an electric failure could result,
which could cause a dangerous
loss of lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
• Always turn the engine off
when refueling.
• Take care not to spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.
• Never refuel while smoking or
in the vicinity of an open flame.
Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poi-
sonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within
a short time. Always operate your
scooter in an area that has ade-
quate ventilation.
Always turn the engine off before
leaving the scooter unattended
and remove the key from the
main switch. When parking the
scooter, note the following:
• The engine and exhaust sys-
tem may be hot, therefore,
park the scooter in a placewhere pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch these hot
areas.
• Do not park the scooter on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise
it may fall over.
• Do not park the scooter near a
flammable source (e.g., a kero-
sene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.
If you should swallow any gasoli-
ne, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immedia-
tely. If any gasoline spills on your
skin or clothing, immediately
wash the affected area with soap
and water and change your clot-
hes.
EAU10371
Further safe-riding points
Be sure to signal clearly when
making turns.
Braking can be extremely difficult
on a wet road. Avoid hard bra-
king, because the scooter could
slide. Apply the brakes slowlywhen stopping on a wet surface.
Slow down as you approach a
corner or turn. Once you have
completed a turn, accelerate
slowly.
Be careful when passing parked
cars. A driver might not see you
and open a door in your path.
Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road cons-
truction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Slow down and
cross them with caution. Keep
the scooter upright, otherwise it
could slide out from under you.
The brake pads could get wet
when you wash the scooter. After
washing the scooter, check the
brakes before riding.
Always wear a helmet, gloves,
trousers (tapered around the cuff
and ankle so they do not flap),
and a bright colored jacket.
Do not carry too much luggage
on the scooter. An overloaded
scooter is unstable.

Care
While the open design of a scooter
reveals the attractiveness of the tech-
nology, it also makes it more vulnera-
ble. Rust and corrosion can develop
even if high-quality components are
used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go
unnoticed on a car, however, it
detracts from the overall appearance
of a scooter. Frequent and proper
care does not only comply with the
terms of the warranty, but it will also
keep your scooter looking good,
extend its life and optimize its perfor-
mance.
Before cleaning
1. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag after the engine has
cooled down.
2. Make sure that all caps and
covers as well as all electrical
couplers and connectors, inclu-
ding the spark plug cap, are
tightly installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such pro-ducts onto seals, gaskets and
wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt
and degreaser off with water.
Cleaning
ECA10780
CAUTION:
Avoid using strong acidic whe-
el cleaners, especially on spo-
ked wheels. If such products
are used on hard-to-remove
dirt, do not leave the cleaner on
the affected area any longer
than instructed. Also, tho-
roughly rinse the area off with
water, immediately dry it, and
then apply a corrosion protec-
tion spray.
Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or spon-
ge with mild detergent and
water to clean plastic.
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent orthinner, fuel (gasoline), rust
removers or inhibitors, brake
fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.
Do not use high-pressure was-
hers or steam-jet cleaners sin-
ce they cause water seepage
and deterioration in the follo-
wing areas: seals (of wheel and
swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
For scooters equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or scrat-
ching. Some cleaning com-
pounds for plastic may leave
scratches on the windshield.
Test the product on a small hid-
den part of the windshield to
make sure that it does not lea-
ve any marks. If the windshield
is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound
after washing.
