WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank
filler hole. 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.

wipe off spilled fuel with a cle-
an, dry, soft cloth, since fuel
may deteriorate painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.

Engine break-in
There 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 following 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 themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAU16951
0–150 km (0–90 mi)
●Avoid prolonged operation above
1/3 throttle.
●After every hour of operation,
stop the engine, and then let it
cool for five to ten minutes.
●Vary the engine speed from time
to time. Do not operate the engi-
ne at one set throttle position.150–500 km (90–300 mi)
●Avoid prolonged operation above
1/2 throttle.
●Rev the engine freely through the
gears, but do not use full throttle
at any time.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
●Avoid prolonged operation above
3/4 throttle. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed
and the oil strainer cleaned.

WARNING
●Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing
and always shield your eyes
when working near batteries.
In case of contact, administer
the following FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and
immediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
●Batteries produce explosive
hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed spa-
ce.
●KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTE-
RIES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
5. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.
To store the battery
1. If the scooter will not be used for
more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, and
then place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE: When removing the
battery, be sure the key is tur-
ned to “ ”, then disconnect
the negative lead before dis-
connecting the positive lead.
[ECA16302]
2. If the battery will be stored for
more than two months, check the
specific gravity of the electrolyte
at least once a month and fully
charge the battery whenever
necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before
installation.4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly
connected to the battery termi-
nals and that the breather hose is
properly routed, in good condi-
tion, and not obstructed. NOTI-
CE: If the breather hose is posi-
tioned in such a way that the
frame is exposed to electrolyte
or gas expelled from the bat-
tery, the frame could suffer
structural and external dama-
ges.
