Starting up the engine (02_04)
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission system with a speed variator
and centrifugal clutch. For this reason, the throttle must be slightly untwisted while the
engine is being started; to start-off from stationary position, progressively twist the
throttle grip.
The vehicle is equipped with a fuel pump and a starter that switch on automatically as
soon as the engine is started.
In order to start the engine, it is necessary to pull either the rear brake lever "B" or the
front brake lever "C", before pressing the starting button, "A ", so as to disengage the
safety switches.
Proceed as follows:
1: Put the scooter on its stand "E"; check that the rear wheel is off the ground.
2: Keep the throttle closed.
3: Insert the key into the ignition switch, "D", and turn to the ON position.
4: Push the starter button «A» after pulling the rear brake lever «B» or the front brake
lever «C».
CAUTION
DO NOT CARRY OUT THESE OPERATIONS IN CLOSED AREAS SINCE EX-
HAUST GASES ARE TOXIC.
WARNING
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAKES THE REAR WHEEL TURN EVEN
WHEN THE THROTTLE IS SLIGHTLY TWISTED. RELEASE THE BRAKE CARE-
FULLY AFTER STARTING, AND THEN ACCELERATE GRADUALLY.
