Only an expert can guarantee correct assembly. Work not done by your specialist dealer, would void
any warranty claims.
When inflating the tyres, always check that the pressure is correct. The correct pressure is given on
the tyre walls.
Use only inflating equipment which complies with regulations and indicates the pressure in bar. We do
not accept any liability for damage caused by using inflation equipment not supplied by the
manufacturer.

Thermal fuses
To protect the motor against overload, your scooter comes with a thermal safety mechanism that will
automatically cut the motor to prevent overheating and thus rapid wear and tear or breakdowns. You
can access the thermal safety device through a gap in back of the synthetic cover. For those models
that have no synthetic cover, the thermal safety mechanism will be located on the battery boxes.
The thermal safety device can go loose if you go up or down slopes that exceed the maximum
gradient indicated. Nominal loads that exceed the maximum permitted could also cause the device to
jump out. Likewise, if you keep on driving with the engine brake on, it could result in overload. The
maximum values not to exceed are indicated in the chapter on "Technical Details" of the
corresponding manual.
To be able to use the scooter again, remove the overload and wait till the motor has cooled off. Then
gently press the thermal safety mechanism back in. Your scooter is now ready for use again.
3.9
Tip protectors
A tip protector fixed to the frame is part of the standard equipment. It is thus not possible to remove it.
The tip protector is there for your safety. It prevents the scooter from tipping over backward when you
drive over small obstacles that do NOT exceed the maximum height specified.
3.10 Changing the battery
L
CAUTION: Risk of burns - Do not come in contact with the acid from the batteries. See for
