Rules

Safety rules

- Should it be necessary to keep the engine running while servicing, make sure that the area or room

is well ventilated, and use special exhaust fans, if required. Never let the engine running in closed rooms.

In fact, exhaust gases are toxic.

- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, clothes and skin. Sulphuric acid is

highly corrosive; in the event of contact with your eyes or clothes, rinse thoroughly with water and consult

a doctor immediately.

- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparks

and flames when close to the battery, especially during recharge.

- Fuel is highly flammable, and in some conditions it can be explosive. Do not smoke in the working

area, and avoid free flames or sparks.

- Clean the brake pads in a well ventilated environment, directing the compressed air jet so as to not

intake the dust produced by the wear of the friction material. Even though the latter contains no as-

bestos, dust inhalation is harmful.

Maintenance rules

- Use original PIAGGIO spare parts and lubricants recommended by the Manufacturer. Non-original or

non-conforming spares may damage the vehicle.

- Use only the appropriate tools designed for this vehicle.

- Always use new gaskets, sealing rings and split pins upon refitting.

- After removal, clean the components using non-flammable or low flash-point solvents. Lubricate all

the work surfaces, except tapered couplings, before refitting these parts.

- After refitting, make sure that all the components have been installed correctly and work properly.

- For removal, overhaul and refit operations use only tools with metric measures. Metric bolts, nuts and

screws are not interchangeable with coupling members with English sizes. Using unsuitable coupling

members and tools may damage the scooter.

- When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, make

sure the electric connections have been made properly, particularly the ground and battery connections.
