Starting The Engine - Malaguti Madison3 125ie Manual De Uso

4.3 STARTING THE ENGINE

The vehicle features an ignition disabling system that is operated
by the sidestand and by the emergency stop switch.
The engine cannot be started if the sidestand is down or if the
emergency stop button is turned OFF.
If the engine is already running, it will go off when the sidestand is
operated or if the emergency stop switch is turned OFF.
The OFF position of the emergency stop button is signalled by a warning
1
light on the digital instrument board (4 - Fig. 17, page 14).
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.
2
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
3
care.
If the tank is empty, do not operate the «START» button
and do not turn the key «ON» as this would damage the
4
injection system (250cc version only).
Never start the engine in a closed area. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous.
5
If the engine does not start, release the ignition switch,
wait a few seconds, then try again. Do not operate the
6
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.
26
In order to ensure maximum battery life, we recommend
you to turn the engine on with the lights switched off.
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.
• Make sure switch A Fig. 19 is in engine starting position
that the sidestand is up.
• Pull the front or rear brake lever; then press the electrical starter
button C Fig.19.
Checking warning light of engine oil pressure sensor
(automatic).
When turning the ignition key to
before the vehicle is started, the message "OIL bar" should ap-
pear on the display for about 8 seconds to signal that the engine
oil pressure sensor is working; the "OIL bar" message must dis-
appear when the vehicle sets off. Should the message not appear
on the display, check the engine oil level before starting the vehi-
cle and have the vehicle checked by an Authorised MALAGUTI
Service Centre as soon as possible.
