Release the throttle grip (Pos. A - Fig. 11), put on the
rear brake, then move the vehicle down the stand.
Get on the vehicle, keeping at least one foot on the
ground in order not to lose balance.
a
Properly adjust the inclination of the rear-
view mirrors.
To leave, release the brake lever and accelerate by gen-
tly rotating the throttle grip (Pos. B - Fig. 11); the vehicle
will start moving.
a
Avoid opening and closing the throttle grip
repeatedly and continuously, so that you do
not accidentally lose control of the vehicle.
If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on
both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration,
properly exerting pressure on the braking parts.
By putting on the front brake only or the rear brake
only, you reduce the braking force considerably,
thus running the risk of locking one wheel and con-
sequently losing grip.
Before beginning to turn, slow down or brake driv-
ing at moderate and constant speed or accelerating
slightly; avoid braking at the last moment: it would
be very easy to skid.
