CORRECT DRIVING OPERATION
STARTING THE ENGINE
●Make sure that the rear wheel is locked
when starting the engine to prevent an
unexpected quick start of the vehicle.
●Locking is not possible if the rear
wheel brake is not adjusted correctly.
●Pay attention so that the hand or any
part of the body not to contact with the
rear wheel when accelerating the
vehicle with the main stand erected
since there is danger of injury.
●If the rear wheel contacts with the
ground when accelerating the vehicle
with the main stand erected, the
vehicle can go forward uninten-
tionally resulting in injury of the
driver.
●If the oil warning indicator turns on
after the main switch is placed to an
“ON” position, quickly fill the oil
tank using pure oil.
●Never run the engine in an enclosed
area. The exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can cause
loss of consciousness and lead to
death.
●While the scooter is on its stand you
should NEVER apply full throttle : if
the rear wheel touches the ground the
scooter would set off at full speed.
(Remember that the scooter has a
centrifugal automatic speed control.
