Identification (01_15, 01_16) The identification numbers consist of a prefix stamped on the chassis and on the en- gine, followed by a number. They must be quoted when ordering spare parts. We recommend that you check that the prefix and frame number stamped on the vehicle correspond with those in the vehicle documents.
Checks (02_01) Before using the vehicle, check: 1. That the fuel tank is full. 2. Rear hub oil level. 3. Engine oil level (see the «Engine oil level» section). 4. That the tyres are properly inflated. 5. The correct functioning of headlights, rear light and turn indicators. 02_01 6.

8.Remember that any change that modifies the vehicle's performance, such as tam- pering with original structural parts, renders the vehicle not conforming to the approved type and therefore dangerous to ride. CAUTION RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR CERTAIN MEDI- CINES CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ONESELF AND FOR OTHERS.
Engine oil level (03_01) Four stroke engine oil is used in the engines in order to lubricate the timing bodies, the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can seri- ously damage the engine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and certain consumption should be considered normal.
Always check oil level before carrying out top-ups and add oil without exceeding the MAX level. An engine oil check-up and top-up should be carried out every 3,000 km at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_03) The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned to «ON».
Engine oil change (03_04, 03_05, 03_06) Oil must be changed and filter replaced at an Authorised Service Centre (as indi- cated in the Scheduled Maintenance Table). The engine should be emptied by draining the oil through drainage plug «B » of the mesh filter on the flywheel side. In order to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A».
Hub oil level (03_07, 03_08) Check that there is oil in the rear hub; the oil in an upright vehicle should barely reach the notch of the dipstick «A». CAUTION RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH THE IN- ADEQUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING 03_07 PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.
~ 200 cm³ Tyres (03_09) Periodically check the inflation pressure of each tyre (when cold). Tyres are fitted with wear indicators; tyres should be replaced as soon as these indi- cators become visible on the tyre tread. Also check that the tyres do not show signs of splitting at the sides or irregular tread wear;...

WARNING IN NORMAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IT IS ADVISABLE TO REPLACE THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FLUID EVERY 2 YEAR. NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID CON- TAINED IN CONTAINERS WHICH ARE ALREADY OPEN OR PARTIALLY USED. CAUTION 03_13 THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. THEREFORE, WHEN TOPPING UP, AVOID LETTING IT COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE PAINTED PARTS OF THE VEHICLE.
CAUTION ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS SULPHURIC ACID: AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHES. IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT, RINSE WITH ABUN- DANT WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR. CAUTION IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM, NEVER DISCON- NECT THE WIRING WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. DO NOT TIP THE VEHICLE TOO MUCH IN ORDER TO AVOID DANGEROUS LEAKAGE OF THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE.
Long periods of inactivity (03_15) Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging, and may be due to residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness of the poles.

03_36 Front disc brake (03_37) The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or an irregular brake operation.
CAUTION BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE. Rear drum brake (03_38) Operate adjusting nut «B» and loosen lock nut «A» shown in the figure. Note that when the throttle is in idle the wheel should rotate free. After the adjustment, screw lock nut «A».
Inactivity of the vehicle (03_40) The following operations are recommended: 1 - General cleaning of the vehicle 2 - With the engine off and the piston at bottom dead centre position, remove the spark plug and pour 1÷2 cm³ of motor oil through its hole. Operate the starter motor 3-4 times letting the engine perform a few revolutions, then remount the spark plug.
