Starting up the engine (02_05, 02_06, 02_07)
The vehicle is provided with an ignition exclusion system controlled by the side stand.
The engine cannot be started if the side stand is not raised. If the engine is on, it stops
when the side stand is lowered. This condition is indicated by the special indicator on
the digital instrument panel «D». The vehicle has a direct drive automatic transmission,
so the gas control handgrip must be set to idle during start-up; accelerate gradually
to start. The vehicle has a vacuum pump and a starter device that automatically start
as the engine is started. In order to start up the engine by the starter button «E», pull
and hold the front «G» or the combined «D» brake lever, which acts on a specific start-
up enable switch.
1. Rest the vehicle on the central stand «F», making sure that the rear wheel is raised
from the ground.
2. Keep the acceleration command hand-grip «C» at minimum.
3. Insert the key into switch «A» and turn it to the "ON" position.
4. Make sure that the switch «B» «RUN OFF» is set to «RUN» and that the side stand
«L» is in closed position.
5. Pull lever «G» of the front brake or «D» of the combined brake, then press the starter
button «E».
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.
