INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Do not use any "brake lock" devices.
Failure to heed this warning can seri-
ously damage the braking system and
lead to an accident thus provoking serious in-
juries or death
.
Before starting the vehicle for the first time, check
that the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure
(see ≈TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE∆) and fill the
fuel tank with premium grade petrol (see ≈TECH-
NICAL DATA∆).
Fill the mixer oil tank with oil (see ≈LUBRICANT
CHART∆).
The motor must not be filled with petrol/
oil mixed at filling stations.
Check the engine coolant level (see ≈COOLANT
CHECKING∆).
Make sure that there are no air bubbles in the mix-
er oil pipe (from the oil tank to the pump); if neces-
sary, bleed the pump by means of the appropriate
screw (see "SEPARATE LUBRICATION∆).
RUNNING
In the initial period of use is very important for the fu-
ture performance of the engine.
We advise warming up the engine before starting off,
allowing it to turn over for a few minutes at a low
speed.
If possible, drive on hill roads and/or roads with many
bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the
brakes undergo a more effective running-in.
After the first month of use, let the 1
pon be made by an aprilia Official Dealer.
If there is no oil left in the mixer oil tank,
avoid using the vehicle so as not to cause
irreparable damage to the motor.
Then bleed the system (see "SEPARATE LUBRI-
FICATION") after filling the tank with specific oil
(see "LUBRICANT CHART).
The disc and shoes of the front brake require a run-
ning-in period (about 500 km) before reaching opti-
mum performance conditions.
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles.
