1 About these instructions
Read these operating instructions before
commissioning the vehicle to ensure you use all the
functions correctly and safely. They are not a
substitute for personal training by the supplying
specialist dealer. The operating instructions are an
integral part of the vehicle. Therefore, if it is re-sold at
a later time, they must be handed over to the
subsequent owner.
These operating instructions are mainly intended for
the vehicle rider and operator, who tend to be non-
professionals.
Staff at all specialist dealers have specialist training
and qualifications, and are therefore capable of
identifying risks and preventing hazards which may
arise during maintenance, servicing and repairs on the
vehicle. Information for specialist staff does not
require non-professionals to take any action.

The printed EC Declaration of Conformity in the
appendix is valid providing that the vehicle remains
unchanged from its original condition. As soon as the
operator makes any relevant modifications or
additions, they legally become the manufacturer. They
must guarantee compliance with the EC directives
under their own responsibility once more to:
• bring the vehicle into circulation again,
• attach the CE marking again and
• avoid compromising occupational safety.
