Engine oil level In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine itself. In all 4T engines the decay of oil characteristics as well as some consumption is normal.
Engine oil top-up Always check oil level before carrying out top-ups and add oil without exceeding the MAX level. An engine oil check-up and top-up should be carried out every 3,000 km at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. Engine oil change (03_03) Change oil and clean the filter after every 6,000 km at an Authorised Service Cen- tre.
Hub oil level (03_04, 03_05, 03_06) To check the hub oil level, proceed as follows: 1. Place the vehicle on its stand on a level surface; 2. Unscrew the oil dipstick «A», dry it with a clean rag and then reinsert it, screwing it tightly into place;...

CAUTION IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, NEVER DISCON- NECT THE WIRING WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. DO NOT TIP THE SCOOT- ER TOO MUCH IN ORDER TO AVOID DANGEROUS LEAKAGE OF BATTERY ELECTROLYTE Use of a new battery (03_22) To install a new battery: 1.
Characteristic Battery 12V-9Ah Long periods of inactivity Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging plus residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanliness of the poles.
WARNING DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THIS CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ELECTRONIC CON- TROL UNIT. WARNING USED BATTERIES ARE HARMFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULA- TIONS IN FORCE.

Front disc brake (03_43) The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system.
Rear drum brake (03_44) Operate adjusting nut «B» and loosen lock nut «A» shown in the figure. Note that when the throttle is in idle the wheel should rotate free. After the adjustment, screw lock nut «A». CAUTION BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE. 03_44 Puncture The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube).
WARNING THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLY BALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS. Periods of inactivity (03_45) We recommend carrying out the following operations: 1.
Cleaning the vehicle Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the painted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body sponge soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water). Then rinse with abundant water, and dry with a shammy cloth.
