STARTING THE ENGINE

Before pressing the ignition button, pull the front or rear
brake lever and keep it pulled to start the engine, since
this lever acts on a special ignition consent switch.
The automatic transmission runs the rear wheel,
even when the throttle lever is operated gently.
Gradually release the brake after starting and
use the throttle with care.
Never start the engine in a closed area. Exhaust
fumes are poisonous.
If the engine does not start, release the ignition
switch, wait a few seconds, then try again. Do
not operate the ignition system for more than 10
seconds at each attempt, otherwise the battery
will run flat. To guarantee a long service life of the
engine, do not rev up too roughly when engine is
cold.
The vehicle's fuelling system can handle starting either
on the basis of the engine's conditions (cold/warm) or
on the basis of ambient temperature and pressure.
• Keep the throttle grip at its minimum capacity.
Turn the key ON.
•
• Pull the front or rear brake lever; then press the
electrical starter button (Fig.13).
