SIDE
Push the projection of the stand «L» with your foot; maintain the stand fully extractedwhile simultaneously leaning the scooter onto it.
CAUTION
THE SIDE STAND HAS A SAFETY MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS IT TO RETRACTAS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT BACK TO A VERTICAL POSITION.
Automatictransmission
To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the
32
2 U
se
best performance (acceleration and consumption) while driving on both flat roads anduphill.
If you have to stop up a hill (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keepthe vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine tokeep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of theclutch mechanism itself against the capstan.
It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (otherthan those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or startingoff with driver and passenger at slopes greater than 25%.
Take the following precautions if the clutch overheats:
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.
Safedriving
Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a dailybasis, confidently and safely. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basisof safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones to familiarisewith it.
1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.
2.Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.
3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can bepoor at the beginning. Under these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakesfrom time to time.
4. Do not brake hard on wet, dirt or slippery road surfaces.
5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when resting on the support. In any case,the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground, inorder to avoid abrupt departures.
33
2 Use
6. When riding along roads covered by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. Werecommend cleaning the brake disc frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in orderto prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause earlybrake pad wear.
CAUTION
ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICINES IS EXTREMELY DAN-GEROUS.
CAUTION
IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTERADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. ADDING ACCES-SORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE THE VEHICLE'S STABILITY, PERFORM-ANCE AND SAFETY DURING USE.
WARNING
NEVER RIDE THE SCOOTER EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORIES (TOP BOX AND/OR WINDSHIELD) AT A SPEED HIGHER THAN 100 km/h.
THE SCOOTER CAN BE RIDDEN AT A HIGHER SPEED WITHOUT THE ACCES-SORIES MENTIONED BEFORE WITHIN THE LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY LAW.
IF THERE ARE ANY NON-PIAGGIO ACCESSORIES INSTALLED, OR AN AB-NORMAL LOAD, OR IF THE SCOOTER IS NOT IN A GENERALLY GOOD CON-DITION, OR WHENEVER WEATHER CONDITIONS DEMAND IT, SPEED SHOULDBE FURTHER REDUCED.

Engineoillevel
In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the benchbearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause seriousdamage to the engine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil perform-ance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularlyreflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oilconsumption increases). In order to prevent any problems, we recommend check-ing the oil level any time you use the vehicle. The vehicle is, however, equippedwith an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.
03_01
Engineoillevelcheck (03_01)
Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when theengine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level shouldbe somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level rod; «A»; duringthe oil check, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even, horizontalsurface.
If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hotengine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.
CharacteristicEngine oil (oil and oil filters change)
Capacity: 1.0 l
Engineoiltop-up
Any topping up with oil must be carried out after the oil level check by adding oil, butnever exceeding the MAX level. The topping up of the level between MIN andMAX requires approx. 200 cc of oil. Every 5000 km, however, the engine oil level

should be checked and topped up, if necessary, at an Authorised Piaggio ServiceCentre.
03_02
Warninglight(insufficientoilpressure) (03_02)
The scooter is equipped with a warning light «H» that lights up when the key is turnedto «ON».
However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started.
If the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it isnecessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If, after having toppedup the oil, the warning light keeps on turning on while braking, at idling speedor while turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Author-ised Piaggio Service Centre.
03_03
Engineoilchange (03_03, 03_04)
The oil and cartridge filter «C» should be replaced every 6,000 km (125 cc) or 12,000Km (250 cc) at an Authorized Piaggio Service Centre. The engine should be emp-tied by draining the oil from the filter drainage tap «B» on the flywheel side. In orderto facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/bar. Since a certain quantity of oil remainsin the circuit still, the fill-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of oil fromcap «A». Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off:after around 5 minutes, check the level and top up if necessary without ever ex-ceeding the MAX level. The cartridge filter should be replaced every time the oil ischanged. For top ups and replacements use new oil of the recommended type.

Secondaryairsystem (03_18, 03_19)
In order to reduce polluting emissions, the vehicle is furnished with a catalytic con-verter in the muffler.
To favour the catalytic process, an extra amount of oxygen is added to the exhaustthrough a secondary air system (SAS).
This system allows more oxygen to be added to the unburned gas before it reachesthe converter, thus improving the action of the catalytic converter.
The air enters the head through an exhaust tube and is purified by 2 filters, one internal"A" and one external "B".
The system is provided with a control valve that prevents its functioning while decel-erating, to avoid unwanted noise.
To ensure the best functioning of the SAS system, every two years the scooter shouldbe taken to an authorised Piaggio service centre to have the filters cleaned (Sched-uled maintenance section).

Coolingfluidlevel (03_20, 03_21, 03_22, 03_23)
The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuitcontains approx. 1.8 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% demineralisedwater and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors.
The liquid supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.
For the engine to work properly, the coolant temperature must range between a min-imum value of 60 °C and a maximum value of 105 °C, as indicated by the instrument"D" on the analogue instrument panel by coloured references. If the pointer enters intothe red zone, stop the engine, let it cool down and check the fluid level; if the result isnormal, turn to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.
The fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the engine is cold,following the methods indicated below.
a) Rest the scooter on its centre stand, on flat ground.
b) Remove the filler cap cover by loosening the screw shown in the figure.
c) Remove the plug from expansion tank "A" by turning it counter clockwise.
d) Look into the expansion tank: a mark on the plastic part indicates the maximum andminimum reference of the expansion tank.

e) Top up the cooling fluid if the fluid level is below the minimum level margin insidethe expansion tank.
The fluid level must always be between MIN and MAX level
If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to be carriedout when the engine is cold. If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if theexpansion tank is completely dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system.It is therefore indispensable to have the cooling system checked at an AuthorisedPiaggio Service Centre.
The coolant should be replaced every 2 years. For this operation, please contact anauthorised Piaggio service centre.
N.B.
IF DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT COMESON, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN. THEN CHECKTHE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS NOT CORRECT, CONTACT AN AU-THORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
