SAFETY WARNINGS The following precautionary warnings are used throughout this manual in order to convey the following messages: Safety warning. When you find this symbol on the vehicle or in the manual, be careful to the potential risk of personal injury. [. . . ] RUNNING-IN The running-in of the engine is important to ensure its correct functioning. If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in. In this way the components are first ìloadedî and then ìrelievedî and the engine parts can thus cool down. Even if it is important to stress the engine components during running-in, take care not to exceed. Only after the first 1500 km (937 mi) of running-in you can expect the best performance levels from the vehicle. Keep to the following indications: Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low, both during and after the running-in. N During the first 100 km (62 mi) put on the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings. This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc. N During the first 800 km (500 mi) never exceed 6000 rpm. After the first 1000 km (625 mi) , carry out the checking operations indicated in the column "After running-in" of the REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see page 44 (REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART), in order to avoid hurting yourself or other people and/or damaging the vehicle. Between the first 800 km (500 mi) and 1600 km (1000 mi) drive more briskly, change speed and use the maximum acceleration only for a few seconds, in order to ensure better coupling of the components; never exceed 9000 rpm (see table). N After the first 1600 km (1000 mi) you can expect better performance from the engine, however, without exceeding the max 11000 rpm. A), gradually put on the brakes and at the same time shift down in order to decrease the speed, see page 38 (DEPARTURE AND DRIVE). Once the speed has decreased, before stopping the vehicle: N Pull the clutch lever (2) in order to prevent the stopping of the engine. When the vehicle has come to rest: N Position the shifting lever in neutral (green warning light " " on). N In case of a brief stop, keep at least one brake on. SUGGESTIONS TO PREVENT THEFT NEVER leave the ignition key inserted and always use the steering lock. Park the vehicle in a safe place, possibly in a garage or a protected place. When possible, use an additional anti-theft device. Make sure that all documents are in order and the road tax has been paid. Write down your personal data and telephone number in this page, to facilitate the identification of the owner in case of finding after theft. PARKING Park the vehicle on firm and flat ground, to prevent it from falling down. [. . . ] LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY If the vehicle remains unused for more than 20 days, disconnect the 20A fuse, in order to avoid the battery deterioration resulting from the current consumption due to the multifunction computer. After a long period of inactivity of the vehicle some precautions are necessary to avoid any problem. Further, it is important to carry out the necessary repairs and a general check up before the period of inactivity, since you could forget to carry them out later. N Extract the spark plug and pour a teaspoon (5-10 cm>) of two-stroke engine oil into the cylinder. [. . . ]
