BASIC SAFETY RULES
BEHAVIOUR AND DRIVING
This handbook should be read and understood before
using the vehicle.
To use this vehicle it is necessary to have fulfi lled all
the requirements of law (driving licence, minimum
age, insurance, government taxes, registration, num-
ber plate, etc.). The taking of certain medicines, al-
cohol and narcotics or a state of physical fatigue and
somnolence may considerably increase the risk of
accidents as they affect the body.
If the rider is inexperienced, it is advisable to become
familiar with the vehicle on sections of road with little
traffi c. NEVER lend the vehicle to inexperienced per-
sons and in any case ensure that the person has the
necessary qualifi cations for riding the vehicle.
The Highway Code must be meticulously observed
when riding the vehicle. It is absolutely forbidden to
race with the vehicles outside special authorised cir-
cuits supervised by appointed personnel. Avoid riding
off road.
Always ride correctly, avoiding manoeuvres that are
abrupt or dangerous for yourself and others (e.g.
wheeling , remaining in the slipstream of the vehicles
in front, failing to comply with speed limits, etc.).
Assess and always take into due consideration road
conditions, visibility, etc.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars in order to
steer properly and always keep both feet on the rela-
tive footrests.
Under no circumstances is it allowed to stand up or to
stretch out limbs while riding.
While riding it is a good rule to pay the utmost atten-
tion, avoiding being distracted or infl uenced by per-
sons, things, actions (e.g. do not smoke, eat, drink,
read, etc.).
The vehicle should always be kept in perfect condi-
tion, checking that the fuel, brake fl uid and coolant
are always within the recommended levels.
Only use specifi c lubricants and fuels of the type indi-
cated in the relative tables for the vehicle in question.
After a fall, check all the controls, levers, pipes, cables,
braking systems, wheels and tyres for damage. If any
damage is found, do not ride the vehicle, but have it
suitably transported (complying with safety and legal
regulations) to a FANTIC MOTOR authorised dealer.
!
It is forbidden to change in any way
whatsoever the position, angle or col-
our of: number plate, turn indicators,
lighting devices and horns. Do not
make technical changes to increase
performance or to alter the original
characteristics of the vehicle in any
way.
Such changes lead to cancellation of the warranty and
may jeopardise the performance and therefore de-
crease the level of safety of the vehicle or even make
it illegal and subject to penal sanctions.
Compliance with all legal provisions as well as nation-
al and local regulations regarding vehicle equipment
is recommended at all times.

Before starting the vehicle, always put a helmet on
and fasten it correctly.
