BASIC OPERATION

STARTING NOTES
Starting, idling or moving the throttle may cause this vehicle to start moving. Do not start the
motor scooter or move the throttle unless you are prepared for vehicle movement.
When the scooter is started, idle speed may be noticeably higher than when the engine is warm
due to the automatic choke. This is done to help bring emission control system components to
their operating temperature quickly and so your scooter operates without stalling when cold.
Great care should be taken when the scooter is started, moved or
left idling on the side or center stand. The scooter should be started on the center stand, only.
Check engine oil and gasoline before starting.
If the engine is not running smoothly after starting, turn the throttle slightly until the engine runs
smoothly.
If vehicle will not start, refer to the troubleshooting section.
Start the engine in an open, well-ventilated area. Exhaust fumes from the engine can cause
carbon monoxide poisoning.
