Starting difficulties (03_23)
Should there be any problem, proceed as follows:
•
Carburettor flooded.
Close the fuel cock, turn the start key to position "ON"; with closed starter open the
gas and press the start-up button 5 - 6 times; open the fuel cock and, with the switch
key in the «ON» position, press the start-up button. In any case, do not try with the
starter motor engaged.
•
Inefficiency of the battery or starter motor.
Use an auxiliary battery with equivalent or slightly higher specifications with respect
to the original battery.
If you need to bump start the vehicle (by pushing or towing), follow these instructions:
engage a high gear (2nd or 3rd), do not exceed 20 km/h (even when freewheeling),
release the clutch lever gradually. Before performing this operation, check the reverse
lever position.
If you cannot start the engine even with the procedure described above, contact an
Authorised PIAGGIO Service Centre.
CAUTION
NEVER STRESS THE ENGINE AT LOW TEMPERATURES IN ORDER TO AVOID
POSSIBLE DAMAGE. WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL, DO NOT EXCEED TOP
SPEED OR THE ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED BY PROLONGED OVERREV-
VING.
