SAFETY INFORMATION
9Take care not to spill any
gasoline on the engine or
exhaust system when refueling.
9Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
8Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has adequate
ventilation.
8Always turn the engine off before
leaving the scooter unattended and
remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the scooter,
note the following:
9The engine and exhaust
system may be hot, therefore,
park the scooter in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
9Do not park the scooter on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise
it may fall over.
9Do not park the scooter near a
flammable source (e.g., akerosene heater, or near an
open flame), otherwise it could
catch fire.
8If you should swallow any gasoline,
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or
allow gasoline to get into your eyes,
see your doctor immediately. If any
gasoline spills on your skin or cloth-
ing, immediately wash the affected
area with soap and water and
change your clothes. Safe-riding points
EAUT2030
Further safe-riding points8Make sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
8Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when stop-
ping on a wet surface.
8Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.
8Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you and
open a door in your path.
8Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers become
extremely slippery when wet. Slow
down and cross them with caution.
Keep the scooter upright, otherwise
it could slide out from under you.
8The brake lining could get wet when
you wash the scooter. After wash-
ing the scooter, check the brakes
before riding.
8Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou-
sers (tapered around the cuff and
ankle so they do not flap), and a

EAU16830
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throttle
operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
