SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

15
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
2.3 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Using Quadro3 requires knowledge of driving techniques for two-wheeled / three-wheeled vehicles.
Ensure you have learnt and practised these techniques with a qualified driving instructor before using the scooter.
Quadro3 has been designed to offer the driver and passenger maximum comfort and safety, however this can only be
obtained through responsible use of the scooter.
When necessary, we recommend practising the scooter functions away from heavily trafficked areas.
Do not drive the vehicle if you do not have a valid driving licence.
Driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs or medicaments, has a significant negative
effect on reaction times, decision-making and driving abilities in general; it is also generally punished
in accordance with the laws of the country in which you are driving. .
2.4 CLOTHING
The driver and passenger must wear clothing and safety equipment which meets applicable legislation in the country the
vehicle is being driven in and protects 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 accessories which
could get caught in the moving parts of the scooter and/or compromise the driver's view and safety.
Wear adequate technical clothing and safety equipment that is approved and certified and that
guarantees optimal protection to the driver and passenger. You are recommended to always wear
clothing that makes the driver visible to other road users.
While the scooter is being serviced, wear clothes and protective equipment that are suitable for the operation being carried
out.

16
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
2.5 REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
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.
After refuelling, ensure that the fuel filler cap is closed correctly.
Contact a doctor immediately if fuel is swallowed or comes into contact with eyes or skin.
2.6 SAFE DRIVING
Quadro3 has been designed to transport the driver and a maximum of one passenger. Before driving you must perform
a general check on the condition of the scooter, particularly the safety systems, lights and tyres; if you should notice any
serious faults, consult an authorised Quadro dealer immediately.
While driving, the driver must keep both hands on the handlebars and the passenger must hold onto the handles at the
sides of the seat. Both the passenger and driver must keep both feet on the footrest 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.
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 unbalancing of the load that could jeopardise the stability of the scooter.
Always transport 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.

17
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Fig. 01 QSI0076
When starting off, release the brake lever and turn the throttle handle
slowly in the direction shown by the arrow (Fig. 01); to decelerate, re-
lease the throttle handle accompanying it.
If you open and close the throttle handle abruptly it could cause the vehicle to race forward
suddenly and a possible loss of vehicle 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 accompany it
as quickly as possible to the "gas closed" position.

18
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During a long stretch downhill, release the throttle handle and brake gently intermittently. 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 other 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.
Quadro3 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 thereby
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 example, the
exhaust pipe).
Do not start the engine in closed and/or poorly ventilated environments.
