INTERRUPTEUR DES FEUX CLIGNOTANTS

Fuel is extremely flammable. Always refuel in an open area and away from all fire sources (cigarettes, sparks,

open flames) after switching off the engine.

While refuelling, stop the fuel from coming into cont act with the hoi engine surfaces as it may flare up. If any fuel is spilt while refuelling, carefully wipe the fuel filler before starling the engine. Be sure lo close the tank cap tight after refuelling.

Never fill the tank to the rim as the heat of the sun causes fuel vapors to increase in volume.

Prevent the fuel from coming into contact with the eyes or the skin. In case of contact wash generously with running water. Do not inhale the fuel fumes. Avoid ingesting fuel.

The filler cap is located under the saddle. The fuel tank capacity is 7.5 litres. Only use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane number of 95 RON/85 MON.

The warning light (1) located in the dashboard dial (Fig.1) lights up when the autonomy of operation left is about 40 Km.

The engine is lubricated by a mixture of oil and fuel. Top up when the mixer oil reserve warning light, red colour, located on the dashboard left side (Fig.1), lights up.

The mixer oil level warning light (1) goes on when about 100 ml of oil, sufficient for about 100 km, are left in the reservoir.

When the light goes on, top up with oil as soon as possible to avoid the engine seizing.

Driving the scooter without oil will cause irreparable damage to the engine. If the oil runs out completely

and/or the oil tube is removed, immediately apply to a Benelli Dealer or Authorized Workshop for the necessary drainage operations.

Used oil contains substances that are harmful to the environment. We recommend having the oil renewed by a

Benelli Authorized Service Centre, which is equipped for the disposal of used oils in compliance with the regulations in force.

MARMITTA CATALITICA

The catalytic muffler reaches high temperatures.

• Avoid parking the vehicle near inflamma bles.
• Do not park the vehicle in places within the reach of children.
  • Take care not to touch the muffler unless it has cooled down completely.

The muffler function is to extract the exhaust gas from the cylinder, cool them and emit them to the outside, as well as to reduce the sound pollution (noise) within the limits stated by the Euro regulations. Check the exhaust gas outlet every 3500 Km.

Never use leaded gasoline as it will cause the catalyst poisoning making it inefficient.

Tables of scheduled maintenance and checks

WARNING

• Impropriety or lack of recommended maintenance operations can lead to an increase of the risk of accidents and damage to the motorcycle.
  • Always use genuine Benelli Q.J. spare parts. Using non-genuine spare parts can accelerate the wear of your motorcycle and shorten its life.
• Failure to perform the recommended operations, as well as using non-genuine spare parts, can cause the unoperativeness of the legal guaranty.
  To replace or top up the lubricants and fluids of your motorcycle, use only the suitable products.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Benelli Q.J., in order to protect the interests of the community, awakens Customers and the Technical Assistance operators to use the vehicle and dispose of its replaced parts respecting the laws in force concerning environmental pollution and waste disposal and recycling.

Themainperiodicchecksandmaintenanceoperationsareshowninthefollowingtables. Theseoperationsare necessarytokeepthemotorcyclesafeandinperfectrunningorder.

The intervals indicated in the periodic maintenance and lubrication tables must be intended as a general guide under normal riding conditions. It could be necessary to reduce these intervals according to the climate, the ground conditions, the geographic position and the conditions of use. Some of the operations can be carried out by the user, providing he or she possesses the requisite skills and, however, only when explicitly scheduled in this Owner's Manual. In any other case have the operations performed by a Benelli Authorized Workshop, whose list is available on the web site www.benelli.com or calling the Benelli Couser Service dialling +39 0721.418740.

As a rule maintenance operations must be performed while the scooter is on the rear stand after switching off the engine and setting the start switch to OFF. On the contrary, while checking the fluid levels it is advisable to keep the motorcycle in an upright position without using the rear stand.

Tables of scheduled maintenance

NOTE :

• The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed instead.
• From 14.000 Km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10.500 Km.
• Items marked with an " ☐" should be performed by a Benelli dealer as they require special tools, data and technical skills.

Under normal conditions, the fork of your vehicle requires no maintenance.

However, it is advisable to periodically perform the following simple checks:

• If, during normal use, the fork sometimes reaches its travel end, have the oil level in the fork rods checked.
• Place the vehicle on the stand and repeatedly shake the fork backwards and forwards. If the play is excessive, have the steering play adjusted.

In either case contact a Benelli Dealer or Authorized Workshop.

SUSPENSIONS

The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid, an extremely corrosive and toxic substance. Contact with the skin causes serious burns. When maintaining the battery, always wear protective clothes, rubber gloves, a face guard and goggles. Recharge the battery in a ventilated place to avoid inhaling the fumes during the operation.

If the battery electrolyte comes into contact with the skin, immediately rinse with plenty of running water. If it comes into contact with the eyes, wash generously with running water for 15 minutes and immediately seek medical attention. Should the electrolyte be inadvertently ingested, drink plenty of water or milk and immediately seek medical attention.

The battery gives out explosive gases. Do not keep it near flames, sparks, cigarettes and any other fire or heat sources. Ensure that the battery breather is not obstructed.

Before recharging the battery, check the electrolyte level. Top up if necessary.

- Remove all the caps.

• Connect the battery to a battery charger: optimum recharging is achieved with amperage equal to 1/10 of the battery capacity.
  • After recharging, check the electrolyte tevel again. When the vehicle is to remain inactive for a long period, remove the battery and place it in a cool and dry place. Check the charge at least once a month to prevent the battery from deteriorating.

During recharging, make sure the area

is adequately ventilated and avoid

inhaling the fumes from the battery. Reinstall the battery 5-10 minutes after the charger has been switched off. This precaution is necessary because the battery continues to produce gas for a short time.

On reassembling the battery to the

scooter, alway connect the breather pipe of the battery to prevent the sulphuric acid vapors from corroding the rubber and plastic parts and the electrical system.
