Startinguptheengine (02_05)
The vehicle is supplied with an ignition cut-off system, activated by the emergency
cut-off switch. The engine may not be started if the cut-off switch is in the OFF position.
If the engine is running, it will shut-down as the emergency cut-off switch is flicked on
the OFF position. The vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission and clutch. For
this reason, the throttle must be completely untwisted while the engine is being started;
to start-off from still, progressively twist the throttle grip. The vehicle is fitted a vacuum
fuel pump and a choke device, which are automatically set-off as the engine is started.
In order to start the engine, it is necessary to pull either the front, «
D », or the rear
brake lever, « G », while pressing the starting button, « B », so to disengage the safety
switches.
1. Rest the vehicle on its centre-stand, ensuring the rear wheel is not touching the
ground.
2. Maintain the throttle, « C », completely untwisted.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch, « A », and turn it onto the ON position.
4. Ensure the ignition key-switch, « I », is now on the ON position.
