Avoid parking the vehicle-cata-
lytic version near dry brush
wood or in places easily accessi-
ble to children, as the catalytic silenc-
ers becomes extremely hot during use;
be very careful and avoid any kind of
contact before they are completely
cooled down.
The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencer
with metal catalytic converter of the "plati-
num-rhodium bivalent" type.
This device provides for the oxidation of
the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC
(unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the
exhaust gases, changing them into carbon
dioxide and steam, respectively.
a
Do not use leaded petrol, since it
causes the destruction of the
catalytic converter.
