Piaggio Liberty 50 - Owner's Manual > Safe driving

WARNING

SOME SIMPLE TIPS ARE PROVIDED BELOW WHICH WILL ENABLE YOU TO USE YOUR VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS MORE EASILY AND SAFELY.

Your ability and your knowledge of the vehicle form the basis of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones to get to know your vehicle completely.

ALWAYS DRIVE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS

1. Before riding off, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.

2. Reduce speed and ride cautiously on uneven roads.

3. Remember that after riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, the braking effect is initially lower. Under these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes from time to time.

4. Do not brake hard on a wet surface, on dirt tracks or on any slippery road surface.

5. If you have to brake, use both brakes in order to divide the braking action between both wheels.

6. Avoid starting off by mounting the vehicle while it is still resting on its stand. In any case, the rear wheel should not be turning when it comes into contact with the ground, in order to avoid abrupt departures.

7. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc., clean the brake disc frequently with mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive substances from building up within the holes, which can result in early wear of the brake pads.

8. Any elaboration that modifies the vehicle's performances, such as tampering with original structural parts is strictly forbidden by law, and renders the vehicle not conforming to the approved type and therefor dangerous to ride.

CAUTION

RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR CERTAIN MEDICINES CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ONESELF AND FOR OTHERS.

CAUTION

ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCH AS TAMPERING WITH ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY LAW, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED TYPE AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.
