WARNING
Avoid parking the vehicle catalytic ver-
sion near dry brush wood or in places
easily accessible to children, as the cat-
alytic silencer becomes extremely hot
during use; be very careful and avoid
any kind of contact before it has com-
pletely cooled down.
The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencer
with metal catalytic converter of the “plati-
num-rhodium bivalent” type.
This device provides for the oxidation of
the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC
(unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the
exhaust gases, changing them into carbon
dioxide and steam, respectively.
a
CAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol, since it caus-
es the destruction of the catalytic con-
verter.
