Avoid parking the vehicle catalytic versionnear dry brush wood or in places easily ac-cessible to children, as the catalytic silencer

becomes extremely hot during use; be very carefuland avoid any kind of contact before it has com-pletely cooled down.

The catalytic Amico 50 is fitted with a silencer with metal

catalytic converter of the "platinum-rhodium bivalent"type. This device provides for the oxidation of the CO(carbon monoxide) and of the HC (unburned hydrocar-bons) contained in the exhaust gases, changing theminto carbon dioxide and steam, respectively.Due to the catalytic reaction, the high temperaturereached by the exhaust gases makes for the burning of

the oil particles, thus keeping the silencer clean andeliminating the exhaust fumes.

To have the catalytic converter function correctly and forlong and to reduce possible problems regarding the soil-ing of the thermal unit and of the exhaust, it is necessaryto avoid covering long distances with the engine running

at constantly low rpm.It is sufficient to alternate these periods with periods inwhich the engine runs at relatively high rpm, even if onlyfor a few seconds, but rather frequently.What has been stated above assumes particular impor-tance for the cold starting of the engine: in this case, inorder to reach a rpm regime sufficient to enable the"priming" of the catalytic reaction, just make sure that thetemperature of the thermal unit has reached at least50C, which generally occurs a few seconds after start-ing the engine.

Do not use leaded petrol, since it causes the

destruction of the catalytic converter.

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,which is extremely noxious if inhaled.Avoid starting the vehicle in closed or badly-

ventilated rooms.The non-observance of this warning may cause lossof consciousness or even lead to death by asphyxia.

Do not get on the vehicle for the starting.

Electric starting Position the vehicle on the stand. Lock at least one wheel, by pulling a brake lever (Fig.

7). If this operation is not carried out, the start relay re-

ceives no current and therefore the engine does notstart.

Turn the ignition switch (Fig. 8) to position "".


10/32

Press the start push button (1-Fig. 9) without accel-erating, then release it as soon as the engine starts.

Avoid pressing the start push button ""

(3) when the engine is running: this maydamage the starter.When the start push button "" is pressed, the 2stroke oil reserve warning light "" comes on.With the engine in running condition, when the startpush button "" is released, the 2 stroke oil reservewarning light "" must go out; if this does not oc-

cur, top up the 2 stroke oil tank.

If the starting is carried out with cold engine, rotate thecold start lever "" (1-Fig. 10) downwards.

Do not accelerate and pull the brake levers at thesame time until you move off.

Warm the engine up before leaving. Once the engine has warmed up, rotate the cold start

lever "" (1-Fig. 10) upwards.


11/32

For the kick start, proceed as follows: Position the vehicle on the centre stand. Move to the left side of the vehicle. To avoid losing control of the vehicle during the start-

ing, lock both wheels by putting on the brake levers(Fig. 7).

Turn the ignition switch (Fig. 8) to position "".

Do not push down the kick starter with theengine on.

Push down the kick starter with your right foot, releas-ing it immediately.If necessary, repeat the operation until the enginestarts.

After a long period of inactivity, proceed as follows: Move the ignition switch (Fig. 8) to position "". Make the starter run for about 10 seconds, in order to

ensure the filling up of the float chamber.

To start the engine: Rotate the cold start lever "" (1-Fig. 10) downwards. Slightly open the throttle, then carry out the electric

starting procedure (or KICK START).


12/32

12

Release the throttle grip (Pos. A - Fig. 11), put on therear 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.

Properly adjust the inclination of the rear-view mirrors.

To leave, release the brake lever and accelerate by gen-

tly rotating the throttle grip (Pos. B - Fig. 11); the vehiclewill start moving.

Avoid opening and closing the throttle griprepeatedly and continuously, so that you donot accidentally lose control of the vehicle.

If you have to brake, close the throttle and put onboth brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration,properly exerting pressure on the braking parts.

By putting on the front brake only or the rear brakeonly, you reduce the braking force considerably,

thus running the risk of locking one wheel and con-sequently losing grip.

Before beginning to turn, slow down or brake driv-ing at moderate and constant speed or acceleratingslightly; avoid braking at the last moment: it wouldbe very easy to skid.


13/32

13

If the brakes are operated continuously ondownhill stretches, the friction surfaces canoverheat, thus reducing the braking efficien-

cy. Never drive with the engine off!

In case of wet ground or scarce wheel grip (snow,ice, mud, etc.), drive slowly, avoiding sudden brak-ings or manoeuvres that could make you lose gripand fall down.

Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle or variation

of the ground.

Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indicationspainted on the road surface, building site metalplates become rather slippery by rain. For this rea-son all these obstacles have to be carefully avoided,driving smoothly and bending the vehicle as little as

possible.

