[. . . ] We have drawn up this booklet to provide a comprehensive overview of your vehicle's quality features. Please read it carefully before riding the vehicle for the first time. it contains information , tips and precautions for using your vehicle. It also describes features, details and devices to assure you that you have made the right choice. [. . . ] Do not use accessories that hinder access to the controls as they may increase the reaction time in case of an emergency. Fairings and large windshields fitted to the vehicle may cause aerodynamic forces that affect the vehicle stability while riding, mainly at high speeds. Make sure the accessory is firm and secured to the vehicle and that it does not pose any risks while riding the vehicle. Do not add or modify electrical equipment that exceed the vehicle capacity as this may result in a sudden stop or a dangerous lack of power required to keep the sound and light alarm devices operative. Keep packages as close as possible to the vehicle centre of gravity and distribute load evenly on both sides to minimise imbalance. check also that the load is firm and secured to the vehicle , mainly for long trips. Do not hang anything from your vehicle's handlebars, mudguards or forks, such as protruding, bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects: this will slow the vehicle performance when turning and will upset the handling of your vehicle. Do not carry packages that protrude from vehicle sides as this may hit people or objects and result in loss of control of your vehicle. 02_24 Do not carry packages that protrude from the luggage rack or which cover any of the sound and light alarm devices. Never carry animals or small children on the glove-box or the luggage rack. Overloading the vehicle may result in lack of stability and poor handling. Engine oil level Check engine oil level frequently according to the indications in the scheduled maintenance table. Take your vehicle to an Official aprilia Dealer to carry out the replacement. Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02) This will allow the oil to settle into the crankcase and cool down. Place without screwing the capdipstick «1» into its tube «2». Remove the cap-dipstick «1» again and read the level the oil reaches on the dipstick. The level is correct when it is close to the MAX level marked on the measuring dipstick. Pour a little oil through the dipstick tube "2" and wait one minute so that the oil flows uniformly into the crankcase. Do so with small quantities of oil at a time until the specified level is reached. After finishing this operation, screw and tighten the tap/dipstick "1". Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_04) The vehicle is fitted with a telltale light «1» that turns on when the key is set to «ON». Take your vehicle to an Official aprilia Dealer to carry out the replacement. [. . . ] Take a container with more capacity than the amount of fuel in the tank and place it on the vehicle left hand side. To drain the fuel off the tank use a hand-operated pump or a similar system. Take care not to damage the pump unit (probe checking fuel level in the tank).
