Riding the Scooter
ENTERING ROADWAYS
•Apply the turn signal if needed.
•Make sure there is no oncoming traffic. ALWAYS be aware of other vehicles on public roads. Many accidents are caused when drivers of cars do not see scooters who share the road.
•Release the brake and gradually advance the throttle for smooth acceleration.
ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION
•Adjust speed by twisting the throttle. Twist the throttle toward you to accelerate. Twist the throttle away from you to decelerate. NOTE: Your new scooter has an automatic transmission, so there is no clutch and no need to shift gears.
•ALWAYS allow the engine to warm up thoroughly before hard acceleration, or damage to the engine could occur.
BRAKING
WARNING
•ALWAYS apply the front and rear brakes simultaneously to slow down or come to a stop.
•BE CAUTIOUS when using the front brake. Loss of front wheel traction can make both steering and braking ineffective. Using the front brake on loose gravel or wet road conditions can result in loss of traction.
•DO NOT continually engage the brakes for an extended period of time. This causes excessive wear and can overheat the brakes, causing brake failure which could result in serious injury or death.
•In wet driving conditions, be aware that normal stopping distances are increased.
PARKING
NOTE: Always park on smooth, level ground.
•Turn the ignition key to the OFF 
position. Remove the key.
•Move the engine stop switch to the OFF 
position.
•Dismount the scooter and engage the center stand.
•DO NOT park on a slope or on soft surfaces. The scooter could tip over.
•DO NOT park near flammable materials.
•Engage the steering lock to prevent theft (see instructions on page 6).
