Rules
Safety rules
- If work can only be done on the vehicle with the engine running, make sure that the premises are well-
ventilated, using special extractors if necessary; never let the engine run in an enclosed area. Exhaust
fumes 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 skin, rinse thoroughly with abundant water
and seek immediate medical attention.
- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparks
or flames near the battery, especially when charging it.
- Fuel is highly flammable and it can be explosive given some conditions. Do not smoke in the working
area, and avoid naked flames or sparks.
- Clean the brake pads in a well-ventilated area, directing the jet of compressed air in such a way that
you do not breathe in the dust produced by the wear of the friction material. Even though the latter
contains no asbestos, inhaling dust 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.
