The immobilizer system

In order to enhance theft protection, the scooter is equipped with a « PIAGGIO IM-

MOBILIZER » 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_10, 01_11, 01_12)

Two types of keys come with the vehicle. The red-handgrip key " A " is the "MAS-

TER " 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.

01_11

WARNING

LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE "PIAGGIO IMMOBIL-

IZER" SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.

WARNING

01_12

01_13

KEEP THE "CODE CARD" AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE

(NOT ON YOUR VEHICLE).

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_13)

Activation of the « PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER » system is signalled by a flashing warning light « G » (see «Analogue instrument panel» section).

In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically after 48 hours of uninterrupted functioning.

Should the system fail, different LED flashing patterns will be provided by an authorised Piaggio-Gilera service centre with information on the type of fault detected.

Operation

Every time the starter key is removed in the " OFF " or " LOCK " position, the safety system activates the immobilizer system. Turning the key to " ON " disables the engine lock, provided that the safety system recognises the code transmitted by the key. If the code is not recognised, turn the key first to " OFF " and then to " ON "; if the lock cannot be disabled, try with the other key supplied (red-coloured). If the engine cannot be started, contact an authorised Piaggio service centre , which is provided with the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system. The immobiliser is activated even when the engine is switched off with the engine cut-off switch. This happens even if the starter key is in position " ON ". When additional keys are required, please note that data storage (up to 7 keys max.) must be done on all keys, both new ones and existing ones. Take the key with the red grip and all the black keys supplied to an authorised Piaggio service centre . The codes of keys not submitted for the

new storage procedure are deleted from the memory. Any lost keys will therefore not be enabled to start the engine.

WARNING

EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED BY

THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.

VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE

KEY.

IF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSFERRED, THE RED-HANDGRIP KEY

(AS WELL AS THE OTHER KEYS) AND THE "CODE CARD" MUST ALSO BE

TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.

Programming the immobilizer system

The procedure for programming the « PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER » system and/or for storing other key codes is described below.

The programming procedure should be carried out with the engine stop switch set to

« RUN ».

Procedure start - red key

Insert the red-handgrip key in the switch key (in " OFF " position) and turn it to " ON ".

After 1 - 3 seconds, turn the key to " OFF " again and pull it out.

Intermediate step - black key

After pulling out the red key, insert the black key within 10 seconds and promptly turn it to " ON ". After 1-3 seconds, turn the key to " OFF " again and pull it out. In this way, a maximum of 7 black keys can be programmed by repeating the above procedure keeping the indicated times.

01_14

Final step - red key

After pulling out the last black key, insert the red key again and turn it to " ON " (this operation should be performed within 10 seconds of pulling out the previous key).

Leave it in this position for 1 to 3 seconds and return it to the « OFF » position.

Proper programming check

Insert the red key disabling the transponder (i.e., tilt the key cap by 90°) and turn the key to " ON ". Perform the engine start-up operation. Ensure that the engine does not start. Insert the black key and repeat the start-up operation. Check that engine starts.

IS LOWERED.

WARNING

02_10

TAMPERING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE MALFUNCTION.

CAUTION

DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAN

REACH, ALWAYS TAKE CARE, WHEN PARKING THE SCOOTER, THAT THE

EXHAUST DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,

TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS.

CAUTION

02_11

DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. UN-

BURNED FUEL COULD ENTER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND BURN,

CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT AND POSSIBLY DESTROYING IT.

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.

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:

Do not continue riding in such conditions.

Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.

Safe driving

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.

Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.

After riding 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.

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.

If riding 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

ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-

COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS IS EXTREMELY DAN-

GEROUS.

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY WHEN

ADDING ACCESSORIES AND CARRYING LUGGAGE. THE ADDITION OF AC-

CESSORIES AND BAGGAGE CAN REDUCE THE STABILITY AND PERFORM-

02_12

ANCE OF THE SCOOTER, AS WELL AS DECREASE THE LEVEL OF SAFETY

DURING ITS USE. NEVER RIDE THE SCOOTER WITH ADDED ACCESSORIES

FASTER THAN 130 km/h. WITHOUT THESE ACCESSORIES THE VEHICLE MAY

BE DRIVEN AT A HIGHER SPEED WITHIN THE LEGAL LIMITS. IF THERE

SHOULD BE NON-PIAGGO ACCESSORIES INSTALLED, OR AN ABNORMAL

LOAD, OR IF THE SCOOTER IS NOT IN A GENERALLY GOOD CONDITION, OR

WHENEVER WEATHER CONDITIONS DEMAND IT, SPEED SHOULD BE RE-

DUCED FURTHER.

CAUTION

DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE RIDING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO

LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

CAUTION

ANY CHANGES TO THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS ALTERATIONS

TO ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY LAW, AND

RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED TYPE

AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.

Accessories (02_12, 02_13)

The saddle is supplied with a protection cover. Lift the saddle and extract the cover from its housing to use it.

Fit it over the seat without pulling excessively to avoid tearing the material; lower the saddle.

02_13

CAUTION

DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE PROTECTION COVER.

Maintenance

03_01

03_02

03_03

Engine oil level

In 4-stroke engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bushes and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.

In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all the time, oil consumption increases). The replacement frequencies provided for by the maintenance programme are defined, depending on the total contents of oil in the engine and average consumption measured following standardised methods.

In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The scooter is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.

Engine oil level check (03_01)

Every time the scooter is used, a visual check should be made on the level of the engine oil when the engine is cold. The oil level should be somewhere between the

MAX and MIN index marks on the level bar; the check must be made with the scooter upright, resting on the centre stand and on a flat surface.

