Automatic transmission
To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to give the bestpossible performance in terms of both acceleration and consumption, on level groundand uphill, thanks to the adjustments made to engine speed and transmitted torque.If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) only use the braketo keep the vehicle still, leaving the motor running at idling speed. Using the motor tokeep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat. This problem is due to thefriction of the clutch parts on the clutch bell. It is therefore recommended to avoidconditions of prolonged clutch slippage leading to clutch overheating (for example, aswell as the situation described above, riding uphill fully laden on steep slopes or start-ing off on slopes greater than 25%, etc.):
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the motor at idling speed for a few minutes

Safe driving (02_08)
WARNING
SOME SIMPLE TIPS ARE PROVIDED BELOW WHICH WILL ENABLE YOU TOUSE YOUR VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS MORE EASILY AND SAFELY.<
02_08
Your ability and your knowledge of the vehicle form the basis of safe riding. We rec-ommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones to get to know your vehiclecompletely.ALWAYS DRIVE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS
1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.
2. Reduce speed and ride cautiously on uneven roads.
3. Remember that after riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes,the braking effect is initially lower. Under these conditions, it is a good idea to operatethe brakes from time to time.
4. Do not brake hard on a wet surface, on dirt tracks or on any slippery road surface.
5. If you have to brake, use both brakes in order to divide the braking action betweenboth wheels.
6. Avoid starting off by mounting the vehicle while it is still resting on its stand. In anycase, the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground,in order to avoid abrupt departures.
7. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.,clean the brake disc frequently with mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive sub-stances from building up within the holes, which can result in early wear of the brakepads.
25
2 Use
8. Any elaboration that modifies the vehicle's performances, such as tampering withoriginal structural parts is strictly forbidden by law, and renders the vehicle not con-forming to the approved type and therefor dangerous to ride.
CAUTION
RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR CERTAIN MEDI-CINES CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ONESELF AND FOR OTHERS.
CAUTION
ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCHAS TAMPERING WITH ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBID-DEN BY LAW, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TOTHE APPROVED TYPE AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.

Engine oil level (03_01, 03_02)
Four stroke engine oil is used in the engines in order to lubricate the timing bodies,the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can seri-ously damage the engine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oilperformance and certain consumption should be considered normal. Consumptioncan particularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' allthe time, oil consumption increases). The replacement intervals provided for by themaintenance programme are defined depending on the total content of oil in the en-gine and the average consumption measured following standardised methods. Inorder to prevent any problems, we recommend checking oil level more fre-quently than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting offon long journeys. The vehicle is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warn-ing light on the instrument panel.
03_03
Engine oil level check (03_03, 03_04, 03_05)
Every time the vehicle is used, a visual check should be made on the level of theengine oil when the engine is cold. The oil level should be somewhere between theMAX and MIN index marks on the level bar; the check must be made with the vehicleupright, resting on the centre stand.
If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hotengine, the level will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least 10minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_06, 03_07)
The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned to«ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If thelight comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is nec-essary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-upthe oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or whileturning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-ice Centre.
03_08
Engine oil change (03_08, 03_09)
Oil must be changed and filter replaced at an Authorised Service Centre (as indi-cated in the Scheduled Maintenance Table). The engine should be emptied bydraining the oil through drainage plug «B » of the mesh filter on the flywheel side. Inorder to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A». Since a certain quantity ofoil remains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out from the cap«A».
Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: afterabout five minutes check the level and if necessary top up without exceeding theMAX level.
The cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed. For top-ups andchanges use new oil of the recommended type.

03_18
Secondary air system (03_18)
In order to reduce polluting emissions, the vehicle is furnished with a catalytic con-verter in the muffler.
To favour the catalytic process, an extra amount of oxygen is added via a secondaryair system (SAS).
This system allows more oxygen to be added to the unburned gases before they reachthe converter, thus improving the action of the catalytic converter.
The air enters the exhaust duct from the head, and is purified by a black filter.
The system is fitted with a control valve that disables operation while decelerating toavoid unwanted noise.
35
3 Maintenance
To ensure the best functioning of the SAS system, every 12,000 km the scooter shouldbe taken to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre to have the filter cleaned (Sched-uled maintenance operations section).
The filter sponge should be cleaned with water and mild soap, then it should be driedwith a cloth and slight blows of compressed air.
CAUTION
CONTACT AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO SERVICE CENTRE TO CARRY OUTTHESE OPERATIONS.
03_19
Checking the brake oil level (03_19)
The brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a sight glass «A» made of transparent ma-terial; the quantity of liquid contained in the sight glass indicates the level of liquid inthe reservoir.
When the sight glass «A» is full, the level inside the reservoir exceeds the MIN level;when it is partially full, the level drops to the MIN level; when it is fully empty, the levelof fluid in the reservoir is below the MIN level.
The brake fluid level may fall due to wear on the brake pads. In case the pad wear isbelow the minimum mark, contact an Authorised Service Centre to have the brakingsystem thoroughly checked. If you need to top up the level, follow the steps listedbelow. Unscrew the 2 screws «B», remove the reservoir cap «C » and pour in therequired quantity of fluid (the brake fluid level must be above minimum). Place thehandlebar in the riding position and pay attention not to tilt the vehicle in order to keepthe brake fluid reservoir in horizontal position when checking the fluid level.

