If there is a problem you can follow the instructions below:
1. Engine flooded. Place the vehicle on its centre stand and check that the rear wheel
is off the ground. Open the throttle fully and press the starter button for five seconds
and then stop for five seconds. If the engine does not start after a few attempts, let
the engine sit for a few minutes and then repeat the above operations. In any case do
not operate the starter motor longer than 20" in an attempt to start the engine.
2. In the case of battery inefficiency. Place the vehicle on stand «E»; make sure
that the rear wheel is off the ground, turn the key switch «D» to «ON».
3. Empty fuel tank. After refuelling the scooter, start the engine by pressing the starter
button «A» with the throttle at a minimum to provide maximum aspiration for the tap.
If the scooter fails to start even after taking the steps described above, contact an
Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.
CAUTION
ALWAYS PLACE THE VEHICLE ON ITS STAND BEFORE KICK STARTING.
WARNING
TAMPERING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE MALFUNCTION.
AS THE CARBURETTOR IS FITTED WITH AN ACCELERATOR PUMP DO NOT
ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE ENGINE OFF IN ORDER TO AVOID
