PIAGGIO Ape TM, Instructions Manual

Page: 133 / 160

All operations requiring the load bed to be lifted, for whatever reason, must only be
carried out after the safety prop has been carefully positioned underneath the load
bed. The safety prop prevents the load bed from dropping. It does not offer the same
safety guarantee when the load bed is loaded. For other maintenance operations or
repairs, which require intervention on elements of the upper structure when the load
bed is lifted (e.g. fixing of lifting jack and accessory components, pins and hinges
replacement), it is mandatory to refer to an authorised workshop equipped with all
necessary tools and safety equipment.
Information regarding maintenance is given in the instructions.
