3.8 BRAKING

• Close the twist grip throttle control and simultaneously pull the
two brake levers gently. Excessive or unbalanced force may cause
the vehicle to skid, with possible dangerous consequences.

3.9 ENGINE STOPPING

• After a long run, we recommend that the engine is run idle for
some moments before turning the key to the OFF position
(Fig. 21).

3.10 ADVICE ON RIDING

• Do not keep the engine running too long when the
vehicle is stationary.
• Do not keep the engine running or in closed or poorly
ventilated areas; exhaust gases are highly toxic.
EN
• Do not make "racing" starts.
• Do not do wheelies, nor zigzagging.
• Do not open the throttle too sharply.
• To avoid damaging the starter, do not press the starter button
when the engine is running.
• The catalytic converter irradiates a big quantity of heat also after
you have just stopped the engine. Therefore it is recommended
to pay attention not to park or stop with the engine idle on grass
or dry leaves.

• Warm the engine well before moving off, by letting it idling.
• On uneven, slippery, unsurfaced, rain-soaked roads, etc.,
use the brakes extremely gently if the "engine brake" is
insufficient.

If the problem persists, contact one of our Vendors/Dealers,

Vendor/Dealer.
