CAUTION
NEVER STRESS THE ENGINE AT LOW TEMPERATURES IN ORDER TO AVOID

WHILE RUNNING DOWNHILL, IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE.
IN ANY CASE, IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE ENGINE FROM PROLONGED
OVERREVVING, THE REVOLUTION LIMITER WILL BE ACTIVATED IF THE EN-
GINE SPEED EXCEEDS THE ESTABLISHED THRESHOLD.
WARNING
AFTER A LONG DISTANCE COVERED AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED, DO NOT STOP
THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, BUT LET IT RUN AT IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

In case of difficulties, proceed as follows:
1. In case of flooded engine. Perform the same operations listed above. Accelerate
thoroughly and press the starter button alternating approx. 5 seconds of rotation and
5 seconds of stop keeping the accelerator control to maximum, since the opening and
closing causes a further fuel injection in the cylinder. After a few unsuccessful at-
tempts, let the engine stand for a few minutes and then repeat the above operations.
In any case, do not insist too much on the motor. As last operation, remove the spark
plug and actuate the engine start-up to eject the excess of fuel; then, replace the spark
plug and repeat the operations of 1.
2. If you run out of fuel. After refuelling the vehicle, actuate the start-.up button «E»
and keep the accelerator control to minimum to give vacuum to the fuel pump.
