MENT.●
Do not run engine indoors. Even if
you try to ventilate engine exhaust
with fans or open windows and
doors, carbon monoxide can rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
●
Do not run engine in poorly venti-
lated or partially enclosed areas
such as barns, garages, or car-
ports.
●
Do not run engine outdoors where
engine exhaust can be drawn into
a building through openings such
as windows and doors.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your
scooter can adversely affect stability
and handling if the weight distribution of
the scooter is changed. To avoid the
possibility of an accident, use extreme
caution when adding cargo or accesso-
ries to your scooter. Use extra care whenriding a scooter that has added cargo or
accessories. Here, along with the infor-
mation about accessories below, are
some general guidelines to follow if load-
ing cargo to your scooter:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
Maximum load:
177 kg (390 lb)When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:●
Cargo and accessory weight should
be kept as low and close to the
scooter as possible. Securely pack
your heaviest items as close to the
center of the vehicle as possible
and make sure to distribute the
weight as evenly as possible on
both sides of the scooter to mini-
mize imbalance or instability.
●
Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that ac-
cessories and cargo are securely
attached to the scooter before riding.
Check accessory mounts and
cargo restraints frequently.
Properly adjust the suspension
for your load (suspension-
adjustable models only), and
check the condition and
pressure of your tires.
Never attach any large or
heavy items to the handlebar,
front fork, or front fender. Such
items can create unstable
handling or a slow steering
response.
This vehicle is not designed to
pull a trailer or to be attached to
a sidecar.

sparks, open flames, or other
sources of ignition such as the pi-
lot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up, heat
from the engine or the sun can
cause fuel to spill out of the fuel
tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately.
NOTICE:
Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may dete-
riorate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
