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. CHECK THE TIRES • Make sure the tires are inflated to the proper pressures: the front tire should be inflated to 26 PSI and the rear tire should be inflated to 29 PSI. Make sure there are no cuts, punctures or excessively worn tread on the tires. Refer to “Tire Maintenance” on page 11 for details. CHECK THE REAR VIEW MIRRORS • Make sure the mirrors are clean, secured and adjusted properly so you can have a clear view of vehicles behind the scooter.

WARNING • The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Starting the Scooter, continued AUTOMATIC CHOKE NOTE: Your new scooter is equipped with an Automatic Choke. There is no manual choke and no need to apply the throttle while starting. KICK START • For the first 100 miles (160 kilometers) it is recommended that you kick start the scooter, or use the kick starter to “prime” the engine (force fuel into the carburetor) prior to using the electric starter. This preserves battery life and reduces wear to the electrical starter during the break-in period. • The center stand must be down in order to use the kick starter. NOTE: Do not attempt to sit on the seat and start the scooter with the center stand down. • Place the key in the ignition and turn it to the ON position. • Move the engine stop switch to the ON position.

NOTE: The scooter will not start unless one brake is applied while starting. • Extend the kick starter foot peg. • “Kick” down on the kick starter quickly, then allow it to spring back into position. Repeat this procedure until the engine starts. NOTE: You are forcing fuel up into the carburetor with each “kick”. It may take many “kicks” to start the engine for the first time. • When the engine starts, apply enough throttle to idle the engine for 20 to 30 seconds. NOTE: DO NOT open the throttle while kick starting. Open the throttle only after the engine has started. NOTE: To prolong engine life, allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature before driving. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. • Retract the kick starter foot peg to its original position before driving. • Grasp both handlebar grips and push the scooter forward to retract the center stand under the scooter.
