OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•The vehicle must be accompanied by: number-plate, registration document, tax
disc and insurance.
•Any modifications of the engine or other parts are punishable by severe sanctions
including the confiscation of the vehicle.
•Do not sit on the vehicle when it is on its stand.
•Do not start the engine in closed places.
WARNING
Any modifications and tampering with the vehicle during the warranty period exempt
the manufacturer from all responsibility and invalidate warranty.
ECOLOGIC GUIDE
•Every vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine produces an amount of
noise (noise pollution) and gases (air pollution) which varies with the riding style.
•The abatement of noise and air pollution levels is the duty of everybody. Avoid
full-throttle starts, sudden acceleration and abrupt braking. This will reduce noise
emission as well as the wear and tear of the tyres and mechanical parts, and will
also allow a considerable reduction in fuel consumption.

GB
RIDING SAFETY
•Observe the Highway Code.
•Always wear approved personal protective equipment.
•Always ride with the low beam on.
•Always keep the crash helmet visor clean.
•Avoid wearing garments with hanging ends.
•Do not keep sharp or brittle objects in your pockets while riding.
•Properly adjust the rearview mirrors.
•Always ride in a seated position, with both hands on the handlebars and both feet
on the footrests.
•Never ride abreast with other vehicles.
•Do not tow and avoid being towed by other vehicles.
•Always keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
•Do not start off while the vehicle is on its stand.
•Avoid swaying and wheelies as they are extremely dangerous for your own and
other people’s safety as well as for your vehicle.
•Always apply both brakes on dry roads with no gravel and sand. Using one brake
may be dangerous and cause uncontrolled skidding.
•To reduce the braking distance, always apply both brakes.
•On wet roads and in off-road riding, drive with care and at moderate speed. Take
special care in applying the brakes.
