The first 1000 km is a crucial part for the life of your scooter. Proper running-in operation during this period helps in
ensuring a maximum life and smooth performance of your scooter.
The reliability and performance of your scooter depends on the special care and restraint exercised during the running-
in period. It is especially important that you avoid operating the engine in high speed (RPM), which could expose the
engine parts to excessive stress. Maximum recommended speed during the running-in is:
Maximum 50 kmph speed upto 1000 km (vary the engine speed for better mating of parts).
The first free service at 500 ~ 750 km is most important. During running-in period all the engine components and
other parts will have set in. All adjustments to be restored, all fasteners to be tightened. Engine and transmission
oil to be replaced. Timely performance of the first free service will ensure optimum service life and performance
from the engine.
RUNNING-IN INFORMATION
Replacing the engine and transmission oil during first free service is most important for better life of engine. Always use TVS
TRU4 SKUUTA oil (SAE10W30 API-SL, JASO MB) for better performance and life.

SAFE RIDING TIPS
SAFE RIDING RECOMMENDATIONS
Any two wheeler riding requires some precautions to be taken to ensure the safety of the rider, pillion and other road
users. These precautions are:
Familiarise yourself with newTVS Scooty Zest
Riding skill and your mechanical knowledge form the foundation of safe riding practices. We suggest you to practice
riding TVS Scooty Zest in a low-traffic condition until you are thoroughly familiar with your vehicle and its controls.
Remember practice makes you perfect.
Riding apparel
Loose, fancy clothing can be uncomfortable and unsafe when riding a two-wheeler. Choose good quality two wheeler
riding apparel.
Know your limits
Ride within the boundaries of your own skill at all times. Knowing these limits and staying within the limits will help
you avoid accidents.
Two wheeler safety starts with wearing a good quality helmet. One of the most serious injuries that can happen is a head
injury. Always wear an ISI approved helmet that should fit your head comfortably and securely. You should also have good
quality goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
To prevent or minimize accident, never consume alcohol or drugs before or during the operation of your vehicle. Even minimal
consumption of these will affect the rider’s ability to control the vehicle.

3
Posture
Proper vehicle riding starts with proper posture.
1. Keep your elbows relaxed and flexible.
2. Sit and adjust yourself on seat so that arms and
shoulders are relaxed
3. Look widely instead of gazing at one point.
Cornering
When cornering, centrifugal force works in a direction
perpendicular to the direction in which the vehicle
is moving. Centrifugal force increases in proportion
with speed and radius of the corner.
During cornering, reduce speed so as to lessen the
effects of centrifugal force. By all means, avoid abrupt
application of brake or sudden steering.
Braking
For safe riding, it is very important to master the
braking techniques.
1. Close / release the throttle.
2. Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
3. Progressive application of brake is safer.
4. Apply both the brakes. ‘SBT’ provides
additional braking even when ‘Only Rear
brake’ is applied, But applying ‘Both the
brakes’ helps you to use the full potential of
the brakes.
5. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet roads
close throttle and come to a slower speed to
avoid the loss of control over the vehicle due to
skidding.
One-hand riding is dangerous. Keep both hands firmly
on the handle bar and both feet securely on the floor
board. Under no circumstances should both the hands
be removed from the handle bar, as it is very dangerous.
Avoid use of mobile phones while riding as it could
lead to fatal accident.
Slow down to a safe speed before negotiating a corner.
If this is the first time that you are riding a vehicle of
this type, we suggest that you practice on a safe, open
area to thoroughly familiarise with the operation of the
vehicle.

4
Causes for poor braking
1. If the brake shoes or drum are worn out or if there
is water or oil on them, sufficient friction does not
develop and brakes do not work well.
2. Even when the brake works normally, if the road
surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out,
tyres do not take a firm hold on the surface,
increasing the stopping distance.
3. Approximately 60% braking effect is from front
brake. Non-usage of front brake causes poor
braking.
As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping distance
also increases progressively. Be sure that, you have
sufficient distance between you and the vehicle or
obstruction ahead of you.
Using only the front or rear brake is dangerous and can
cause skidding and loss of control. Apply both the
brakes together and with great care on a wet road or
other slippery surfaces. Any abrupt braking on slippery
or irregular roads can cause loss of rider control.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION AND SAFETY TIPS
Use extreme caution while selecting and installing
the accessories for your scooter.
The addition of unsuitable accessories can lead to
unsafe operating conditions. Your friendly Dealer
will assist you in selecting quality accessories and
installing them correctly.
While selecting the accessories, make sure the
accessories should not obstruct lighting, steering,
suspension level and ground clearance.
Additional electrical equipments and controls
should not exceed the specified electrical system
load of the vehicle (capacity of battery and
magneto).

5
EMISSION CONTROL
All the TVS vehicles are tested in the factory for
optimum fuel efficiency and CO levels. If the vehicle
needs any adjustments, please consult nearest
TVS Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer or
Authorised Dealer.
While adequate care is exercised at the factory
to ensure that the emissions are within the limits,
it is essential for the owner to always maintain the
scooter in good condition by getting it periodically
checked and serviced by TVS Motor Company
Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised Dealer so
that the emission and fuel consumption levels are
maintained as per norms.
Crankcase emission control system
The engine of new TVS Scooty Zest is equipped with
a closed crankcase system to prevent discharging
crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by
gas is returned to the combustion chamber through
the air cleaner and the fuel system.
Evaporative Emission Control System
TVS Scooty Zest is equipped with an evaporative
emission control system which consists of a canister
and associated piping. This system prevents the
escape of fuel vapors from the fuel tank.
Your vehicle is tested and certified for emission
which meets BS VI emission norms and is valid for
initial 12 months from the date of purchase. Get
your vehicle certified by the Government authorised
emission testing station every year (after initial 12
months of usage).
If there is any abnormal jerk, startability issue are felt in
the vehicle or noise due to sudden escape of gas during
opening of fuel tank cap, immediately report to the TVS
Motor Company Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised
Dealer.
