BEFORE STARTING THE MOPED FOR THE FIRST TIME

It is advisable to make sure that transportation from our warehouse
to its final destination has not altered the original condition of the
moped.
- Check the condition of the sparking plug by removing the cap and
unscrewing the plug.
Spark plug condition
Correct Dry and clear insulation
Poor White insulation
Rich Damp and black insulation
- Check to see that there is oil in the oil reservoir. Before starting
the engine, make sure that the oil supply reaches the right level.
Upon removal of the screw, a slight tilting of the moped should suffice
for the oil to issue through the oil-level hole.
- Check the clutch-fluid level and the front- and rear-brake fluid level.

ENGINE

Engine lubrication is carried out by means of the fuel, with the oil
being supplied from a separate reservoir through a pump driven by
the moped engine.

GEARBOX AND CLUTCH

Gearbox and clutch lubrication is achieved through the spluttering
of the oil inside the crankcase. Both the gearbox and the clutch are
lubricated by the same oil contained in the 500cc crankcase.
This draining operation may be carried out by removing the clutch
cap or by operating the oil-drain screw.
- Draining the oil by operating the screw is easier. This should be
done while the engine is still hot, in order to achieve a cleaner
crankcase and to benefit from a more fluid condition of the oil that
will speed up the draining operation. Remove the screw and wait for
the crankcase to empty. Next, replace the screw, fill the crankcase,
and use the dipstick to check that the right level has been reached.
It is advisable to change the oil after the initial 500 Kms, with an oil-
level check every 2500 Kms and a new change every 5000 Kms.

CARBURETTOR

This is one of the most crucial items for a proper engine performance,
as it is within the carburettor that the petrol-air mixture is produced:
a deficient carburetion process translates into a poor performance
and may damage the thermal area of the engine. Consequently, it
is advisable to have the carburettor adjustment checked, ideally by
an Authorized GAS GAS Dealer.
Efforts must be made to ensure that the carburettor internal
components are clean and in good condition. For this purpose,
periodically clean the carburettor and especially its jet by using an
air jet or simply by blowing through it. Never use a wire to clean the
carburettor, as this might alter the bore and affect the engine negatively.
Yet another cause of carburettor malfunctioning may be a blocked
fuel-intake filter. Remove the screw securing the intake adapter,
clean the filter if it is dirty, and replace it carefully to avoid damaging
its filtering cloth.