If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check it is necessary to wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped, so as to get the correct level.

Engine oil top-up

Always check the oil level before carrying out top ups in order to avoid exceeding the MAX. level.

Getting an oil level between the MIN and MAX index marks requires

~ 400 cc of oil. An oil check-up and top-up should be carried out every 3000 Km by authorised personnel at any Authorised Piaggio-Gilera Service Centre .

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_02)

The scooter is equipped with a warning light " D " that lights up when the key is turned to the " ON " position.

03_04

This light should, however, go out once the engine has been started.

If the light comes on during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to check the oil level and top up if required. If, after having topped up the oil, the warning light persists in coming on while braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Piaggio service centre.

Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04)

The engine oil and filter must be replaced every 6,000 km by an authorised Piaggio service centre . The engine should be emptied by draining the oil via the drainage cap

"B" of the gauze filter on the transmission side. In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick "A" . Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the circuit, filling must be done with engine oil via cap " A ". Then start the scooter, allow it to run for a few minutes and then switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top up without exceeding the MAX. level . The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top up and change, use new oil of the recommended type.

CAUTION

RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-

QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING

PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.

TOPPING UP THE ENGINE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL MAY CAUSE

MALFUNCTION AND/OR A DROP IN PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.

USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE

OF THE ENGINE.

WARNING

EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND

VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.

CAUTION

Cooling fluid level (03_11, 03_12, 03_13)

The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuit contains approx. 1.7 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 proper functioning of the engine, ensure that the temperature of the coolant remains in the middle zone of gauge " C " on the instrument panel. If the needle of the gauge enters the red zone, switch off the engine, allow to cool down and check the coolant level; if this is not within the prescribed limit, contact an authorised Piaggio service centre.

The fluid level must checked every 6,000 kilometres with a cold engine, in the way shown below: a) Place the scooter in a vertical position on the stand.

b) Loosen clamping screw " A " and remove the cover.

c) Remove the expansion tank cover " B ", turning in anticlockwise direction.

d) Look inside the expansion tank; a scale in the plastic indicates the maximum and minimum level of the coolant.

e) 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 empty, the cause has to be found in the cooling system.

It is then essential to have the cooling system inspected by an authorised Piaggio service centre .

The coolant should be changed 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 AU-

THORISED SERVICE CENTRE.

WARNING

TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, DO NOT UNSCREW THE EXPANSION

TANK COVER WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL HOT.

WARNING

03_14

TO PREVENT AVOID HARMFUL FLUID LEAKAGE WHILE RIDING, ENSURE

THAT THE LEVEL NEVER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM VALUE.

Checking the brake oil level (03_14, 03_15)

The brake fluid tanks are located on the pumps under the front handlebar cover(front on the right-hand side, rear on the left-hand side).

The procedures to checking the brake fluid level for the front and rear brakes are identical.

Proceed as follows:

1 . Place the scooter on its centre stand and make sure the handlebar is centred;

2 . Loosen screw " A " and remove cover " 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.

03_15

03_16

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.

Braking system fluid top up (03_16)

Proceed as follows:

Remove tank cover " D " and loosen the two screws " E " and top up the brake fluid level using only the prescribed brake fluid and without exceeding the maximum level.

Under normal climatic conditions, the brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years.

This operation must be carried out by trained technicians; please contact your nearest

Electric characteristic

Battery

12V - 12 Ah

Use of a new battery

Ensure that the terminals are connected correctly and check the voltage.

CAUTION

DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY: RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT AND DAMAGE

TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Checking the electrolyte level

The electrolyte level, which should be checked regularly, must always be at the maximum level. To top it up to this level, use only distilled water.

Should it become necessary to top up the battery with water too frequently, check the scooter's electrical system because the battery is being overloaded, causing it to lose power quickly.

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:

03_19

- 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 .

CAUTION

THE BATTERY MUST BE RECHARGED WITH A CURRENT LOAD EQUAL TO 1/10

OF THE BATTERY RATED CAPACITY AND FOR A PERIOD NOT LONGER THAN

8 HOURS. TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO SERVICE CEN-

TRE FOR THIS OPERATION. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE

LEADS ARE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.

Fuses (03_19, 03_20, 03_21)

The electrical system is equipped with:

1 . Six protective fuses « A » located inside the side panel on the right-hand side;

2 . Four protective fuses « B » located inside the compartment on the upper left-hand side.

The chart shows the position and characteristics of the fuses in the vehicle.

CAUTION

BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE, FIND AND SOLVE THE FAILURE THAT

CAUSED IT TO BLOW. NEVER TRY TO REPLACE THE FUSE WITH ANY OTHER

MATERIAL (E.G., A PIECE OF ELECTRIC WIRE).

03_35

Front and rear disc brake (03_35)

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.

CAUTION

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 SYS-

TEM 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 FRE-

QUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.

Puncture

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.

CAUTION

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY PROPERLY FOLLOW THE IN-

STRUCTIONS 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.

03_36

Periods of inactivity (03_36)

We recommend carrying out the following operations:

Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;

2 . With the engine off and the piston in the bottom dead centre position, remove the spark plug, and pour into its hole 1 t0 2 cc of the recommended oil. Operate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly, then insert the spark plug again;

3 . Ensure that the fuel tank is at least half full (in order to ensure the total immersion of the fuel pump) ; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts; keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;

As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the "Battery" section.
