Safety guidelines
- If work can only be done on the vehicle with the engine running, make sure that the premises are well
ventilated, using special extractor fans if necessary; never let the engine run in an enclosed area.
Exhaust gasses are toxic.
The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, clothes and skin. Sulphuric acid is
highly corrosive; in the event of contact with your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with abundant water
and seek immediate medical attention.
The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparks or
flames near the battery, especially when charging it.
Petrol is highly flammable and it can be explosive given some conditions. Do not smoke in the working
area, and avoid open flames or sparks.
- Clean the blocks, the drums, and pads in a well ventilated area, directing the jet of compressed air in
such a way that you do not breathe in the dust produced by the wear of the blocks. Dust caused by
shoe wear is toxic since it contains asbestos.
Maintenance guidelines
Use original PIAGGIO spare parts and lubricants recommended by the Manufacturer. Non-original or
non-conforming spares may damage the vehicle.
Use only the appropriate tools designed for this vehicle. Always use new gaskets, sealing rings and
split pins upon refitting.
After removing these components, clean them using a non-flammable or high flash-point solvent. Lu-
bricate all the work surfaces except the tapered couplings before refitting.
After refitting, make sure that all the components have been installed correctly and work properly.
For disassembly, overhaul and refit operations use only tools with metric measures. Metric bolts, nuts
and screws are not interchangeable with coupling members with English measurement. Using unsuit-
able coupling members and tools may damage the scooter.
When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, make sure
the electrical connections have been made properly, particularly the ground connections.
