Page 30: Precautions
Precautions CAUTION NEVER STRESS THE ENGINE AT LOW TEMPERATURES IN ORDER TO AVOID POSSIBLE DAMAGE. BE CAREFUL NEVER TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SPEED WHILE RUNNING DOWNHILL, IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE. IN ANY CASE, IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE ENGINE FROM PROLONGED OVERREVVING, THE REVOLUTION LIMITER WILL BE ACTIVATED IF THE EN- GINE SPEED EXCEEDS THE ESTABLISHED THRESHOLD. -

best performance (acceleration and consumption) while driving on both flat roads and uphill. If you have to stop up a hill (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of the clutch mechanism itself against the capstan. - Page 34 THE SCOOTER CAN BE RIDDEN AT A HIGHER SPEED WITHOUT THE ACCES- SORIES MENTIONED BEFORE WITHIN THE LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY LAW. IF THERE ARE ANY NON-PIAGGIO ACCESSORIES INSTALLED, OR AN AB- NORMAL LOAD, OR IF THE SCOOTER IS NOT IN A GENERALLY GOOD CON- DITION, OR WHENEVER WEATHER CONDITIONS DEMAND IT, SPEED SHOULD BE FURTHER REDUCED.
- Page 35 CAUTION DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE RIDING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. CAUTION ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCH AS TAMPERING WITH ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBID- DEN BY LAW, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED TYPE AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.

Page 38: Engineoillevel
Engineoillevel 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. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil perform- ance and consumption should be considered normal. -
Page 39: Warninglight(Insufficientoilpressure) (03_02
The oil and cartridge filter «C» should be replaced every 6,000 km (125 cc) or 12,000 Km (250 cc) at an Authorized Piaggio Service Centre. The engine should be emp- tied by draining the oil from the filter drainage tap «B» on the flywheel side. In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/bar. -
