INTRODUCTION
•ThisWorkshop Manual describesthe main electrical/mechanical checks,theessential checksand the assemblyof
components supplied disassembled in order to deliver a brand new vehicle (the sequence of operations is not
binding).
•It is essential to follow the instructions with great care.Work carried out carelessly or, worse still, work that has not
been accomplished, can cause injuries and damage or, in the less serious cases, complaints.
NOTE These manuals provide the necessary information and instructions for routine maintenance and serv-
icing.
Some information has been given to us by the engine manufacturers.We therefore decline all respon-
sibility for any error, omission or misrepresentation.
MALAGUTI reserves the right to make any changes and modifications hereto it deems necessary
without prior notice.
MANUAL UPDATES
• The updates will be sent by us (in a reasonable time).Every CD-Rom you receive will supersede the one already in
yourpossession.
•The table of contents will be duly updated in the event that new pages are inserted, which render the consultation
of the manual difficult.

GENERAL WORK PROCEDURES
• Theadvice,recommendations and warnings givenhereafterare aimed at ensuring maximumwork safetyas well
as at considerably reducing the risk of accidents, personal injury, equipment damage and idle times.We therefore
recommend observing such advice, recommendations and warnings scrupulously.
SUGGESTIONS
• Only use top quality tools and equipment.
•Only use equipment conforming to EU Directives for lifting the vehicle.
• During all operations keep tools close at hand, ideally in accordance with a predetermined sequence of use, and
anyway never leave tools on the vehicle or in concealed or hard to reach positions.
• Always keep the work area clean and tidy.
• When tightening screws or nuts, start with the larger diameter or inner fasteners, and tighten them in a “crosswise
pattern” in successive “torquing steps”.
• Preferably use open-end wrenches and tighten by exerting “pulling force”rather than“pushing force”.
• Adjustable wrenches should only be used in case of
emergency, i.e. when a properly sized wrench is not
available. During the torquing stage the movable jaw
tends to open thus risking damaging the screw head or
achieving unreliable tightening torque values. In any
case, when using an adjustable wrench, take care to
proceed as shown in the figure.
• Except in the case of occasional services, prepare a
work sheet forthe customer,onwhich to takea note of
allthework performedandwrite memos relatingtoany
future checks that may be required.
RECOMMENDATIONS
•Before carrying outanywork on the vehiclewaitforall
the parts to cool down completely.
• Foroperations requiring twomechanics,makesure that
the various steps to be performed by each of them are
clearly defined and coordinated beforehand.
• Make sure that each component has been properly fit-
ted before proceeding with the next one.
• Lubricate all parts (where applicable) before reinstall-
ing them.
• Gaskets, oil seals, snap rings and cotters must be re-
newed at every refitting.
• The torque settings specified in the manuals refer to
the“final torque”, which mustbe reached progressive-
ly by steps.
• Loosen and tighten aluminium alloy parts (covers) only
after the engine has cooled down fully.
• Only use screwdrivers of suitable sizes in relation to
the screws to be loosened or tightened.
• Work in a comfortable position and ensure that the ve-
hicle is stable.
• Never use a screwdriver as a lever or chisel.
• Never use pliers to loosen or tighten screws or nuts because, in addition to not providing a sufficient clamping force,
they may also damage the screw head or nut hex.
•Never tap wrenches with a hammer (or other similar tools) to loosen or tighten screws and nuts.
•Never attempt to increase leverage by attaching tubes, etc.to wrenches.

those indicated. It is however necessary for
speed indexes to be identical for both tyres.
USE ONLY TYRES WITH THE RELEVANT
TYPE APPROVAL
Check the condition of your tyres (before each trip):if they are damaged (cracks) or cut, have them replaced as soon
as possible.
There are T.W.I. marks all around the tyre sidewalls.These correspond to tyre wear indicators situated in the tyre’s
tread;if there is no difference between the thickness of the tyre wear indicators and the tread depth, the tyre must be
changed.
NOTE Minimum tread depth (front and rear) is 2 mm.
INFLATION PRESSURE
Tyre inflation pressure must be adjusted while the tyre is at ambient temperature.
NOTE Inflation pressure differing from the specified values can lead to higher fuel consumption, irregular
tyre wear, impaired vehicle performance and riding conditions.

Use the coolant type prescribed in this man-
ual or a coolant with identical characteristics
when topping up the coolant tank.
To avoid burns never remove coolant tank
cap (B) when the engine is hot.
Do not top up with water except in emergen-
cy situations, in which case drain the tank
completely and fill with the prescribed cool-
ant as soon as possible.
REAR-VIEW MIRRORS
The left and right rear-view mirrors must be fitted to the
specificlocations on the handlebars andfirmly securedin
place.
Adjust the visual angle of the mirrors while sitting on the
scooter in its riding conditions.Orient the mirror until you
obtain the best visibility (A).
Takecare:objects behindyouareactually closerthan they

HELMET COMPARTMENT
• The helmet compartment is under the pillion seat. To
gain access to the compartment, put the scooter on its
stand and turn the ignition key counter-clockwise to
release the seat lock.
• Thehelmet compartment can accommodatea Jet type
helmet, positioned as shown in the figure.
Sometypes ofhelmetmaynotfitinto thecompartment.
Before choosing a helmet, make sure it fits into the
compartment.
• There is a 12V socket in the glove compartment that
canbeused,for example,to recharge a mobile phone.
The socket must only be used with the engine running
and preferably with the lights off; note that using the
socket reduces battery recharging and can reduce the
battery charge level in certain circumstances.
Do not use the socket for appliances with an excessive
power draw (max.power draw: 30W).
Thesocketcan also be used torecharge the batteryby
connecting it to a battery charger for sealed batteries
when the engine is switched off.
Rememberto refit the socketcap after usingthesocket
topreventthe ingressofforeignobjects thatcould cause
short-circuits or other undesirable consequences.
The helmet compartment can be used to carry lightweight objects, which must be stowed in such a
way as to avoid negative effects on stability of the scooter while riding.
Do not insert items that are sensitive to high temperatures (lighters,inflammable liquids,perishable
goods, etc.).
Do not leave documents or valuables inside the helmet compartment.
