Maintenance (02_04)
Always keep the exhaust system, bodywork and air-conditioning system in good
working order. Ensure there are no loose connections or holes in the exhaust system.
It is advisable to have the exhaust system and the bodywork checked by an Author-
ised Piaggio Service Centre in the following cases:
•
whenever there is a change in the sound of the exhaust.
•
whenever the exhaust system is damaged or corroded.
•
whenever it collides with an object.
CAUTION
•
IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED NOT TO LEAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR PARKED FOR LONG PERIODS
OF TIME, AS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT EXHAUST FUMES MAY
ENTER THE VEHICLE DUE TO POOR MAINTENANCE OR TO A FAULT
IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.
•
BEFORE STARTING UP THE ENGINE INSIDE A GARAGE OR SIMILAR
ENVIRONMENT, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE AREA IS NOT CLOSED
AND PERFORM ONLY PARKING MANOEUVRES.
•
ENSURE THE EXHAUST PIPE IS COMPLETELY FREE FROM SNOW OR
OTHER DEBRIS IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE EXHAUST GASES FROM
ACCUMULATING UNDERNEATH THE BODY.
