Safe driving (02_19)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge
are the basis of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic - free zones,
in order to acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle.
1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.
2.Reduce speed on rough roads and drive with care.
3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be
poor at the beginning. Under these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes

from time to time.
4. Do not brake hard on wet, unsurfaced or slippery road surfaces.
5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter while it is still resting on its support. In any
case, the rear wheel should not be turning when in comes into contact with the ground,
in order to avoid abrupt departures.
6. If riding over roads affected by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. we recommend
cleaning the brake disc with a non-corrosive detergent frequently in order to prevent
corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early break pad
wear.
