CATALYTIC SILENCER
Avoid parking the vehicle
catalytic version near dry brush
wood or in places easily
accessible to children, as the catalytic
silencer becomes extremely hot during
use; be very careful and avoid any kind
of contact before it has completely
cooled down.
The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a
silencer with metal catalytic converter of
the “platinum-rhodium bivalent” type.
This device provides for the oxidation of
the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC
(unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the
exhaust gases, changing them into carbon
dioxide and steam, respectively.
Do not use leaded petrol, since it
causes the destruction of the
catalytic converter.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before departure, always carry
out a preliminary checking of the
vehicle to make sure that it
functions correctly and safely, see the
following table (PRELIMINARY
CHECKING OPERATIONS). The non-
performance of these checking
operations can cause severe personal
injuries or damages to the vehicle.
Do not hesitate to consult your aprilia
Official Dealer in case there is
something you do not understand
about the functioning of some controls
or in case you suspect or discover
some irregularities.
It does not take long to carry out a
check-up and this operation ensures
you much more safety.
