Stopping The Engine - PIAGGIO X8 400 i.e. Owner's Manual

in another scooter, do not allow the two scooters to touch and position them both on
the centre stand (if the other scooter has one).
Proceed as follows:
a) Switch off all services and users, start up the vehicle with the auxiliary battery and
make the engine run slightly above idle to ensure deep battery charge; then turn off
the engine.
b) Set the vehicle key switch to "OFF".
c) Connect the positive terminal (+) of the discharged battery to the positive terminal
(+) of the auxiliary battery, and the negative terminal (-) of the discharged battery to
the negative terminal (-) of the auxiliary battery.
d) Try to start the scooter by alternating 5 seconds of turning the starter motor with 5
seconds of pause. If the motor does not start after 20" of using the start-up system,
do not continue with the attempt, since the scooter might not start due to some other
problem.
e) Once the engine has started, keep it running slightly above idle and disconnect the
cable (one cable at a time from both battery terminals) following the reverse mounting
procedure: first the negative terminal (-) and then the positive one (+). As soon as you
can, control the electrolyte level (in the case of unsealed batteries) and top up with
distilled water, if necessary. If the fault that causes the battery to discharge is unknown,
contact an authorised Piaggio Service Centre to check the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem.

Stopping the engine
