Keys (01_12, 01_13, 01_14)

Two types of keys are supplied together with the vehicle.

Key «A» is the «MASTER» key.

Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program all your otherkeys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance operations. For this reason itis advised that it be used only in exceptional circumstances.

The key «B» (single copy supplied) is used for regular operations such as:

- Engine start-up.

Together with the two keys, you will be given a CODE CARD bearing the same codeimprinted onto the two keys.

WARNING

LOSING THE MASTER KEY PREVENTS ANY FURTHER REPAIR OF THE "PIAG-GIO IMMOBILISER" SYSTEM AND OF THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.

Operation

Each time the ignition key «B» is removed while in the «OFF» or «LOCK» positions,the protection system activates the engine lock. Turning the ignition key «B» to«ON» disables the engine lock, provided that the safety system recognises the codetransmitted by the key. If the code is not recognised, turn the ignition key «B» first to«OFF» and then back to «ON» again; if lock persists, try again using the «A» MASTERkey. If the engine cannot be started, contact an Authorised Service Centre, whichis provided with the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system.

When the supplementary starter keys are required, remember that the all the keys,whether new or existing, should be programmed.

Contact an Authorised Service Centre and bring the «A» MASTER key and all«B» starter keys that you own.

The codes of starter keys not submitted for the new programming procedure are de-leted from the memory. Any lost starter keys will therefore not be enabled to start theengine.

WARNING

EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED INTHE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT MEMORY.

VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THEKEY.

IF THE VEHICLE IS SOLD, THE MASTER-HANDGRIP KEY (AS WELL AS THEOTHER STARTER KEYS) AND THE «CODE CARD» MUST ALSO BE TRANS-FERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.

Stand (02_10)

Push with your foot on the centre stand's fork «F» while lifting the vehicle backward,holding onto the handlebar.

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 provide thebest performance (acceleration and consumption) while driving on both flat roads anduphill.

If you have to stop up a hill (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keepthe vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine tokeep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of theclutch mechanism itself against the capstan.

35

2 Use

It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (otherthan those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or startingoff with driver and passenger at slopes greater than 25%.

Take the following precautions if the clutch overheats:

1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.

2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.

02_11

Safe driving (02_11)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a dailybasis, confidently and safely. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basisof safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones in order toacquire a good knowledge of the vehicle it self.1. Before riding off, remember to put on the helmet and fasten it correctly.

2. Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.

3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can bepoor at the beginning. In these conditions, it is a good idea to apply the brakes fromtime to time.

4. Do not brake hard on wet, unsurfaced or slippery roads.

5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when it is resting on its support. In anycase, in order to avoid abrupt departures, the rear wheel should not be turning whenin comes into contact with the ground.

6. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.,clean the brake disc frequently with a mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive par-ticles from building up inside the holes, which can result in early brake pad wear.

Engine oil level

In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the benchbearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause seriousdamage to the engine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil perform-ance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularlyreflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil con-sumption increases). In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checkingthe oil level any time you use the vehicle. The scooter is, however, equippedwith an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.

03_01

03_02

Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)

Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when theengine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level shouldbe somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level rod; «A»; whilethe oil is being checked, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even,horizontal surface.

If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hotengine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.

Engine oil top-up

The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by addingoil without ever exceeding the MAX. level. The topping up of the level between theMIN and MAX implies a quantity of 400 cm³ of oil. As reported in the scheduled main-tenance table, it is still expected to perform, at an Authorised Service Centre, a checkand engine oil top-up.

03_03

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_03)

The scooter is equipped with a warning light «F» that lights up when the key is turnedto «ON».

However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started.

If the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it isnecessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having toppedup the oil, the warning light still turns on while braking, at idle speed or whileturning a corner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Service Centre.

03_04

Engine oil change (03_04, 03_05)

Have oil changed and the cartridge filter «C» replaced as indicated in the scheduledmaintenance table at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptiedby draining the oil through drainage plug «B » of the mesh filter on the flywheel side.In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantityof oil still remains in the circuit, add approx. 950 ÷ 1000 cm³ of oil through the cap«A. Then start the engine, leave it running for a few minutes and shut it off: after 5minutes, check the level and if necessary, top-up without exceeding the MAX lev-el. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top-ups and changes,use new oil of the recommended type.

Cooling fluid level (03_14, 03_15, 03_16, 03_17)

Engine cooling is carried out by a forced-circulation coolant system. The coolant con-sists of a mixture 50% de-ionised water and 50% glycol ethylene-based antifreezesolution with corrosion inhibitors.

The coolant supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.

If the coolant temperature warning light comes on during regular vehicle functioning,shut off the engine, let it cool off and check coolant level; if the level is OK, contact anAuthorised Service Centre.

Check coolant when the engine is cold as indicated in the scheduled maintenancetables, following the steps below.

1. Place the scooter upright on its stand and turn the handlebar to the right: removethe cover by undoing screw «A».

2. Remove the expansion tank cover «B» by turning it anticlockwise.

Long periods of inactivity

Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is theresult of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging plus residual absorption byvehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance mayalso be due to environmental conditions and the cleanliness of the poles. In order toavoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow any of thesesteps:

- 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.

CAUTION

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.

Front and rear disc brake (03_48)

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 a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly dueto the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should betaken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.

CAUTION

BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.

CAUTION

HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THECHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER,IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAK-ING SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKINGSYSTEM CHECKED BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE OR DEALER. AF-TER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER UNTIL YOUHAVE OPERATED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOWTHE PLUNGERS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THECORRECT POSITION.

CAUTION

THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THEROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE BRAKE PADS. IN OR-

DER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLYWHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.

Puncture

The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of apuncture, Tubeless tyres - unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly, resultingin a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, an emergency repair can becarried out using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair, take your vehicleto an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a tyre involves re-moving the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centreor Dealer for these operations.

CAUTION

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY CAN PROPERLY, FOLLOW THEINSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING.

WARNING

THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDINGTHE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLYBALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS.
