 48 hours of uninterrupted functioning.

Should the system fail, different LED flashing patterns will provide the Authorised

Service Centre with information on the type of fault detected.

Operation

Each time the ignition switch B» is removed while in the «OFF» or «LOCK» positions, the protection system activates the engine lock. Turning the ignition key «B» to «ON» disables the engine lock, provided that the safety system recognises the code transmitted by the key. If the code is not recognised, turn the ignition switch B» first to «OFF» and then back to «ON» again; if lock persists, try again using the «A» MASTER key. If the engine cannot be started, contact an Authorised Service Centre, which is provided with the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system.

When the supplementary starter keys are required, remember that the all the keys, whether new or existing, should be programmed.

Contact an Authorised Service Centre and bring the «A» MASTER key and all «B» starter keys that you own.

The codes of starter keys not submitted for the new programming procedure are deleted from the memory. Any lost starter keys will therefore not be enabled to start the engine.

WARNING

EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT MEMORY.

VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE KEY.

02_24

Automatic transmission (02_24)

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the best performance (acceleration and consumption) while driving on both flat roads and uphill.

If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake

to keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the motor to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat.

It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (other than those previously indicated) such as driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes, or starting off with driver and passenger at slopes greater than 25%.

Take the following precautions if the clutch overheats:

1.Do not continue riding in such conditions.

2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.

02_25

Safe driving (02_25)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of a safe ride. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic - free zones, in order to acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle it self.

1. Before riding off, remember to put the helmet on and fasten it correctly.

2. Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.

3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be

poor at the beginning. In these conditions, it is a good idea to apply the brakes from time to time.

4. Do not brake hard on wet, unsurfaced or slippery roads.

2 Use

5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when it is resting on its support. In any case, in order to avoid abrupt departures, the rear wheel should not be turning when in comes into contact with the ground.

6. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc., clean the brake disc frequently with a mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive particles from building up inside the holes, which can result in early brake pad wear.

CAUTION

ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICINES IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTER ADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. ADDING ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE THE VEHICLE'S STABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY DURING USE.

NEVER RIDE THE VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORIES (PANNIERS, TOP BOX AND/OR WINDSHIELD) AT A SPEED HIGHER THAN 110 km/h.

THE VEHICLE CAN BE RIDDEN AT A HIGHER SPEED WITHOUT THE ACCESSORIES MENTIONED BEFORE WITHIN THE LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY LAW.

IF THERE ARE ANY NON-PIAGGIO ACCESSORIES INSTALLED, OR AN ABNORMAL LOAD, OR IF THE SCOOTER IS NOT IN A GENERALLY GOOD CONDITION, OR WHENEVER WEATHER CONDITIONS DEMAND IT, SPEED SHOULD BE FURTHER REDUCED.

CAUTION

DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE RIDING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

CAUTION

ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCH AS TAMPERING WITH ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY LAW, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED TYPE AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.

Maintenance

Engine oil level

In 4-stroke engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bushes and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and certain consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil consumption increases). The replacement intervals provided for by the maintenance programme are defined depending on the total content of oil in the engine and the average consumption measured following standardised methods.

In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The scooter is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.

03_01

Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)

Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when the engine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level should be somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level rod; «A»; while the oil is being checked, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even, horizontal surface.

If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.

03_02

03_03

Engine oil top-up (03_03)

The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without ever exceeding the MAX. level.

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_04)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned to «ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If the

light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-up the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre.

Engine oil change

To replace the engine oil and oil filter, as reported in the scheduled maintenance table, contact an Authorised Service Centre.

CAUTION

RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADEQUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.

TOPPING UP THE ENGINE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION AND/OR A DROP IN PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.

USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE.

Cooling fluid level (03_13, 03_14, 03_15)

Engine cooling is carried out by a forced-circulation coolant system. The coolant consists of a mixture 50% de-ionised water and 50% glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors. The coolant supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.

For the proper operation of the engine, the temperature of the cooling liquid must be maintained at about 90°C (mid-scale instrument indicator, approximately). If the needle of the gauge enters the red zone, stop the engine, let it cool down and check the coolant level; if the level is OK, contact an Authorised Service Centre.

Check coolant when the engine is cold and as indicated in the scheduled maintenance tables, following the steps below.

