MAINTENANCE
Before beginning any mainte-
nance operation or any inspec-
tion of the vehicle, stop the en-
gine, extract the key from the ignition
block, wait until the engine and the ex-
haust system have cooled down and if
possible lift the vehicle by means of the
proper equipment, on firm and flat
ground.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the
engine and of the exhaust system, in or-
der to avoid burns.
The vehicle is made up of not edible
parts. Never bite, suck, chew or swallow
any part of the vehicle for any reason.
If not expressly indicated other-
wise, for the reassembly of the
units repeat the disassembly op-
erations in reverse order.
Ordinary maintenance operations can usu-
ally be carried out by the user, but some-
times a basic knowledge of mechanics and
specific tools are required. If you need as-
sistance or technical advice, consult your
aprilia
Official Dealer, who can ensure you
prompt and accurate servicing.
After any maintenance operation, carry out
the "Preliminary checking operations", see
p. 31 (PRELIMINARY CHECKING OPER-
ATIONS).