Long periods of inactivity
Battery performance will be poor if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is theresult of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging, and may be due to residualabsorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor batteryperformance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanliness of thepoles. In order to avoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, followany of these steps:
- At least once a month start the engine and run it slightly above idle speed for 10-15minutes. This keeps all the engine components, as well as the battery, in good workingorder.
- Take your vehicle to a garage (as indicated in the «Vehicle not used for extendedperiods» section) to have the battery removed. Have the battery cleaned, chargedfully and stored in a dry, ventilated place. Recharge at least once every twomonths.
N.B.
THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED WITH A CURRENT EQUAL TO 1/10 OF THERATED CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY AND FOR NOT LONGER THAN 10 HOURS.CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERA-TION SAFELY. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE LEADS ARECORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.

Idle adjustment (03_37, 03_38)
To adjust idle speed it is necessary to operate the idle set screw «A » located in thecarburettor. To do this,lift the saddle, remove the rubber cover «B» and use a Phillips screwdriver.
Adjust the idle speed with the rear wheel off the ground (vehicle on stand) and with awarm engine: undo or tighten the screw until the engine idles smoothly, i.e. withoutthe rear wheel being moved by the engine. If adjustment in these conditions is difficult,contact an Authorised Service Centre.
CAUTION
WHEN ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED, BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH HOT PARTS OFTHE ENGINE TO AVOID BURNS.

Front disc brake (03_39)
The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effecton the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary toadjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presenceof air in the braking circuit or an irregular brake operation. In this case, particularlyconsidering the importance of the brakes in terms of safety, it is strongly recommendedthat you take the vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible forthe appropriate checks.
WARNING
CHECK BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS (AS INDICATED INTHE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE TABLES). IF THE THICKNESS OF ONE ORBOTH PADS IS IN THE REGION OF 1.5 MM, BOTH PADS MUST BE CHANGED.IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERATION AT AN AUTHORISEDSERVICE CENTRE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
AFTER FITTING NEW BRAKE PADS DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOUHAVE ACTIVATED THE BRAKE LEVER REPEATEDLY TO POSITION THE PADSAND RESTORE THE LEVER STROKE TO ITS CORRECT POSITION.
CAUTION
BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.

Operate adjusting nut «B» and loosen lock nut «A» shown in the figure. Note thatwhen the throttle is in idle the wheel should rotate free. After the adjustment, screwlock nut «A».
CAUTION
BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.
03_41
Puncture (03_41)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres. When there is a puncture, Tubeless tyres- unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly. This offers greater riding safety. Atyre that goes flat very slowly can be repaired with an "Inflate and Repair" spray. Tyresshould be later fully repaired or replaced at an Authorised Service Centre.
Inactivity of the vehicle
We recommend carrying out the following operations:1. General cleaning of the vehicle.
2 - With the engine off and the piston at bottom dead centre position, remove the sparkplug and pour 1÷2 cc of motor oil through its hole. Operate the starter motor 3-4 timesletting the engine perform a few revolutions, then remount the spark plug.

Cleaning the vehicle
Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on thepainted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body spongesoaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water).Then rinse with abundant water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the engine exterior,use petrol, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Remember thatany polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.
WARNING
To avoid the appearance of oxidations, wash the vehicle every time it is used incertain areas or in special conditions of:
· Environmental / seasonal conditions: use of salt, de-icer chemical products onthe road in winter.
· Air pollution: city and/or industrial areas.
· Salinity and humidity of the atmosphere: marine areas, hot and wet weather.

WARNING
. Prevent deposits from remaining on the bodywork, industrial and pollutantresidual dust, tar spots, dead insects, bird droppings, etc.
· Do not park the vehicle under the trees. In some seasons, in fact, residues,resins, fruits or leaves may fall from the trees, containing chemicals that areharmful to the paintwork.
CAUTION
DETERGENTS POLLUTE WATER. THEREFORE THE VEHICLE SHOULD BEWASHED IN AN AREA EQUIPPED FOR THE COLLECTION AND PURIFICATIONOF THE LIQUIDS USED.
WARNING
NEVER WASH THE VEHICLE UNDER DIRECT SUNLIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN SUM-MER WHEN THE BODYWORK IS STILL HOT, AS THE CAR SHAMPOO MAY DRYBEFORE BEING RINSED OFF, AND COULD DAMAGE THE PAINTWORK. NEVERUSE RAGS SOAKED IN PETROL OR DIESEL OIL TO CLEAN THE PAINTED ORPLASTIC SURFACES, IN ORDER TO PREVENT THEM LOSING THEIR SHINEAND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
WARNING
WHEN WASHING THE ENGINE WITH A HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JET:
• ONLY USE FAN SPRAY JETS.
