•
In presence of dirt, rust, humidity etc., clean the connector's internal parts carefully, using a
pressurised air jet.
•
Make sure that the cables are correctly linked to the connector's internal terminal ends.
NOTE
THE TWO CONNECTORS CONNECT ONLY FROM ONE SIDE; CONNECT THEM THE RIGHT WAY
ROUND.
•
Then fit the two connectors making sure that they couple correctly (if the relevant hooks are
provided, you will hear them "click" into place).
TIGHTENING TORQUE
CAUTION
DO NOT FORGET THAT TIGHTENING TORQUES OF ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ON WHEELS,
BRAKES, WHEEL SPINDLES AND OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A KEY ROLE IN
ENSURING THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFIED VALUES.
CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUES OF FASTENING PARTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AL-
WAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH TO REASSEMBLE THESE COMPONENTS.
IF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH, ONE OF THE COMPONENTS MAY
BECOME LOOSE AND EVEN DETACHED, THUS BLOCKING A WHEEL, OR OTHERWISE COM-
PROMISING THE VEHICLE'S MANOEUVRABILITY. THIS CAN LEAD TO FALLS, WITH THE RISK
OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
BRAKE FLUID
CAUTION
DO NOT USE FLUIDS OTHER THAN THOSE PRESCRIBED AND DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT LIQ-
UIDS WHEN TOPPING UP IN ORDER NOT TO DAMAGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID TAKEN FROM OLD CONTAINERS OR FROM CONTAINERS THAT
HAVE BEEN OPEN FOR A PROLONGED TIME.
SUDDEN CHANGES IN THE PLAY OR ELASTIC RESISTANCE IN THE BRAKE LEVERS ARE DUE
TO FAULTS IN THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.
MAKE ESPECIALLY SURE THAT BRAKE DISCS AND THE FRICTION MATERIAL ARE NOT
SMEARED OR GREASY, PARTICULARLY AFTER CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE AND IN-
SPECTION OPERATIONS.
CHECK THAT BRAKE WIRES ARE NOT TWISTED OR WORN.
ENSURE THAT WATER OR DUST DO NOT INGRESS INADVERTENTLY INTO THE CIRCUIT.
IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES WHEN SERVICING THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.
DISC BRAKE
CAUTION
ANY OIL OR OTHER LIQUIDS ON A DISC WILL SOIL THE BRAKE PADS.
SOILED PADS MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. A SOILED DISC OR A DISC WITH TRACES
OF OIL MUST BE CLEANED WITH A TOP QUALITY DEGREASING AGENT.
IF THE SCOOTER IS USED CLOSE TO WATER OR ON DUSTY OR UNSURFACED ROADS, OR
IF IT IS USED FOR SPORTS APPLICATION, HALVE THE SERVICE INTERVALS.
COOLANT
The engine is cooled by forced fluid circulation system. The coolant liquid is made up of 50% de-ionised
water and 50% glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors. The product recom-
mended in the "recommended products table" is already mixed and ready to use.
