CAUTION
Do not run with the engine off for a long time, or tow the machine
during long routes. Even in the neutral position, the gearbox lubrication
is only activated when the engine is on. Inadequate lubrication may
lead to breakdown.
STARTING THE VEHICLE
1.- Activate the throttle.
CAUTION
Release the throttle to change gear, otherwise the engine and
transmission may be damaged.
2.- As we have already explained, the clutch must be activated to
insert the first gear from neutral, then the change pedal must be
pressed and the clutch must be released slowly as the throttle is
gradually increased.
3.- Once the desired speed has been achieved, release the throttle
and, at the same time, activate the clutch lever quickly.
4.- Change into second gear (be careful not to insert neutral).
5.- Activate the throttle partially and release the clutch lever gradually.
6.- Follow the same procedure to change into higher gears.
WARNING
Too brisk acceleration or releasing the clutch lever too quickly may
result in an accident and may cause the vehicle to slide and tumble.
The throttle must be gradually turned and the clutch must be smoothly
released.
To slow down
To slow down or stop, release the throttle and apply the brakes
smoothly and uniformly. As the vehicle slows down, change into a
shorter gear. Before changing into a shorter gear, wait for the engine
revs to fall to the adequate level. An incorrect use of the brakes or
the change may cause the tyres to lose traction, with the subsequent
loss of control and risk of accident.
WARNING
Make sure the engine’s revs are low enough to change into a lower
gear. If the revs are too high when changing into a shorter gear, the
wheels might stop turning. This might lead to loss of control, with
risk of accident and injuries. It can also damage the engine and
transmission.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1.- Change into neutral.
2.- Push the stopping button (A).
