Q
SAFETY INFORMATION
1
c. Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are not recommended.
2. Use caution when adding electrical accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of
the scooter’s electrical system an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous
loss of lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
1. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE:
a. Always turn the engine off when refueling.
b. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling.
c. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame.
2. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are
poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate
your scooter in an area that has adequate ventilation.
3. Always turn the engine off before leaving the scooter unattended and remove the key from the
main switch. When parking the scooter, note the following:
a. The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the scooter in a place where
pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.
b. Do not park the scooter on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over.
c. Do not park the scooter near a flammable source (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch fire.
4. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately
wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes.
