Before Every Ride

For your safety and to keep the scooter in good working order, ALWAYS perform the following checklist before every ride. If you find any damaged or worn parts, DO NOT use the scooter. Contact your dealer for repairs.

CHECK THE FUEL LEVEL

Check the fuel gauge. Add fuel if necessary.

CHECK THE BRAKES

Apply the front and rear brakes to make sure they are working correctly. Refer to “Front and Rear Brake Adjustment” on page 12.

CHECK THE TURN SIGNALS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND HORN

Turn the ignition key to the ON position to provide power to the scooter. Move the turn signal to the LEFT and RIGHT positions and make sure turn the signal lights and the turn indicator lights on the speedometer are functioning properly.

Apply the front brake and make sure the brake light is functioning properly. Repeat this test for the rear brake.

Push the horn button to make sure horn is functioning properly.
