to be given to the chapter related to warnings and safety.
All riders must follow the instructions below, in addition to general precautions to be observed while riding the vehicle.
Especially:
• Read this handbook carefully to learn about the operation, safety equipment and all necessary precautions. This will
allow you to ride the vehicle safely.
• This vehicle has been designed and built to be ridden outdoors by experienced adult riders.
• Petrol (fuel) is highly flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. You must always refuel in a well venti-
lated area and with the ignition switch turned to the OFF position.
• Do not smoke while refuelling and/or in the vicinity of fuel storage areas. Make sure the refuelling area is free from any
source of flame or sparks.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. After refuelling, make sure the cap has been securely and appropriately locked.
• Make sure there are no fuel leaks during refuelling. Fuel vapours or possible leaks may ignite. Ensure that the fuelling
area is completely dry before starting the engine.
• Do not start the engine indoors; exhaust gases are highly toxic and can cause loss of consciousness or even death of
the person exposed.
WARNINGS AND SAFETY

13
• In the event that fuel comes into contact with your eyes, you must seek immediate medical attention.
• The muffler becomes hot during operation and it will remain hot for period of time after turning off the engine; be careful
not to touch it when hot.
• In parking spaces, you must pay particular attention that the muffler does not come into contact with flammable mate-
rials as this may cause fires and/or burns.
• Do not push the vehicle beyond its design range of performance limitations. Only ride the vehicle in accordance with
the terms of use described in this handbook.

• Brake fluid is highly corrosive; avoid contact with the skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with
water.
• Do not open the expansion tank filler cap when the engine is still hot; burn hazard.
• Please bear in mind that when riding on long stretches of wet roads without operating the brakes their effect will
decrease. It is therefore highly recommended that you operate them periodically to ensure an efficient braking action.
