wBecause loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety character-
istics of your scooter, you should
keep the following precautions in
mind.
8NEVER OVERLOAD THE
SCOOTER! Operation of an
overloaded scooter may result
in tire damage, loss of control,
or severe injury. Make sure
that the total weight of rider,
cargo, and accessories does
not exceed the specified maxi-
mum load for the vehicle.
8Do not carry along loosely
packed items, which can shift
during a ride.
8Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
scooter and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
8Adjust the suspension and tire
air pressure with regard to the
load.
EW000082
w8The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the tempera-
ture of the tires equals the
ambient temperature).
8The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with the
total weight of rider, passen-
ger, cargo, and accessories
approved for this model.
