Q SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10260

SCOOTERS ARE SINGLE TRACK VE-

HICLES. THEIR SAFE USE AND OP-

ERATION ARE DEPENDENT UPON

THE USE OF PROPER RIDING TECH-

NIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPER-

TISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OP-

ERATOR SHOULD KNOW THE FOL-

LOWING REQUIREMENTS BEFORE

RIDING THIS SCOOTER.

HE OR SHE SHOULD:

8 OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-

TIONS FROM A COMPETENT

SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF

SCOOTER OPERATION.

8 OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND

MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-

MENTS IN THE OWNER’S

MANUAL.

8 OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING IN

SAFE AND PROPER RIDING

TECHNIQUES.

8 OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-

NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED

BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND/

OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY

BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.

Safe riding

8 Always make pre-operation checks.

Careful checks may help prevent

an accident.

8 This scooter is designed to carry

the operator and passenger.

8 The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize scooters in traffic is

the predominating cause of auto-

mobile/scooter accidents. Many

accidents have been caused by an

automobile driver who did not see

the scooter. Making yourself con-

spicuous appears to be very effec-

tive in reducing the chance of this

type of accident.

Therefore:

9 Wear a brightly colored jacket.

9 Use extra caution when

approaching and passing

through intersections, since

intersections are the most

likely places for scooter

accidents to occur.

9 Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

8 Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many op-

erators who have been involved in

accidents do not even have a cur-

rent driver’s license.

9 Make sure that you are quali-

fied and that you only lend your

scooter to other qualified

operators.

9 Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may

help you to avoid an accident.

9 We recommend that you

practice riding your scooter

where there is no traffic until

you have become thoroughly

familiar with the scooter and all

of its controls.

Many accidents have been caused

by error of the scooter operator. A

typical error made by the operator

is veering wide on a turn due to

EXCESSIVE SPEED or

undercornering (insufficient lean

angle for the speed).

9 Always obey the speed limit

and never travel faster than

warranted by road and traffic

conditions.

1-2

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

9 Always signal before turning or

changing lanes. Make sure that

other motorists can see you.

8 The posture of the operator and

passenger is important for proper

control.

9 The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar and

both feet on the footboard

during operation to maintain

control of the scooter.

9 The passenger should always

hold onto the operator, the seat

strap or grab bar, if equipped,

with both hands and keep both

feet on the passenger foot-

rests.

9 Never carry a passenger unless

he or she can firmly place both

feet on the passenger foot-

rests.

8 Never ride under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

This scooter is designed for on-road

use only. It is not suitable for off-

road use.

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from scooter

accidents are the result of head injuries.

The use of a safety helmet is the single

most critical factor in the prevention or

reduction of head injuries.

8 Always wear an approved helmet.

8 Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind

in your unprotected eyes could con-

tribute to an impairment of vision

which could delay seeing a hazard.

8 The use of a jacket, substantial

shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is

effective in preventing or reducing

abrasions or lacerations.

8 Never wear loose-fitting clothes,

otherwise they could catch on the

control levers or wheels and cause

injury or an accident.

8 Never touch the engine or exhaust

system during or after operation.

They become very hot and can

cause burns. Always wear protec-

tive clothing that covers your legs,

ankles, and feet.

8 Passengers should also observe

the above precautions.

Modifications

Modifications made to this scooter not

approved by Yamaha, or the removal of

original equipment, may render the

scooter unsafe for use and may cause

severe personal injury. Modifications

may also make your scooter illegal to

use.

Loading and accessories

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 when

riding a scooter that has added cargo or

accessories. Here are some general

guidelines to follow if loading cargo or

adding accessories to your scooter:

5YR-F8199-11ch1.pmd 2004/06/11, 14:112

1-3

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

The total weight of the operator, passen-

ger, accessories and cargo must not ex-

ceed the maximum load limit of 144 kg

(317 lb). When loading within this weight

limit, keep the following in mind:

8 Cargo and accessory weight should

be kept as low and close to the

scooter as possible. Make sure to

distribute the weight as evenly as

possible on both sides of the

scooter to minimize imbalance or

instability.

8 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.

8 Never attach any large or heavy

items to the handlebar, front fork,

or front fender. Such items can cre-

ate unstable handling or a slow

steering response.

Accessories

Genuine Yamaha accessories have

been specifically designed for use on

this scooter. Since Yamaha cannot test

all other accessories that may be avail-

able, you must personally be responsible

for the proper selection, installation and

use of non-Yamaha accessories. Use

extreme caution when selecting and in-

stalling any accessories.

Keep the following guidelines in mind,

as well as those provided under “Load-

ing” when mounting accessories.

8 Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the perfor-

mance of your scooter. Carefully

inspect the accessory before us-

ing it to make sure that it does not

in any way reduce ground clear-

ance or cornering clearance, limit

suspension travel, steering travel

or control operation, or obscure

lights or reflectors.

9 Accessories fitted to the

handlebar or the front fork area

can create instability due to

improper weight distribution or

aerodynamic changes. If

accessories are added to the

handlebar or front fork area,

they must be as lightweight as

possible and should be kept to

a minimum.

9 Bulky or large accessories may

seriously affect the stability of

the scooter due to aerodynamic

effects. Wind may attempt to

lift the scooter, or the scooter

may become unstable in cross

winds. These accessories may

also cause instability when

passing or being passed by

large vehicles.

9 Certain accessories can

displace the operator from his

or her normal riding position.

This improper position limits

the freedom of movement of

the operator and may limit

control ability, therefore, such

accessories are not recom-

mended.

8 Use caution when adding electrical

accessories. If electrical accesso-

ries exceed the capacity of the

scooter’s electrical system an elec-

5YR-F8199-11ch1.pmd 2004/06/11, 14:113

Q SAFETY INFORMATION

tric failure could result, which could

cause a dangerous loss of lights or

engine power.

Gasoline and exhaust gas

8 GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAM-

MABLE:

9 Always turn the engine off

when refueling.

9 Take care not to spill any

gasoline on the engine or

exhaust system when refueling.

9 Never refuel while smoking or

in the vicinity of an open flame.

8 Never 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.

8 Always turn the engine off before

leaving the scooter unattended and

remove the key from the main

switch. When parking the scooter,

note the following:

9 The 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.

9 Do not park the scooter on a

slope or soft ground, otherwise

it may fall over.

9 Do not park the scooter near a

flammable source (e.g., a

kerosene heater, or near an

open flame), otherwise it could

catch fire.

8 If 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.

Further safe-riding points

ZAUM00**

Turn left

ZAUM00**

Turn right

8 Make sure to signal clearly when

making turns.

8 Braking 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.

8 Slow down as you approach a cor-

ner or turn. Once you have com-

pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.

8 Be careful when passing parked

cars. A driver might not see you and

open a door in your path.

8 Railroad 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.

8 The brake lining could get wet when

you wash the scooter. After wash-

ing the scooter, check the brakes

before riding.

8 Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou-

sers (tapered around the cuff and

ankle so they do not flap), and a

bright colored jacket.

8 Do not carry too much luggage on

the scooter. An overloaded scooter

is unstable. Use a strong cord to

secure any luggage to the carriers.

A loose load will affect the stability

of the scooter and could divert your

attention from the road. (See page
