CHECKLIST
It is the owner's sole responsibility to keep the vehicle in optimum condition. The driver must check the vehicle
through simple but thorough inspections to ensure optimum vehicle condition. Before each journey, some
important parts must be inspected quickly to avoid serious vehicle malfunctions that could lead to serious
accidents.
NOTE
A short inspection should be carried out before each ride. This only takes a short moment and is for your
own safety.
WARNING
If any component of the vehicle is found to be faulty during inspection, have the vehicle repaired by an
authorised dealer. In the event of negligence on the part of the vehicle owner, such as lack of care and
maintenance, operation of the vehicle with defective or improperly maintained parts, the manufacturer will
not accept any warranty.
