BASIC SAFETY RULES
11
LOAD
Loading luggage on the vehicle could affect steering and it is therefore advisable to keep the luggage on the vehicle’s centre
of gravity if possible so that the weight is evenly and well distributed. Ensure that the load is firmly secured to the vehicle
(under no circumstances secure it to the handlebars, the forks or the front mudguard/fender). A load secured in this way
would affect the response of the vehicle in cornering, decreasing its stability and controllability. When carrying luggage,
take care that it does not project excessively and check that it does not cover the acoustic and visual warning devices.
SILENCER
This component, with regard to exhaust gas, has the task of oxidizing carbon monoxide converting it into carbon dioxide,
of transforming unburnt hydrocarbons into water vapour and reducing nitrogen oxides converting them into oxygen and
nitrogen.
During the vehicle use, the part of the exhaust system corresponding to the catalytic element can take a bright
red colour: this colour variation is absolutely normal and indicates a correct operation of the catalyst.
Avoid stopping or parking the vehicle near places where there is dry brushwood.
Avoid places accessible to children and/or people.
The silencer reaches high temperatures, so avoid any kind of contact and pay the maximum attention until it
has not completely cooled down.
It is forbidden to modify, alter or tamper with the exhaust system in any way.
Do not use leaded petrol as it will ruin the catalyst.
Check that there are no holes and signs of rust or wear on the exhaust system. Check that the exhaust system always works
correctly.
In case of increased or abnormal noise, contact a Authorized Fantic Motor Center as soon as possible.
For maintenance, repair or replacement work, contact an Authorized Fantic Motor Center.
