OPERATION
6. Limit the maximum speed of your scooter during the first
600 miles (1,000 km) of operation. Keep the road speed
below 25 MPH (40 KPH) during this break-in period.

7. Use both the rear brake lever 5 and the front brake lever
6 when slowing and stopping the scooter. Release the
throttle when braking.
Avoid using just one brake to stop the scooter, as
this will affect the tires' grip.
Avoid sudden braking, as this will also affect the tires'
grip and can cause an accident.

NOTE: Decreasing the scooter's speed with a balanced
application of both brake levers and a reduction of throttle
will reduce the distance required to stop. Squeeze the le-
vers lightly at first, and then increase the pressure when
stopping.

Prolonged and repetitive use of the vehicle's hydraulic
brakes for high speed stops will cause overheating of
the brake fluid and premature brake pad wear which can
cause unexpected loss of braking ability.
Use the scooter's turn signals to signal your intention
to merge into traffic. Always scan around you and check
the rear view mirrors so you are aware of other traffic.
Use caution as you merge into traffic, keeping to the
right until you match the pace of the traffic.
NOTE: At certain speeds your scooter will turn more ef-
fectively by leaning your body, than by applying pressure
on the handlebars. Practice steering in an open, traffic-
free area until you are familiar with the handling charac-
teristics of your scooter.
