Vespa LX 50 4T User Manual

03_32
Rear drum brake (03_32)
Operate adjustment nut «B» and loosen lock nut «A» shown in the figure. Note that
when the throttle is in idle the wheel should rotate free. After the adjustment, screw
lock nut «A».
CAUTION
THE BRAKING ACTION SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE
LEVER STROKE.
03_33
Puncture (03_33)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres. When there is a puncture, Tubeless tyres
- unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly. This offers greater riding safety. A
tyre that goes flat very slowly can be repaired with an "Inflate and Repair" spray. Tyres
should be later fully repaired or replaced at an Authorised Service Centre.
03_34
Periods of inactivity (03_34)
We recommend carrying out the following operations:
1. General cleaning of the vehicle.
2 - With the engine off and the piston at bottom dead centre position, remove the spark
plug and pour 1÷2 cc of motor oil through its hole. Operate the starter 3-4 times letting
the engine perform a few revolutions, then remount the spark plug.
3 - Drain up all the vehicle's fuel; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts;
keep the wheels lifted above the ground.
