The immobilizer system
In order to enhance theft protection, the scooter is equipped with a PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when the starter key is removed. Upon start-up, the PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER system checks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the immobilizer system allow the scooter to be started.
Keys (01_24, 01_25, 01_26)
Two types of keys come with the vehicle. The red-handgrip key "A" is the "MASTER" key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program all your other keys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance operations. For this reason it is advised that it be used only in exceptional circumstances. The black key "B" (single copy supplied) is used for normal operations such as: - engine start up - glove-box opening
Together with the keys comes a CODE CARD which is imprinted with the mechanical code of the keys.

WARNING

LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE 'PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER' SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT. WARNING
01_25 KEEP THE 'CODE CARD' AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT ON YOUR VEHICLE).
Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_27)
The enabling of the PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER system is indicated by the flashing of a special led U, (see Analogue instrument panel). To prevent discharging the battery, the led automatically turns off after about 48 hours of continuous operation. In the event of system failure, the indicator led informs the Authorised Piaggio Service Centre of the nature of the failure, based on the type of flashes emitted. 01_27

Stand (02_10)

CENTRE STAND Push with your foot on the centre stand's fork F while lifting the vehicle backward, holding onto the handlebar.
SIDE Push with your foot on the fork of the stand "L" to bring it into the open position while lifting the scooter at the same time. CAUTION
TAMPERING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE MALFUNCTION. 02_10 WARNING THE SIDE STAND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CUT OUT EVERY TIME THAT IT IS LOWERED; THIS CONDITION IS INDICATED BY THE RESPECTIVE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.
Automatic transmission (02_11)
To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the best performance (acceleration and consumption) while riding on both flat roads and uphill. If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the friction of the clutch mechanism itself against the clutch bell. 02_11 It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (other than those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting off with driver and passenger at slopes with steepness greater than 25%. Observe the following precautions if the clutch overheats: 1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.

Safe driving (02_12)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your scooter on a daily basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of a safe ride. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic - free zones, in order to acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle it self. 1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly. 2.Reduce speed on rough roads and drive with care. 3. After driving on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, the braking effect is initially lower. In these conditions, it is a good idea to apply the brakes from time to time. 4. Do not brake hard on wet, unsurfaced or slippery road surfaces. 5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when resting on the support. In any case, the rear wheel should not be turning when in comes into contact with the ground, in order to avoid abrupt departures. 6. If driving over roads affected by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. We advise you to frequently clean the brake disc with a mild detergent to prevent the accumulation of abrasive elements inside the eyelets leading to premature wear on the brake pads. CAUTION

Air filter cleaning
1. Wash the sponge with water and neutral soap. 2. Dry it with a clean cloth and small blasts of compressed air. 3. Impregnate the sponge with a mixture of 50% petrol and 50% specified oil. 4. Gently squeeze the filter element, let it drip and then refit it. CAUTION
IF THE VEHICLE IS USED ON DUSTY ROADS, IT IS NECESSARY TO SERVICE THE AIR FILTER MORE OFTEN TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE.
AGIP FILTER OIL Oil for air filter sponge Mineral oil with specific additives for increased adhesiveness
Secondary air system (03_15, 03_16, 03_17)
In order to reduce polluting emissions, the vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter. The catalysis is aided by the admission of fresh air, depurated through the Secondary Air System (SAS), inside the exhaust duct directly on the cylinder head. Such system provides an addition of oxygen to the unburnt gases before entering the catalytic converter, thus allowing for improved process effectiveness. 03_15 Irregular noises are prevented, by the presence of a control valve which by-passes the SAS while the vehicle is decelerating. 49
In order to preserve the SAS, so to ensure its efficiency, the following maintenance procedures should be carried out by and Authorised Piaggio Service Station: 125cc Engine - For this engine, the system consists of an internal, A and an external filter, B. These should be cleaned every two years. 250cc Engine - This system features a single filter, A positioned inside the plastic box, externally mounted onto the transmission cover. Cleaning is scheduled for every 12,000 Km. The sponge filters should be cleaned with water and soap, and then dried with a clean cloth and light jets of compressed air. 03_16

Cooling fluid level (03_18, 03_19)
The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuit contains approx. 1.8 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% demineralised water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors.
The liquid supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use. For the engine to work properly, coolant temperature must range between a minimum value of 60 C and a maximum value of 105 C, as indicated by coloured references on the indicator D on the analogue instrument panel. If the needle of the gauge 03_18 50
enters the red zone, switch off the engine, allow to cool down and check the coolant level; if the result is normal, turn to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. The fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the engine is cold, following the methods indicated below. a) Place the scooter in a vertical position on the stand. b) Remove the expansion tank cover "A", turning in anticlockwise direction. c) Look inside the expansion tank; a mark on the plastic part indicates the maximum and minimum reference of the expansion tank. d) Top up, if necessary, if the fluid level is below the MIN level on the scale inside the expansion tank. The fluid level must always be between MIN and MAX level If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to be carried out when the engine is cold. If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if the expansion tank is completely dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore indispensable to have the cooling system checked at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. The coolant should be replaced every 2 years. For this operation, please contact an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. N.B. IF DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS NOT CORRECT, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE. WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, DO NOT UNSCREW THE EXPANSION TANK COVER WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL HOT.
IN ORDER TO AVOID HARMFUL FLUID LEAKS WHILE RIDING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL NEVER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM VALUE. IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE ENGINE, IT IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE RADIATOR GRILLE CLEAN.

Checking the brake oil level (03_20, 03_21)
The brake fluid tanks of the front and rear brakes are located on the pumps under the covers on the handlebar. Proceed as follows: 1. Place the scooter on its centre stand and make sure the handlebar is centred; 2. Remove cover "A" by removing the respective retaining screw "B"; 3. Check the fluid level through the respective sight glass "C". A certain lowering of the level is caused by wear on the pads. Should the level appear to be below the minimum mark, please contact your nearest PIAGGIO Dealer or Authorised Service Centre in order to have a thorough inspection of the brake system carried out.

Long periods of inactivity
Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging plus residual absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness of the poles. In order to avoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow any of these steps: - At least once a month start the engine and run it slightly above idle speed for 10-15 minutes. This keeps all the engine components, as well as the battery, in good working order. - Take your vehicle to a garage (as indicated in the "Vehicle not used for extended periods" section) to have the battery removed. Have the battery cleaned, charged fully and stored in a dry, ventilated place. Recharge at least once every two months. N.B.
THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED WITH A CURRENT EQUAL TO 1/10 OF THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY AND FOR NOT LONGER THAN 10 HOURS. CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERATION SAFELY. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE LEADS ARE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLES WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THIS CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT. WARNING

Idling around 165050 revs/min.
Front and rear disc brake
The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect on the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presence of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly due to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be taken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. CAUTION
THE BRAKING ACTION SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.
HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE CHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAKE SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKED BY A PIAGGIO DEALER OR AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE. AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER BEFORE HAVING USED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE PISTONS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE CORRECT POSITION. CAUTION
THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THE ROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE DURATION OF THE BRAKE PADS. IN ORDER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.

Puncture (03_44)

The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of a puncture, contrary to the situation with a tyre with inner tube, the tyre deflates more slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, it is admissible to make an emergency repair using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair, take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a tyre involves removing the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer for these operations. 03_44 69

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY PROPERLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING. WARNING
THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLY BALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS.
