STARTING THE ENGINE

Before pressing the ignition button, pull the front or rear
brake lever and keep it pulled to start the engine, since
this lever acts on a special ignition consent switch.
The automatic transmission runs the rear wheel,
even when the throttle lever is operated gently.
Gradually release the brake after starting and
use the throttle with care.
Never start the engine in a closed area. Exhaust
fumes are poisonous.
If the tank is empty, do not operate the «START»
button and do not turn the key «ON» as this would
damage the injection system.
If the engine does not start, release the ignition
switch, wait a few seconds, then try again. Do
not operate the ignition system for more than 10
seconds at each attempt, otherwise the battery
engine, do not rev up too roughly when engine is
cold.
IMPORTANT! In order to ensure maximum battery
life, we recommend you to turn the engine on
with the lights switched off.
