Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing
methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol
can be used if the ethanol content does
not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol containing
methanol is not recommended by Benelli
because it can cause damage to the fuel
system or vehicle performance problems.
Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after opera-
tion.
To prevent a fire hazard or burns:
• Do not park the vehicle near pos-
sible fire hazards such as grass or
other materials that easily burn.
• Park the vehicle in a place where
pedestrians or children are not
likely to touch the hot exhaust sy-
stem.
• Make sure that the exhaust system
has cooled down before doing any
maintenance work.
• Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of heat.
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of
leaded gasoline will cause unrepairable
damage to the catalytic converter.
Seat
To remove the seat
1. Insert the key and turn it clockwise to
raise the rider seat.
