With your foot push the projection of the centre stand «F » while lifting the vehiclebackwards, holding onto the side handles.

SIDE

Push the projection of the stand «L» with your foot; maintain the stand fully extractedwhile simultaneously leaning the scooter onto it.

CAUTION

THE SIDE STAND HAS A SAFETY MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS IT TO RETRACTAS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT BACK TO A VERTICAL POSITION.

Automatic transmission

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the

36

2 U

se

best performance (acceleration and consumption) while riding on both flat roads anduphill.

If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the braketo keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using theengine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to thefriction of the clutch mechanism itself against the clutch bell.

It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (otherthan those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or startingoff with driver and passenger at slopes with steepness greater than 25%.

Observe 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.

Safe driving

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a dailybasis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledgeare the basis of safe riding. 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 on your helmet and fasten it correctly.

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

3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can bepoor at the beginning. Given these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakesfrom time to time.

4. Do not brake hard on wet, dirt or slippery road surfaces.

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

6. When riding along roads covered by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. werecommend cleaning the brake disc frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in order

to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause earlybrake pad wear.

CAUTION

ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS IS EXTREMELY DAN-GEROUS.

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTERADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. ADDING ACCES-SORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE THE VEHICLE'S STABILITY, PERFORM-ANCE AND SAFETY DURING USE.

WARNING

NEVER RIDE THE SCOOTER EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORIES (TOP BOX AND/OR WINDSHIELD) AT A SPEED HIGHER THAN 100 km/h.

THE SCOOTER CAN BE RIDDEN AT A HIGHER SPEED WITHOUT THE ACCES-SORIES MENTIONED BEFORE WITHIN THE LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY LAW.

Engine oil level

In 4T engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, main bearingsand thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage tothe engine itself. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance andconsumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect theconditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumptionincreases). The replacement frequencies provided for by the maintenance programmeare defined, depending on the total contents of oil in the engine and average con-sumption measured following standardised methods. In order to prevent any prob-lems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in theScheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The vehicleis, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument pan-el.

Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)

Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when theengine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level shouldbe somewhere between the MAX and MIN reference marks on the dipstick «A»; duringthe oil check, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even, horizontalsurface.

If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hotengine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.

Engine oil top-up

Always check oil level before topping-up and add oil without exceeding the MAXlevel. Getting an oil level between the MIN and MAX levels requires ~ 200 cm³ of oil.Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre to have the engine oil checkedand if necessary, topped-up as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table.

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned tothe «ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. Ifthe light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is

42

3 M

aint

enan

ce

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 whileturning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-ice Centre.

Engine oil change (03_03)

Have oil changed and the cartridge filter «C» replaced as indicated in the scheduledmaintenance table at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptiedby draining the oil from the drainage plug «B » of the gauze filter on the flywheel side.In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantityof oil still remains in the circuit, filling must be done with approx. 950 ÷ 1000 cm³ of oilthrough the cap «A. Then start up the engine, leave it running for a few minutes andshut it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary, top-up without ex-ceeding the MAX. level. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change.For top-ups and changes, use new oil of the recommended type.

WARNING

RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVINGPARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.

WARNING

EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION ANDVEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.

Cooling fluid level (03_11, 03_12, 03_13, 03_14)

The engine cooling system operates by forcing circulation of fluid. The cooling circuitcontains about 2 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% de-ionised water andglycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors. Recommendedcoolant: supplied with the vehicle, already mixed and ready for use. For proper func-tioning of the engine, the coolant temperature must be between the 4th and 7th litsegment, as indicated by the instrument «D» on the digital instrument panel. Whenthe 9th segment lights up, the icon and all the segments start flashing; stop the engine,let it cool down and check the fluid level; if the level is OK, contact an AuthorisedService Centre.

Check coolant when the engine is cold as indicated in the scheduled maintenancetable.

a) Rest the vehicle in vertical position on the stand and remove the screw of the ex-pansion tank cap shown in the photo

b) Remove the expansion tank cover "A", turning in anticlockwise direction.

c) Look inside the expansion tank; the fluid level must always be between the min andthe max level

d) If the coolant level is near the minimum mark, top up when the engine is cold.

If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if the expansion tank is completelydry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore essential tohave the cooling system checked at an Authorised Service Centre. Replace coolantas indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Take your vehicle to an AuthorisedService Centre for this operation.

Long periods of inactivity (03_20)

Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is theresult of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging plus residual absorption byvehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance mayalso be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness of the poles. In order toavoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow any of thesesteps:

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

Front and rear disc brake

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

CAUTION

THE BRAKING ACTION SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKELEVER STROKE.

CAUTION

HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THECHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER,IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAKESYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYS-TEM CHECKED BY A PIAGGIO DEALER OR AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER UNTILYOU HAVE OPERATED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TOALLOW THE PLUNGERS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TOTHE CORRECT POSITION.

ORDER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FRE-QUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.

Puncture

The vehicle is equipped with tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of apuncture, contrary to the situation with a tyre with inner tube, the tyre deflates moreslowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, it is admissibleto make an emergency repair using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair,take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of atyre involves removing the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to an AuthorisedService Centre or Dealer for these operations.

CAUTION

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY PROPERLY FOLLOW THE IN-STRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING.

Cleaning the vehicle

In order to soften the dirt and mud deposited on the painted surfaces, use a low pres-sure jet of water. Once softened, mud and dirt must be removed with a soft spongefor bodywork soaked in lots of water and "shampoo" (2-4% of car shampoo in water).Then rinse abundantly with water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the outside of theengine, use petroleum, a brush and clean cloths. Petroleum can damage paintwork.Remember that any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing
