DEALER INSTRUCTION SHEET
DEALER INSTRUCTION SHEET
Before carrying out any maintenance
operation or inspection of the front wheel, if
possible hoist the vehicle onto a solid and
level surface with suitable equipment.
When disassembling and reassembling the
front wheel, take extra care not to damage
the brake lines, discs or pads.
Failure to carry out these checks may lead to
serious injury or damage to the vehicle.
Very little time is required, and the benefits
in terms of safety are enormous.
The components in this handbook are supplied
disassembled, and have to be fitted to the motor
cycle. These instruction sheets for dealers describe
the correct fitting procedures.
Read the instructions in the sheets to avoid
breakages or incorrect assembly.
Remove the rear street case from the packing case,
containing the mirrors, battery and components.
After removing the nailed-on supports and
crosspieces from the crate (used for transport
purposes), push the motor cycle off the bottom of
the crate and position it on the stand.
You can now proceed with the operations described
below.
