This service station manual has been drawn up by Piaggio & C. Spa to be used by the workshops of Piaggio-Gilera dealers. It
is assumed that the user of this manual for maintaining and repairing Piaggio vehicles has a basic knowledge of mechanical
principles and vehicle repair technique procedures. Any significant changes to vehicle characteristics or to specific repair
operations will be communicated by updates to this manual. Nevertheless, completely satisfactory work cannot be carried out

Rules
This section describes general safety rules for any maintenance operations performed on the vehicle.
Safety rules
- If work can only be done on the vehicle with the engine running, make sure that the premises are well
ventilated, using special extractors if necessary; never let the engine run in an enclosed area. Exhaust
fumes are toxic.
- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, clothes and skin. Sulphuric acid is
highly corrosive; in the event of contact with your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with abundant water
and seek immediate medical attention.
- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparks
or flames near the battery, especially when charging it.
- Fuel is highly flammable and it can be explosive given some conditions. Do not smoke in the working
area, and avoid naked flames or sparks.
- Clean the brake pads in a well-ventilated area, directing the jet of compressed air in such a way that
you do not breathe in the dust produced by the wear of the friction material. Even though the latter
contains no asbestos, inhaling dust is harmful.
Maintenance rules
- Use original PIAGGIO spare parts and lubricants recommended by the Manufacturer. Non-original or
non-conforming spares may damage the vehicle.
- Use only the appropriate tools designed for this vehicle.
- Always use new gaskets, sealing rings and split pins upon refitting.
- After removal, clean the components using non-flammable or low flash-point solvents. Lubricate all
the work surfaces, except tapered couplings, before refitting these parts.
- After refitting, make sure that all the components have been installed correctly and work properly.
- Use only equipment with metric sizes for removal, service and reassembly operations. Metric bolts,
nuts and screws are not interchangeable with coupling members using English measurements. Using
unsuitable coupling members and tools may damage the vehicle.
- When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, make
sure the electrical connections have been made properly, particularly the ground and battery connec-
tions.
