CHECKS TO PERFORM BEFORE USE
The user must personally ensure that his vehicle is in good
condition. Certain safety elements may show signs of
damage even when the vehicle is not used. e.g. prologned
exposure to bad weather can lead to oxidation in the
braking system or a pressure drop in the tyres which can
have serious consequences. In addition to a simple visual
inspection, it is extremely important to check the following
points before use.
These checks only take a few minutes and help
to keep your vehicle in good condition, for
optimum use combining reliability and safety.
If one if the elements in the checklist does not
work properly, ask your registered dealer to check it and
have it repaired if necessary before using the vehicle.
INSPECTION BEFORE SETTING OFF
• Check the fuel level.
• Check the level of the engine oil.
• Check the coolant level.
• Check operation of the lights, flashers, horn, and brake
light.
• Check the tyre wear and condition.
• Check the tyre pressure.
• Check that the throttle is working properly.
• Check that the central and side stands can be unfolded
smoothly.
• Check that the rear-view mirrors are in the correct position.
• Check that the brake levers are working and moving
properly.
If a brake lever feels soft when you actuate it,
you must have it immediately checked by an
authorised dealer.
ADVICE FOR STARTING UP AND DRIVING
WARNING
Before using the vehicle for the first time, make sure you are
familiar with all the controls and their respective uses. If you
are not sure about the functions of any of the controls, your
registered dealer can answer your questions and give you
any help you may require.
As exhaust fumes are toxic, the engine must be started in a
well-ventilated area. It must never be allowed to run in a
closed space, even for a short time.
STARTING THE ENGINE
For greater safety, place the vehicle on its central stand
before starting the engine.
• The driver must carry the Smart-Key key on his/her
person.
• Turn the rotating knob to "ON".
• Ensure that the emergency stop button is in the
position.
• Wait for the end of the instrument panel self-test.
• Ensure that the throttle is in the OFF position.
• Press one of the brake levers while pressing the starter
button
. Do not press the starter for more than
10 seconds.
• Release the starter button as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, release the starter
button and the brake lever, wait a few seconds
and try again.
DRIVING
Starting off
The vehicle is on its stand with the engine running.
• Hold the handlebar with the left hand and the grab handle
with the right hand and push the vehicle forwards to fold
the central stand.
• Sit on the vehicle.
• Release the electric parking brake if necessary.
• To start the vehicle, gradually twist the throttle with your
right hand.
Accelerating and decelerating
To accelerate, turn the throttle towards (A). To slow down,
turn the throttle towards (B).
Braking
This vehicle is fitted with an integral braking system.
This system is controlled by the left hand or right foot and
facilitates use of the vehicle by acting on the front and rear
brakes simultaneously.
The right brake is a secondary service brake which only acts
on the front brake and supplements the integral braking
system in case of emergency.
• Close the throttle.
• Operate the integral brake by progressively increasing the
pressure.
Avoid braking suddenly on wet roads or in
bends.
Reduce speed on steep slopes to avoid
prolonged braking, as overheating will reduce
braking efficiency.