1. Put the vehicle in an upright position on its stand and turn completely left the handlebars.

2. Open the right dashboard glove-box by lifting it.

3. Remove the expansion tank cap «A» by turning it anticlockwise.

03_14

03_15

4. Look inside the expansion tank and check that the fluid level is always between the «MIN» and «MAX» level marks.

5. Top-up the fluid when it is close to the minimum mark. If the level is not correct, proceed to top-up when the engine is cold. If the coolant

needs to be topped up frequently or the expansion tank is completely dry, check the cooling system to find the cause of the problem. It is therefore essential to have the cooling system checked at an Authorised Service Centre.

Replace coolant as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre for this operation.

Use of a new battery (03_23)

Ensure that the terminals are connected correctly and check the voltage.

CAUTION

DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY: RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Long periods of inactivity

Battery performance will be poor if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging, and may be due to residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanliness of the poles. In order to avoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow any of these steps:

- At least once a month start the engine and run it slightly above idle speed for 10-15 minutes. This keeps all the engine components, as well as the battery, in good working order.

- Store the vehicle (as indicated in the «Vehicle inactivity» section in this chapter) with the battery removed. Have the battery cleaned, charged fully and stored in a dry, ventilated place. Recharge at least once every two months.

CAUTION THE BATTERY MUST BE RECHARGED WITH A CURRENT LOAD EQUAL TO 1/10

OF THE BATTERY RATED CAPACITY AND FOR A PERIOD NOT LONGER THAN 8 HOURS. TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO SERVICE CENTRE FOR THIS OPERATION. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE LEADS ARE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.

3 Maintenance

03_49

Front and rear disc brake (03_49)

The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly due to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be taken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.

CAUTION

BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE. CAUTION

HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE CHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAKING SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKING SYSTEM CHECKED BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE OR DEALER. AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER UNTIL YOU HAVE OPERATED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE PLUNGERS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE CORRECT POSITION.

CAUTION

THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THE ROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE BRAKE PADS. WHEN RIDING THE VEHICLE ON ROADS WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED CHARACTERISTICS, WE RECOMMEND TO CLEAN THE BRAKE DISC FREQUENTLY WITH A NON-AGGRESSIVE DETERGENT IN ORDER TO AVOID THE FORMA-

TION OF ABRASIVE BUILD-UPS IN THE HOLES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN EARLY WEAR OF BRAKE PADS.

03_50

Puncture (03_50)

The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of a puncture, Tubeless tyres - unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, an emergency repair can be carried out using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair, take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a tyre involves re- moving the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre

or Dealer for these operations. CAUTION

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY CAN PROPERLY, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING.

WARNING

THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLY BALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS.

3 Maintenance

03_51

Periods of inactivity (03_51)

The following operations are recommended:

1. Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;

2. With the engine off and the piston at the bottom dead centre position, remove the

spark plug, and pour 1 ÷ 2 cm³ of the recommended oil through its hole. Operate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly, then insert the spark plug again;

3. Ensure that the fuel tank is at least half full (so that the fuel pump is fully covered); spread antirust grease on the uncoated metal parts; keep the wheels lifted

above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;

4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the «Battery» section.

Cleaning the vehicle

Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the painted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body sponge soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water). Then rinse with abundant water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the engine exterior, use petrol, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Remember that any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.

CAUTION

THE VEHICLE COMPARTMENTS ARE NOT WATERTIGHT.

CAUTION

DETERGENTS CAN POLLUTE WATER. THE VEHICLE MUST BE WASHED AT A WASH STATION EQUIPPED WITH A SPECIAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE A HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JET MACHINE TO CLEAN THE ENGINE AND/OR VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IF NO OTHER MEANS ARE AVAILABLE, IT IS THEN NECESSARY TO:

• ONLY USE A FANLIKE SPRAY JET.

• DO NOT PLACE THE NOZZLE CLOSER THAN 60 CM.

• DO NOT USE WATER AT TEMPERATURES OVER 40ºC.

• DO NOT USE HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JETS.

• DO NOT STEAM WASH.

• DO NOT AIM THE JET AT: THE ENGINE, THE ELECTRIC CABLES. CAUTION

NEVER WASH THE SCOOTER IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN SUMMER WHEN THE BODYWORK IS STILL HOT AS THE SHAMPOO COULD DAMAGE THE PAINTWORK IF IT DRIES BEFORE BEING RINSED OFF. NEVER USE CLOTHS SOAKED IN ALCOHOL, PETROL, DIESEL OIL OR KEROSENE FOR CLEANING THE PAINTED OR PLASTIC SURFACES, IN ORDER NOT TO DAMAGE THE LUSTRE FINISH OR ALTER THEIR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. USING SILICONE-BASED WAX CAN DAMAGE THE PAINTED SURFACES, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE COLOUR (SATIN COLOURS). FOR FURTHER
