Safety information
Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are
responsible for the safe and proper
operation of your scooter.
Scooters are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are
dependent upon the use of proper
riding techniques as well as the
expertise of the operator. Every
operator should know the following
requirements before riding this
scooter.
He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all aspects
of scooter operation.
Observe the warnings and
maintenance requirements in this
Owner’s Manual.
Obtain qualified training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical
service as indicated in this
Owner’s Manual and/or when
made necessary by mechanical
conditions.
Never operate a scooter without
proper training or instruction. Take
a training course. Beginners should
receive training from a certified
instructor. Contact an authorized
motorcycle dealer to find out about
the training courses nearest you.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks each
time you use the vehicle to make sure it
is in safe operating condition. Failure to
inspect or maintain the vehicle properly
increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. See page 5-1
for a list of pre-operation checks.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator and a passenger.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycle in traffic
is the predominating cause of
automobile/motorcycle accidents.
Many accidents have been caused
by an automobile driver who did not
see the motorcycle. Making
yourself conspicuous appears to
2-1
be very effective in reducing the
chance of this type of accident.
Therefore:
Wear a brightly colored jacket.
Use extra caution when you are
approaching and passing
through intersections, since
intersections are the most likely
places for motorcycle accidents
to occur.
Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
Never maintain a scooter
without proper knowledge.
Contact an authorized motor-
cycle dealer to inform you on
basic scooter maintenance.
Certain maintenance can only
be carried out by certified staff.
