OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with a double
cable throttle. One cable opens the throttle
when you rotate the throttle grip toward
you; the other closes the throttle when you
rotate the grip away from you. It is
essential, when you release the throttle
grip, that it automatically return to the idle
position.
This double cable arrangement enhances
safety by providing for positive closing of
the throttle.
WARNING
In the event of a throttle sticking
emergency, always kill the engine using
the engine stop switch located near the
throttle grip on the right handlebar.
Never use your vehicle if the throttle
does not automatically fully return to
the idle position when the throttle grip
is released.
Contact your Local Moto Guzzi Dealer
for repairs. Failure to heed this warning
can lead to a serious accident and
subsequent injury or even death.
If you and your vehicle are involved in an
accident, make sure there has been no
damage to the control levers, tubes, wires,
braking system and other vital parts. If your
vehicle is involved in an accident, take it
immediately to your Local Moto Guzzi Dealer
who has the equipment and knowledge to
check for accidental damage which may
compromise your safety.
Your Moto Guzzi dealer is ready and able to
help you with any safety problems that you
might have, but of course it is necessary for
you to report any malfunctions to your
mechanic in order for him to help you.
Do not use your vehicle if it is damaged. A
damaged vehicle may become unstable or
present other problems which can increase
the risk of accident, and therefore of
serious injury or even death.
