OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

Always follow the proper starting procedure described below.
This scooter is equipped with a side stand ignition cut-off system. The engine cannot be started if
the side stand is down. A running engine will shut off if the side stand is lowered.
To protect the catalytic converter in your scooter's exhaust system, avoid extending idling and the
use of leaded petrol.
Your scooter's exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas. High levels of carbon monoxide
can collect rapidly in enclosed areas such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door
closed. Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move your scooter out of the
garage.
Do not use the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Release the starter button for
approximately 10 seconds before pressing it again.
