Stopping the engine (02_06)

Stop acceleration, then turn the key switch "D" to "OFF " to turn off the engine (ex-

tractable key).

CAUTION

DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAN

REACH, ALWAYS TAKE CARE, WHEN PARKING THE SCOOTER, THAT THE

EXHAUST DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,

TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS.

Automatic transmission

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-

mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to give the best

possible performance in terms of both acceleration and consumption, on level ground

and uphill, thanks to the adjustments made to engine speed and transmitted torque.

If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) only use the brake

to keep the vehicle still, leaving the motor running at idling speed. Using the motor to

keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat. This problem is due to the

friction of the clutch parts on the clutch bell. It is therefore recommended to avoid

conditions of prolonged clutch slippage leading to clutch overheating (for example, as

well as the situation described above, riding uphill fully laden on steep slopes or start-

ing off on slopes greater than 25%, etc.):

1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.

2. Let the clutch cool down with the motor at idling speed for a few minutes.