Always use the turn indicators timely when you in-tend to change lane or direction, avoiding sharp anddangerous movements.

After the first 500 kilometres, carry out thechecking operations indicated in the column

"After running-in" of the PERIODIC MAINTE-NANCE CHART, see p. 26, in order to avoid hurtingyourself or other people and/or damaging the vehi-cle.

The running-in of the engine is primary to ensure its cor-rect functioning and its correct functioning.

If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with manybends, so that the engine, the suspensions and thebrakes undergo a more effective running-in.

For the first 500 km, keep to the following indications:

0-300 kmDo not keep the throttle grip open more than one half forlong stretches.

300-500 kmDo not keep the throttle grip open more than three-fourths for long stretches.



14/32

14

Release the throttle grip and stop the vehicle byputting on the brakes.

Move the ignition switch to position "".

It is not necessary to close the fuel tap whenthe engine is off, since it is equipped with an

automatic closing system.

Park the vehicle on firm and flat ground, toprevent it from falling down.Neither lean the vehicle against walls, nor

lay it on the ground.Make sure that the vehicle and especially its red-hotparts do not represent a danger for persons andchildren.Do not leave the vehicle unattended when the en-gine is on or the key is inserted into the ignitionswitch.Do not sit on the vehicle when the stand is down.

Seize the vehicle using the rear grab rail and at thesame time push the stand lever downwards (see figure).

Make sure that the vehicle is resting firmly.

This vehicle is provided with front hydraulic disc brake.When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid de-creases to automatically compensate for their wear.Periodically check the brake fluid level in the tank andthe wear of the pads, see p. 18 (CHECKING THE PADWEAR).

The brakes are the parts that most ensureyour safety and for this reason they must al-ways be perfectly working.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKE Measure the distance covered by the lever (9-Fig. 3)

before the brake starts it braking action.The idle stroke at the end of the brake lever must beabout 5 10 mm.

Adjust the clearance by acting on the adjuster(1-Fig. 15).

Put on the brake (9-Fig. 3) repeatedly and make surethat the wheel turns freely after the brake has been re-leased.

Check the braking efficiency.

For any doubt regarding the perfect func-

tioning of the braking system and in caseyou are not able to carry out the usualchecking operations, contact your OfficialDealer.

Check the wear of the rear brake shoes after the first500 km and successively every 4000 km.


To check the wear of the rear brake shoes, proceed asfollows:

Remove the rear wheel, see p. 17 (REMOVING THEREAR WHEEL).

To check the thickness of the friction material, which

must never be less than 1 mm (Fig. 19).

If the minimum allowed limit has beenreached, if you notice any irregularity in theoperation or if any part is damaged, contact

your Official Dealer, who will provide for

changing the brake shoes.

Check the brake pad wear after the first 500 km and suc-cessively every 2000 km.


The wear of the brake pads depends on the use, on thekind of drive and on the road. The wear will be greaterwhen the vehicle is driven on dirty or wet roads.

To carry out a rapid checking of the wear of the frontpads, proceed as follows: Position the vehicle on the centre stand. Remove the brake caliper cover. Carry out a visual checking of the friction material

thickness by looking between the brake caliper and

the pads.

If the thickness of the friction material (even of one padonly) has reduced to about 1 mm, replace both pads.

Have the pads changed by your Offi-cial Dealer.


19/32

Grease the rear brake cam pin every 4000

km. If the vehicle is used on dusty roads,this operation must be carried out more frequently.


Disassemble the rear wheel, see p. 17 (REMOVING

THE REAR WHEEL (Fig. 18)). Unscrew and remove the adjuster (1-Fig. 15).

Do not dirt the shoes and the friction materi-al with grease, to avoid compromising thebraking efficiency of the vehicle.

This operation may be difficult because thesprings resist considerably to the removalof the shoes. Be careful not to crush or

bruise your hands and fingers.

Grasp the inner edge of the two friction elements (1)at its centre and, pulling toward yourself, shake the

two shoes, thus releasing them. Loosen the nut (2) and remove the pin lever (3). Withdraw the cam pin (4).

Moderately grease only the central part ofthe pin.Avoid dirting the cam or the areas around

the pin seat with grease.

Grease the central part of the pin by using grease forkinematic motions, see p. 27 (LUBRICANT CHART).

Upon reassembly:

Neither strike, nor force the cam pin (4) withhammers or others tools, in order not todamage the two O-rings.

Manually insert the cam pin (4), rotating and pushing itslightly.

Make sure that the springs are correctlycoupled.

Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km

1 km = 0.625 miles

Check the conditions of the air cleaner and clean itmonthly or every 4000 km, depending on the conditionsin which the vehicle is used.If the vehicle is used on dusty or wet roads, the cleaningoperations and any replacement should be carried out

more frequently. Position the vehicle on the stand. To remove the left side panel of the vehicle. Unscrew the four screws. Remove the filter case cover and extract the filtering

element. To clean the filtering element use clean, non-inflam-

mable solvents or solvents with high volatility point,then let it dry thoroughly.

Apply a filter oil or a thick oil (SAE 80W-90) on thewhole surface of the filtering element, then squeeze itto eliminate the oil in excess.

The filter must be well impregnated, though

not dripping.

Periodically remove the spark plug and clean it carefully,removing carbon deposits; change it if necessary.

To remove and clean the spark plug: Remove the engine compartment cover. Take off the spark plug cap. Remove all the dirt from the base of the spark plug,

then unscrew it with the spanner you will find in thetool kit and extract it from its seat, taking care that nei-ther dust nor other substances enter the cylinder.

Make sure that there are neither carbon deposits, norcorrosion marks on the electrode and on the centralporcelain part; if necessary, clean them with the spe-cial cleaners for spark plugs, with an iron wire and/ ora metal brush.

Energetically blow some air, in order to prevent the re-

moved residues from getting into the engine.If the spark plug has crackings on the insulating mate-rial, corroded electrodes or excessive deposits, itmust be changed.


21/32

21

Check the spark plug gap with a thickness gauge.The gap must be 0,5 0,6 mm; if necessary adjust it,carefully bending the earth electrode.

Make sure that the washer is in good conditions.

With the washer on, screw the spark plug by hand inorder not to damage the thread. Tighten the spark plug by means of the spanner you

will find in the tool kit, giving it half a turn to compressthe washer.

Position the spark plug cap. Put back the engine compartment cover.

The spark plug must be well tightened,otherwise the engine may overheat andbe seriously damaged.

Change the spark plug every 8000 km.

Use the recommended type of spark plug only,see p. 3 (TECHNICAL DATA), in order not tocompromise the life and performance of theengine.


22/32

Check the electrolyte level and the tightening of the ter-minals after the first 500 km and successively every4000 km or 8 months.

The electrolyte in the battery is toxic andcaustic and if it gets in contact with the skin

it can cause burns, since it contains sulphu-ric acid.Wear protection clothes, a face mask and/or gogglesduring maintenance operations.

In case of contact with the skin, rinse with plenty ofwater.

In case of contact with the eyes, rinse with plenty ofwater for 15 minutes, then consult an oculist withoutdelay.

If the electrolyte is accidentally swallowed, drink alot of water or milk, then continue drinking milk ofmagnesia or vegetable oil and consult a doctor with-

out delay.

The battery gives off explosive gases; keep it awayfrom flames, sparks, cigarettes and any othersource of heat.

During the recharging or the use, make sure that theroom is properly ventilated and avoid inhaling thegases released during the recharging.


23/32

23

Never invert the connection of the batterycables.Do not incline the vehicle too much, in order

to avoid dangerous leaks of the battery fluid.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN

Connect and disconnect the battery with theignition switch in position .Connect first the positive cable (+) and then

the negative cable ().

Disconnect following the reverse order.

To check the battery (1), remove the engine compart-ment cover.Make sure that the fluid level is included between thetwo "MIN" and "MAX" notches stamped on the batteryside.

If necessary, top up by adding distilled water.To recharge, disconnect the cables, extract the batteryfrom its container and remove the element plugs.A recharge with an amperage equal to 1/10th of the bat-tery capacity is recommended.After the recharging operation, check the electrolyte lev-el again and if necessary top up with distilled water.Tighten the element plugs.

Always connect the battery breather pipe, toprevent the sulphuric acid vapours fromcorroding the electric system, painted parts,

rubber elements or gaskets when they exit the

breather pipe itself.

If the vehicle remains unused for a long period, removethe battery and place it in a cool and dry place.Recharge it completely, by using a trickle charge.

If the battery remains on the vehicle, disconnect the ca-bles from the terminals.It is important to check the charge periodically (aboutonce a month), during the winter or when the vehicle re-mains unused, in order to prevent the deterioration of thebattery.

Do not repair faulty fuses.Never use fuses different from the recom-

mended ones.The use of unsuitable fuses may cause damages tothe electric system or, in case of short circuit, even afire.

If an electric component fails to work, the fuse must bechecked (2).

In this case it must be changed with another with thesame amp value.If the fuse cuts out again there is probably a short circuitin the electric system and it is advisable to consult anapriliaOfficial dealer.

The headlamp beam may be adjusted by turning thescrew provided with a screwdriver (1).


25/32
