Q QQ Q
Q SAFETY INFORMATION8Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard braking,
because the scooter could slide.
Apply the brakes slowly when stop-
ping on a wet surface.
8Slow down as you approach a cor-
ner or turn. Once you have com-
pleted a turn, accelerate slowly.
8Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you and
open a door in your path.
8Railroad crossings, streetcar rails,
iron plates on road construction
sites, and manhole covers become
extremely slippery when wet. Slow
down and cross them with caution.
Keep the scooter upright, otherwise
it could slide out from under you.
8The brake pads could get wet when
you wash the scooter. After wash-
ing the scooter, check the brakes
before riding.
8Always wear a helmet, gloves, trou-
sers (tapered around the cuff and
ankle so they do not flap), and a
bright colored jacket.
8Do not carry too much luggage on
the scooter. An overloaded scooter
is unstable.

8Become thoroughly familiar with
all operating controls and their
functions before riding. Consult
a Yamaha dealer regarding any
control or function that you do
not thoroughly understand.

8Never start the engine or operate
it in a closed area for any length
of time. Exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous, and inhaling them can
cause loss of consciousness and
death within a short time. Always
make sure that there is adequate
ventilation.
