Difficult start up (02_09, 02_10, 02_11)

If there is a problem you can follow the instructions below:
1. Engine flooded. Place the vehicle on its centre stand and check that the rear wheel
is off the ground. Open the throttle fully and press the starter button for five seconds
and then stop for five seconds. If the engine does not start after a few attempts, let
the engine sit for a few minutes and then repeat the above operations. In any case do
not operate the starter motor longer than 20" in an attempt to start the engine.
2. Battery or starter motor inefficiency. Put the scooter on its stand "E"; make sure
that the rear wheel is off the ground, turn the key switch «D» to «ON» and use the
02_09
kick-starter «F».
3. Empty fuel tank. After refuelling the scooter, start the engine by pressing the starter
button «A» with the throttle at a minimum to provide maximum aspiration for the tap.
If the vehicle fails to start even after carrying out the steps described above, contact
an Authorised Service Centre.
CAUTION
ALWAYS PLACE THE VEHICLE ON ITS STAND BEFORE KICK STARTING.
