Front disc brake (03_20)
The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect
on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to
adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence
of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly due
to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be
taken to a
PIAGGIO Dealer or Authorised Service Centre.
CAUTION
BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.
CAUTION
HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE
CHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER,
IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAK-

SYSTEM CHECKED BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE OR DEALER. AF-
TER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER UNTIL YOU
HAVE OPERATED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW
THE PLUNGERS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE
CORRECT POSITION.
CAUTION
THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THE
ROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE BRAKE PADS. WHEN

TERISTICS, WE RECOMMEND TO CLEAN THE BRAKE DISC FREQUENTLY
WITH A NON-AGGRESSIVE DETERGENT IN ORDER TO AVOID THE FORMA-
