For the first 800 km (500 miles) travelled, do not exceed 6000 rpm. Between 800 km (500 mi) and 1600 km (1000 mi) travelled, ride more vigourously, vary speeds and twist throttle fully for some short periods for best coupling of the components; do not exceed 9000 rpm. After 1600 km (1000 miles) a better engine performance may be expected, but without exceeding the engine maximum rpm power of 11000 rpm. Starting up the engine (03_03, 03_04, 03_05, 03_06, 03_07) Make sure light switch (2) is set to "low-beam". The red warning light signalling "mixer oil reserve" in the instrument panel comes on.

[. . . ] Check that at a point between pinion and crown on the lower branch of the chain, vertical oscillation is about 25 - 20 mm (0. 98 in) Move the vehicle forward so as to check the chain vertical oscillation in other positions too. Backslash should remain constant during all wheel rotation phases. Checking wear of chain, front and rear sprockets (04_29) Also check the following parts and verify that the chain, the pinion and the crown do not have: · Lubricate the chain whenever necessary and, at least, every 500 km (310.
