CAUTION TAMPERING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE MALFUNCTION. 02_08 WARNING THE SIDE STAND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CUT OUT EVERY TIME THAT IT IS LOWERED; THIS CONDITION IS INDICATED BY THE RESPECTIVE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. Automatic transmission To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the best performance (acceleration and consumption) while riding on both flat roads and uphill. If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of the clutch mechanism itself against the clutch bell. It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (other than those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting off with driver and passenger at slopes with steepness greater than 25%. 2 Use Observe the following precautions if the clutch overheats:

1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safe driving Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic - free zones, in order to acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle it self.

1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.

2.Reduce speed on rough roads and drive with care.

3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be

poor at the beginning. Given these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes from time to time.

4. Do not brake hard on wet, dirt or slippery road surfaces.

5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when resting on the support. In any case,

the rear wheel should not be turning when in comes into contact with the ground, in order to avoid abrupt departures.

6. When riding along roads covered by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. we

recommend cleaning the brake disc frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in order to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early brake pad wear. CAUTION ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine oil level In 4-stroke engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bushes and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption increases). The replacement frequencies provided for by the maintenance programme are defined, depending on the total contents of oil in the engine and average consumption measured following standardised methods. In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The scooter is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel. Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02) This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and following the procedure below:

1) Rest the scooter on the central stand and on a flat ground.

2) Set the strut that regulates the position to its minimum height.

3 ) Screw off cap/dipstick «A», dry it off with a clean cloth and reinsert it, screwing down completely. 3 Maintenance

4) Remove the cap/dipstick «A» again and check that the level is between the MAX

and MIN marks; top up, if required. 03_01 The MAX level as shown in the figure indicates that there is about 1700 cc of oil in the engine. If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check it is necessary to wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped, so as to get the correct level.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3 Maintenance 03_02 Engine oil top-up Any topping up with oil must be carried out after the oil level check by adding oil, but never exceeding the MAX level. The topping up of the level between MIN and MAX requires approx. 200 cc of oil. Every 5000 km, however, the engine oil level should be checked and topped up, if necessary, at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_03) The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned to the «ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having toppedup the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre. 03_03

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine oil change (03_04, 03_05, 03_06) The engine oil and filter must be replaced every 6,000 km at an Authorised PiaggioGilera Service Centre. The engine should be emptied by draining the oil via the drainage tap «B» of the mesh filter on the transmission side. In order to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A». Unscrew and remove the oil cartridge filter. Install a new oil filter taking care to lubricate the sealing O-rings with engine oil. Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the circuit, add approx. 1500 cc of oil through cap "A". Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top up without exceeding the MAX. level. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top-ups and oil changes, use new oil of the recommended type. CAUTION 03_04 RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADEQUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE. TOPPING UP THE ENGINE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION AND/OR A DROP IN PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE. USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE. 3 Maintenance 03_05 CAUTION USED OILS CONTAIN SUBSTANCES HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. FOR OIL REPLACEMENT, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE, WHICH IS EQUIPPED TO DISPOSE OF USED OILS IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND LEGAL WAY. Recommended products

If the pointer enters into the red zone, stop the engine, let it cool down and check the fluid level; if the result is normal, turn to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. 03_14 The fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the engine is cold, following the methods indicated below. a) Rest the scooter on its centre stand, on flat ground. b) Remove the filler cap cover by loosening the screw shown in the figure. c) Remove the plug from expansion tank "A" by turning it counter clockwise. d) Look into the expansion tank: a mark on the plastic part indicates the maximum and minimum reference of the expansion tank.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3 Maintenance CAUTION e) Top up the cooling fluid if the fluid level is below the minimum level margin inside the expansion tank. The fluid level must always be between MIN and MAX level If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to be carried out when the engine is cold. If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if the expansion tank is completely dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore indispensable to have the cooling system checked at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. 03_15 The coolant should be replaced every 2 years. For this operation, please contact an authorised Piaggio service centre. N.B. IF DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS NOT CORRECT, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE. WARNING 03_16 WHENEVER REFITTING THE EXPANSION TANK FILLER CAP, PLEASE ENSURE IT IS CORRECTLY TIGHTENED SO AS TO AVOID LEAKAGE IN THE CIRCUIT. 3 Maintenance WARNING TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, DO NOT UNSCREW THE EXPANSION TANK COVER WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL HOT. 03_17

WARNING SPENT BATTERIES ARE HARMFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS. Checking the electrolyte level The electrolyte level, which should be checked regularly, must always be at the maximum level. To reach this level, use only distilled water. Should it become necessary to top up the battery with water too frequently, check the scooter's electrical system because the battery is being overloaded, causing it to lose power quickly. CAUTION 3 Maintenance ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS SULPHURIC ACID: AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHES. IN THE CASE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT, RINSE WITH ABUNDANT OF WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the vehicle has not been used for long periods, it is necessary to periodically recharge the battery, bearing in mind that the battery tends to go completely flat within around three months. The battery must be recharged with a current load equal to 1/10 of the battery rated capacity (~ 1A ) for a period not longer than 8 hours. Contact an Authorised Service Centre to carry out this operation safely. When refitting a removed battery, make sure that all terminals and the vent pipe are properly connected. 03_21 Fuses (03_21) The electrical system is equipped with 12 protective fuses for the various circuits on the scooter, subdivided into two fuse boxes located alongside the battery. The chart shows the position and characteristics of the fuses in the vehicle. CAUTION NEVER TRY TO REPLACE A BLOWN FUSE WITH A FUSE OF A DIFFERENT RATING THAN THAT SPECIFIED OR USING OTHER MATERIAL (FOR EXAMPLE, A PIECE OF ELECTRICAL WIRE).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The mirrors can be set to the desired position by adjusting the mirror frame. 03_35 Front and rear disc brake The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly due to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be taken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. CAUTION THE BRAKING ACTION SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE. CAUTION HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE CHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAKE SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYS71 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3 Maintenance Rear-view mirrors (03_35) TEM CHECKED BY A PIAGGIO DEALER OR AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE. AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER BEFORE HAVING USED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE PISTONS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE CORRECT POSITION. CAUTION THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THE ROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE DURATION OF THE BRAKE PADS. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS. Puncture The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of a puncture, contrary to the situation with a tyre with inner tube, the tyre deflates more slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, it is admissible to make an emergency repair using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair, take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a tyre involves removing the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer for these operations. 3 Maintenance CAUTION TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY PROPERLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLY BALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS. Periods of inactivity (03_36) We recommend carrying out the following operations:

1. Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;

2. With engine off and piston at the bottom dead centre, remove the spark plug, fill

with 1÷2 cm³ of oil (adding more than this quantity is dangerous for the engine). Operate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly, then insert the spark plug again; 03_36

3. Drain all the fuel from the scooter; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal

parts; keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;

4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the «Battery» section.
