Be a Responsible Owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are re-
sponsible for the safe and proper op-
eration of your scooter.
Scooters are single-track vehicles.
Their safe use and operation are de-
pendent upon the use of proper riding
techniques as well as the expertise of
the operator. Every operator should
know the following requirements be-
fore riding this scooter.
He or she should:
Obtain thorough instructions from
a competent source on all as-
pects of scooter operation.
Observe the warnings and main-
tenance requirements in this
Owner’s Manual.
Obtain qualifi ed training in safe
and proper riding techniques.
Obtain professional technical ser-
vice as indicated in this Owner’s
Manual and/or when made nec-
essary by mechanical conditions.
Never operate a scooter without
proper training or instruction.
Take a training course. Beginners
should receive training from a
certifi ed instructor. Contact an au-
thorized scooter dealer to fi nd out
about the training courses near-
est you.
Safe Riding
Perform the pre-operation checks
each time you use the vehicle to make
sure it is in safe operating condition.
Failure to inspect or maintain the ve-
hicle properly increases the possibility
of an accident or equipment damage.
See page 4-2 for a list of pre-opera-
tion checks.
This scooter is designed to carry
the operator only. No passen-
gers.
The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize scooters in traf-
c is the predominating cause
of automobile/scooter accidents.
Many accidents have been
caused by an automobile driver
who did not see the scooter. Mak-
ing yourself conspicuous appears
to be very effective in reducing
the chance of this type of acci-
dent.
Therefore:
Wear a brightly colored jacket.
Use extra caution when you
are approaching and passing
through intersections, since in-
tersections are the most likely
places for scooter accidents to
occur.
Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
Never maintain a scooter with-
out proper knowledge. Contact
an authorized scooter dealer
to inform you on basic scooter
maintenance. Certain mainte-
nance can only be carried out
by certifi ed staff.
Many accidents involve inexpe-
rienced operators. In fact, many
operators who have been in-
volved in accidents do not even
have a current driver’s license.
• Make sure that you are quali-
ed and that you only lend your
scooter to other qualifi ed op-
