Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge
are 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 itself.
1. Before riding off, remember to put on the helmet and fasten it correctly.
2. Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.
3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be
poor at the beginning. In these conditions, it is a good idea to apply the brakes from
time to time.
4. Do not brake hard on wet, unsurfaced or slippery roads.
5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when it is resting on its support. In any
case, in order to avoid abrupt departures, the rear wheel should not be turning when
in comes into contact with the ground.
6. If you use the scooter on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.,
we recommend that you clean the brake disc frequently with a non-aggressive deter-
gent in order to avoid the formation of abrasive build-ups in the holes, which could
result in early wear of the brake pads.
CAUTION
ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-
COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICINES IS EXTREMELY DAN-
GEROUS.
IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTER
ADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. THE ADDITION OF
ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE YOUR SCOOTER STABILITY
AND PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE LEVEL OF SAFETY DURING USE.
