MAINTENANCE
Before beginning any maintenance oper-
ation or any inspection of the vehicle,
stop the engine, extract the key from the
ignition block, if possible lift the vehicle by
means of the proper equipment, on firm and flat
ground.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the engine
and of the exhaust system, in order to avoid
burns.
The vehicle is made up of not edible
parts. Never bite, suck, chew or swallow
any part of the vehicle for any reason.
To carry out maintenance operations a basic knowl-
edge of mechanics and sometimes specific tools and
technical training are required.
If you need assistance or technical advice consult,
when possible, your aprilia Official Dealer, who can
ensure you quick and careful servicing.
After any maintenance operation, carry out the pre-
liminary checking operations (see the "PRELIMI-
NARY CHECKING OPERATIONS" table - page 43).
