friction of the clutch parts on the clutch bell. It is therefore recommended to avoid
conditions of prolonged clutch slippage leading to clutch overheating (for example, as
well as the situation described above, riding uphill fully laden on steep slopes or start-
ing off on slopes greater than 25%, etc.):
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the motor at idling speed for a few minutes.
Safe driving
WARNING
SOME SIMPLE TIPS ARE PROVIDED BELOW THAT WILL ENABLE YOU TO USE
YOUR SCOOTER ON A DAILY BASIS IN GREATER SAFETY AND WITH MORE
PEACE OF MIND.
<
Your ability and your knowledge of the vehicle form the basis of safe riding. We rec-
ommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones to get to know your vehicle
completely.
ALWAYS DRIVE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS
1 . Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.
2 . Reduce speed and ride cautiously on uneven roads.
3 . Remember that after riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes,
the braking effect is initially lower. Given these conditions, it is a good idea to operate
the brakes from time to time.
4 . Do not brake hard on a wet surface, on dirt tracks or on any slippery road surface.
5. If you have to brake, use both brakes in order to divide the braking action between
both wheels.
