MAINTENANCE

Risk of fire.
Keep fuel and other flammable
substances away from the elec-
trical components.
Before beginning any service opera-
tions or inspection of the vehicle,
switch off the engine and remove the
key, wait until the engine and the ex-
haust system have cooled down and, if
possible, lift the vehicles with the prop-
er equipment onto firm and flat ground.
Before proceeding, make sure that the
room in which you are working is prop-
erly ventilated.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the
engine and of the exhaust system, in or-
der to avoid burns.
Do not hold any mechanical pie-
ce or other parts of the vehicle
with your mouth: the componen-
ts are not edible and some of them are
noxious or even toxic.
If not expressly indicated other-
wise, for the reassembly of the
units repeat the disassembly op-
erations in reverse order.
In case any maintenance operation
should be required, it is advisable to
use latex gloves.
Routine maintenance operations can usu-
ally be carried out by the user, but some-
times specific tools and specific technical
skills may be required.
In case periodic maintenance operations,
assistance or technical advice are needed,
contact an Concessionario Ufficiale april-
ia, who will ensure you prompt and accu-
rate servicing.
Ask your Concessionario Ufficiale aprilia
to test the vehicle on the road after a repair
or periodic maintenance operation.
In any case, personally carry out the "Pre-
liminary checking operations" after any
maintenance operation, see page 35
(PRELIMINARY CHECKING OPERA-
TIONS).
