BASIC SAFETY RULES

To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in possession of all

the requirements prescribed by law (driving licence, minimum

age, psychophysical ability, insurance, state taxes, vehicle

registration, number plate, etc.).

Gradually get to know the vehicle by driving it first in areas

with low traffic and/or private areas.

The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic sub-

stances notably increases the risk of accidents.

Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit

for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness

and drowsiness.

Most road accidents are caused by the driver's lack of experi-

ence.

NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and, in any case, make

sure that the driver has all the requirements for driving.

Rigorously observe all road signs and national and local road

regulations.

Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself

and other people (for example: rearing up on the back wheel,

speeding, etc.), and give due consideration to the road sur-

face, visibility and other driving conditions.

Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you

lose control.

Avoid riding in the slipstream created by preceding vehicles in

order to increase your speed.

Always drive with both hands on the handlebars and both feet

on the footrests, in the correct driving posture.

Absolutely avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while

driving.

The driver should pay attention and avoid distractions caused

by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink,

read, etc.) while driving.

Use only the vehicle's specific fuels and lubricants indicated in

the "Lubricant Chart"; check all oil, fuel and coolant levels reg-

ularly.

COOLER

OIL

If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, make sure that

no damage has occurred to the control levers, pipes, wires,

braking system and vital parts.

If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by an

aprilia

Official

Dealer, who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, sus-

pensions, safety parts and all the devices that you cannot

check by yourself.

Always remember to report any malfunction to the technicians

to help them in their work.

Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suf-

fered endangers your safety.

Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number

plate, direction indicators, lights and horns.

Any modification of the vehicle will result in the invalidity of the

guarantee.
