Using QV3 requires knowledge of driv-
ing techniques for two-/three-wheeled
vehicles.
Ensure you have learnt and practised
these techniques with a qualified driving
instructor before using the scooter.
QV3 has been designed to offer the driv-
er and passenger maximum comfort and
safety, however this can only be obtained
through responsible use of the scooter.
When necessary, we recommend prac-
tising the scooter functions away from
heavily trafficked areas.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
AND REQUIREMENTS
Do not drive the vehicle if you
do not have a valid driving licence.
Driving while under the in-
fluence of alcohol and drugs or
medicaments, has a significant
negative effect on reaction times,
decision-making and driving abili-
ties in general; it is also generally
punished in accordance with the
laws of the country in which you
are driving.
The driver and passenger must wear
clothing and safety equipment which
meets applicable legislation in the coun-
try the vehicle is being driven in and pro-
tects them as far as possible in the case
of an accident. We recommend always
wearing a type-approved helmet, visor/
goggles, gloves, overall and boots; you
should always avoid any clothing or ac-
cessories which could get caught in the
moving parts of the scooter and/or ob-
struct the driver's view.
While the scooter is being serviced,
wear clothes and protective equipment
that are suitable for the operation being
carried out.
CLOTHING
Wear adequate technical
clothing and safety equipment
that is approved and certified and
that guarantees optimal protec-
tion to the driver and passenger.
You are recommended to always
wear clothing that makes the driv-
er visible to other road users.
While refuelling the scooter, always turn
off the engine and check that there are
no leaks in order to avoid breathing in
petrol fumes; do not smoke, do not use
naked flames and do not use mobile
telephones, as these may all ignite the
highly explosive fuel vapour, and check
that there are no fuel leaks.
REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
Contact a doctor immedi-
ately if fuel is swallowed or comes
into contact with eyes or skin.
After refuelling, ensure that
the fuel filler cap is closed correctly.

10
SAFETY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SAFE DRIVING
QV3 has been designed to transport the
driver and a maximum of one passenger.
Before driving you must perform a gen-
eral check on the condition of the scoot-
er, particularly the safety systems, lights
and tyres; if you should notice any seri-
ous faults, consult an authorised Quadro
Vehicles dealer immediately.
While driving, the driver must keep both
hands on the handlebars and the pas-
senger must hold onto the handles at
the sides of the seat. Both the passenger
and driver must keep both feet on the
footrest fig. 2 - fig. 3 while the scooter
is in motion. We therefore advise you do
not transport passengers who are not
able to keep their feet firmly planted on
the footrest.
fig. 2
fig. 3
Both the driver and the passenger must
sit in the right position that allows the
driver to control all the functions of the
vehicle and does not involve an unbal-
ancing of the load that could jeopardise
the stability of the scooter. Always trans-
port the passenger on the rear of the
seat.
Before setting off, allow the scooter to
warm up and anyway do not push it to
its maximum.
When starting off, release the brake le-
ver and turn the throttle handle slowly in
the direction shown by the arrow fig. 4;
to decelerate, release the throttle handle
accompanying it.
fig. 4

1
11
If you open and close the
throttle handle abruptly it could
cause the vehicle to race forward
suddenly and a possible loss of ve-
hicle control.
Do not attempt to start the
vehicle with the throttle open
as you might lose control of the
scooter.
Comfortable braking is guaranteed by
the gradual and simultaneous use of
both the front and rear brake.
Should it be necessary to
brake in an emergency, do not let
the throttle go abruptly but ac-
company it as quickly as possible
to the "gas closed" position.
During a long stretch downhill, release
the throttle handle and brake gently in-
termittently. Using the brakes for a long
time continuously could cause them to
overheat thus losing braking efficiency.
In order to avoid possible collisions, you
should:
• always make yourself visible to oth-
er drivers, ensuring you do not drive
in their blind spots;
• use appropriate caution when going
through road junctions;
• Use the direction indicators to signal
a lane change or turning.
QV3 has been designed and
developed primarily for use on
roads; you should therefore avoid
long and/or particularly uneven
stretches of unpaved roads.
If the road surface is wet, drive very
carefully and never brake abruptly as the
wheels might lock as a prevention there-
by increasing the scooter's stopping
distance and time. Always drive over
bumpier road surfaces such as tram rails
or potholes slowly.
In case of strong gusts of wind, drive the
vehicle at a moderate speed.
You should always adapt your speed
on the basis of the current road/traffic/
atmospheric conditions, and must never
in any case exceed the applicable speed
limit.
Do not touch any of the mechanical
components, as these can reach high
temperatures during operation (for ex-
ample, the exhaust pipe).
Do not start the engine in closed and/or
poorly ventilated environments.

12
SAFETY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
When parking your scooter, ensure it is
left in a location where it is not likely to
be hit by other traffic; it is also advisable
not to park the scooter on steep slopes,
uneven surfaces or on leaves, branches
or other flammable materials, as the high
temperature reached by some compo-
nents could ignite them.
The use of the scooter in a
closed and/or poorly ventilated
environment increases the risk of
carbon monoxide poisoning.
WHEN AT A STANDSTILL
When preparing to get off the scooter, al-
ways check you have activated the HTS
system lock. If you are carrying a pas-
senger, get the him or her to get off the
vehicle first.
The scooter is equipped with
a tilting system lock; for correct
use when parking/stopping the
scooter, carefully read the “HTS
system Parking lever and Lock/
Release” section in the “Getting to
Know Your Scooter” chapter.
LOAD LIMITS
In order not to compromise the stability
of the scooter, it is essential not to ex-
ceed the maximum permissible load,
and to distribute this as uniformly as pos-
sible (refer to the “Technical Data” chap-
ter). You must ensure that any loads are
correctly positioned and/or restrained in
the areas laid out for them. You should
also limit your speed on the basis of the
transported load.
Greater stability can be achieved by
placing loads inside the compartments
provided (the compartment under the
seat and the object compartment). Fur-
thermore it is advisable always to fix
loads being transported in such a way
that during the journey they do not move
so as to unbalance the weights causing
you to lose control of the vehicle.

13
UNAUTHORISED MODIFICATIONS/
ACCESSORIES AND SPARE PARTS
Do not make any type of modification
to the scooter (mechanical components
or bodywork), and always use original
Quadro Vehicles components/accesso-
ries in order not to compromise vehicle
operation and driver/passenger safety.
Never install accessories that require the
electrical system to be modified.
The use of non-original and/
or non-approved parts on your ve-
hicle, even if purchased at author-
ised Quadro Vehicles dealers, may
result in your warranty lapsing
and/or scooter malfunctions.
Never drive the scooter with
removed and/or damaged parts.
The sum of the weight of the
driver, the passenger and the load
transported must never exceed
the maximum specified in chapter
“Technical Data” of this Use and
Maintenance Manual and shown
on the rating plate in the compart-
ment under the seat.
Never transport loads on the
scooter handlebars.
Rims and tyres are the point where the
scooter is in contact with the road sur-
face. The use of rims and tyres with spec-
ifications different from those indicated in
this Use and Maintenance Manual or not
approved could cause instability or a loss
of control of the vehicle.
RESPONSIBILITIES
AND LIMITS OF USE
Improper use of the scooter or any work
performed on it which does not conform
to the indications given in this Use and
Maintenance Manual shall relieve the
manufacturer of any responsibility for ve-
hicle safety and/or operation.
