2) Starting facility when cold.
3) Light ignition and combustion of the fuel.
4) Higher life of the spark - plugs because of a smaller electrodes wear.

5) Unalterability, during the time, of the ignition advance because the traditional mechanical devices exposed to the wear (as the contact breaker cam, contact breaker, sliding block etc.) are not longer present.

SECURITY LOCK1. - Steering lock.a) Locking the handlebarsb) Unlocking the handlebars	To lock the vehicle, turn the handlebars anticlockwise up to the limit stop; rotate the key anticlockwise and push inwards. So that it thrusts the sliding bar against the steering column (see fig. 3).To ease the insertion of the sliding bar into the hole of the steering column, slightly turn the handlebars from the limit stop clockwise. When the handlebars are locked the key will now spring back to its original position and can then be withdrawn.To release the handlebars, insert the key in the lock, turn it to the left and pull it back; then turn the handlebars in the normal position.	The vehicle is provided with two security locks, the one relates to the steering column and the other one for locking the front tool box. Both operated by the same key.The key can be extracted from the lock even if the handlebars are free.The security locks should not be lubricated, eventually use colloidal graphite.scooterh

ADJUSTMENT ON CARBURETTOR

For adjusting the idling turn the slow running adjuster screw (on the air cleaner cover) (Fig. 9, n. 5).

— On the carburettor body a set screw is provided for adjusting the throttle cable play; this screw is to be reset only if necessary or on dismantling and reassembly operations.

— On the air cleaner case, opposite to said screw, is a plugged hole. When this plug is removed the spring loaded idler adjusting screw is accessible (Fig. 9, n. 14).

To avoid carburations troubles, we recommend that this adjustment is carried out by a Vespa dealer.

STARTING UP when the engine is floo- ded:

In the case of difficulties caused by flooding (presence of unvaporised mixture in the cylinder), the following methods can be used:

— Attempt push starting: engage the 2nd gear, declutch, push the vehicle to a certain speed, sharply release the clutch and when the engine fires declutch immediately.

— Close the fuel tap, remove the sparking plug (page 23) and clean; then kick over the engine several times. Screw in the sparking plug securely open the fuel tap and start the engine

SETTING THE HEADLAMP	The correct setting of the main beam can be obtained both horizontally and vertically as follows:Check that both front and rear tyres are inflated to correct pressure; i. e. 1.2 and 2.5 Kg/cm^2 (15.5 and 35.5 p.s.i.). Place the scooter on a level floor in front of a white wall as seen in Fig. 19. Start the engine, hold the throttle control twist grip at about 1/3 and set the switch on « main beam ». With two persons on the Vespa, slacken the screws securing the headlamp, then move the latter as required, in order that the beam axis coincides with point « + » on the wall. Tighten the screws firmly.	Do not wipe down with a cloth or contact with finger the reflector.This operation can be carried out also with the driver only sitting on the machine. In this case, of course, the beam alignement should be altered whenever the scooter is bee-ing ridden by both driver and passenger.

MAINTENANCE

Though the electronic ignition provides a regular running of the engine also when the spark plug is dirty or the electrodes setting is not correct, when difficulties of ignition occur, check the spark plug: clean in neat gasoline (petrol) and wire brush (or emery cloth) the electrodes; adjust the gap 0.6 mm (0".023). Check porcelain insulation: if cracked or broken change plug.

It is advisable not to change the type of spark plug as recommended by the manufacturer.

Every 4000 Km (2400 mls):

1) - Check oil level in gear box (Fig. 16).
2) - De-coke the engine (cylinder head, piston crown and cylinder ports, see at page 25). Ensure that not residual carbon deposits remain inside the cylinder.

Clean the exhaust pipe using a hooked steel wire.

3) - Grease front hub through the appropriate nipples and lubricate the speedometer drive and transmission, the brake lever and gear selector.
4) - Remove the air filter, (see page 21), clean by agitating in an oil gasoline (petrol) bath and if possible air blast dry.

Every 8000 Km (4800 mls):

1) - Change oil in gear box (see page 23). The oil should be changed also after the first 1000 Km.
2) - Lubricate control cables transmissions and felt lubricating pad on flywheel.

(Consult your Service - Station).

3) - If the engine runs irregularly or in any case the performances are reduced, consult your Service - Station.

CLEANING THE VEHICLE

Notice:

Washing and polishing operations should not be carried out in the sun, particularly during the summer when the bodywork is warm.

Under no circumstances should petrol or Diesel oil be used for washing painted surfaces or plastic material as they will deteriorate.

Always wash the scooter before polishing.

1) Engine

For cleaning the exposed surface of the engine use paraffin, a brush and clean rags.

2) Bodywork.

— Washing.

Painted parts should be washed down using a low pressure hose. Do not use a high pressure system as grit may be forced into the paint.

When the dirt and grime becomes soft, sponge off using one of the « car type » shampoos available (use a product of the type Rolene and Teepol, which are employed in aqueous solution, 3 ÷ 5% by weight). First, lightly wash the painted surface of the scooter, in order to avoid scratching. Thoroughly rinse with plenty of water. Dry off using a clean chamois leather to eliminate water marks.

— Spots.

To remove spots caused by tar, grease, insects, etc, rub gently with a soft cloth dipped in oil or turpentine. More persistent marks can be removed with a solution of warm water and car shampoo. Carry out this procedure periodically, to eliminate permanent paintwork damage.

— Polishing.

If after washing, as previously described, the original condition is not restored, apply evenly a thin coat of good quality wax polish and shine with a soft cloth, rubbing gently in a side to side manner.
