[. . . ] - Noale (VE) SAFETY WARNINGS The following precautionary warnings are used throughout this manual in order to convey the following messages: Safety warning. When you find this symbol on the vehicle or in the manual, be careful to the potential risk of personal injury. Non-compliance with the indications given in the messages preceded by this symbol may result in grave risks for your and other people's safety and for the vehicle! TECHNICAL INFORMATION The operations preceded by this symbol must be repeated also on the opposite side of the vehicle. If not expressly indicated otherwise, for the reassembly of the units repeat the disassembly operations in reverse order. [. . . ] u Ride at reduced speed for the first miles, in order to warm the engine up. u Increase the speed by gradually rotating CAUTION Shift the gears one by one; the simultaneous downshifting of more than one gear may make you exceed the maximum rpm (redline). Before and during the downshifting, release the throttle grip and decelerate, in order to avoid the "redline". Maximum set rpm are indicated by a light (5) that flashes. the throttle grip (2) (Pos. B), without exceeding the recommended rpm, see page 53 (RUNNING-IN). Never ride the vehicle at too low rpm. u Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A), pull the clutch lever (3) and lift the gear shift lever (4). u Repeat the last two operations and shift up. CAUTION If the light (5) stays on or comes on during normal engine operation, and at the same time even the symbol on the display is on, it means that engine il pressure in the circuit is low. use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I. E. STRADA - TRAIL CAUTION Never exceed the recommended rpm, see page 53 (RUNNING-IN). 51 To shift down, proceed as follows: u Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A). u If necessary, pull the brake levers moderately and decrease the speed of the vehicle. u Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the gear shift lever (4) to shift down. u Release the clutch lever and accelerate moderately. see page 38 (COOLANT). If the situation on the instrument panel remains the same after the coolant level has been checked, do not start the vehicle and contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer. Do not position the ignition key on " ", s i n c e t he c o o li n g f a n w ou ld s t op independently of the coolant temperature and in this case the temperature would increase even further. If the error message " SERVICE" appears on the display during normal engine operation, it means that the ECU has detected a failure. In many cases the engine keeps running with limited performance; immediately contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer. To avoid the overheating of the clutch, keep the engine running with vehicle at rest, engaged gears and pulled clutch lever for the shortest time possible. WARNING Avoid opening and closing the throttle repeatedly and continuously, so that you do not accidentally lose control of the vehicle. If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration, properly exerting pressure on the braking parts. Using one brake only reduces braking force significantly and may lock a wheel resulting in loss of grip. If you stop uphill, decelerate completely and use the brakes only to keep the vehicle steady. The use of the engine to keep the vehicle steady may cause the overheating of the clutch. If the brakes are operated continuously on downhill stretches, the friction surfaces may overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency. Exploit the engine compression and shift down by putting on both brakes intermittently. When visibility is insufficient, switch on the low beam even during the day, in order to make your vehicle more visible. In case of wet ground or scarce wheel grip (snow, ice, mud, etc. ), ride slowly, avoiding sudden braking or manoeuvres that could make you lose grip and fall down. CAUTION If the display shows error message " ", it means that coolant temperature is over 118 °C: stop the vehicle and let the engine idle for approximately two minutes, thus permitting the regular circulation of the coolant in the system; at this point, position the engine start-stop switch on " " and check the coolant level, 52 use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.
