Pegaso 650
Pay the utmost attention to any
obstacle or variation of the
ground. Uneven roads, rails,
manhole covers, indications painted on
the road surface, building site metal
plates become rather slippery by rain.
For this reason all these obstacles have
to be carefully avoided, driving smooth-
ly and bending the vehicle as little as
possible. Always use the turn indicators
in time when you intend to change lane
or direction, avoiding sharp and dan-
gerous movements.
Switch off the direction indicators as
soon as you have changed direction.
Be extremely careful when you overtake
other vehicles or are overtaken.
In case of rain, the water cloud created
by big vehicles reduces visibility; the
air shift may make you lose control of
the vehicle.

The running-in of the engine is important to
ensure its correct functioning.
If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or
roads with many bends, so that the engine,
the suspensions and the brakes undergo a
more effective running-in.
Keep to the following indications:
U
Do not open the throttle completely if the
speed is low, both during and after the
running-in.
Remember:
1 miles = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
U
During the first 100 km put on the brakes
with caution, avoiding sharp and pro-
longed brakings. This ensures a correct
bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc.
U
During the first 500 km, never exceed
4000 rpm.
U
Between the first 500 and 1000 km, nev-
er exceed 5000 rpm.
After the first 1000 km, carry out
the checking operations indicat-
ed in the column "After running-
in" of the REGULAR SERVICE INTER-
VALS CHART, see p. 36 (REGULAR
SERVICE INTERVALS CHART), in order
to avoid hurting yourself or other peo-
ple and/or damaging the vehicle.
U
Between the first 1000 and 2000 km
drive more briskly, change speed and
use the maximum acceleration only for a
few seconds, in order to ensure better
coupling of the components; never ex-
ceed 5500 rpm.
U
After the first 2000 km you can expect
better performance from the engine,
however, without exceeding the max rpm
(6250 rpm).

abruptly, slowing down suddenly
and braking at the last moment.
U
Release the throttle grip, gradually put
on the brakes and at the same time shift
down in order to decrease the speed,
see p. 32 (DEPARTURE AND DRIVE).
Once the speed has decreased, before
stopping the vehicle:
U
Pull the clutch lever in order to prevent
the stopping of the engine.
When the vehicle has come to rest:
U
Position the shifting lever in neutral
(green warning light "

While the vehicle is at rest, keep at least
one brake on.

Park the vehicle on firm and flat
ground, to prevent it from falling

danger for persons and children. Do not
leave the vehicle unattended when the
engine is on or the key is inserted into
the ignition switch.
Do not sit on the vehicle when the stand
