[. . . ] By putting on the front brake only or the rear brake only, you reduce the braking force considerably, thus running the risk of locking one wheel and consequently losing grip. Before beginning to turn, slow down or brake driving at moderate and constant speed or accelerating slightly; avoid braking at the last moment: it would be very easy to skid. If the brakes are operated continuously on downhill stretches, the friction surfaces can overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency. In case of wet ground or scarce wheel grip (snow, ice, mud, etc. ), drive slowly, avoiding sudden brakings or manoeuvres that could make you lose grip and fall down. a a Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle or variation of the ground. Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications painted on the road surface, building site metal plates become rather slippery by rain. For this reason all these obstacles have to be carefully avoided, driving smoothly and bending the vehicle as little as possible. Always use the turn indicators timely when you intend to change lane or direction, avoiding sharp and dangerous movements.

The running-in of the engine is primary to ensure its working life and its correct functioning. If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in. For the first 500 km, keep to the following indications: 0-100 km During the first 100 km put on the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings. 0-300 km Do not keep the throttle grip open more than one half for long stretches. 300-500 km Do not keep the throttle grip open more than three-fourths for long stretches. a Park the vehicle on firm and flat ground, to prevent it from falling down. CENTRAL STAND Seize the vehicle using the apposite grab rail (1) and at the same time push the stand lever (2) downwards (see figure). Make sure that the vehicle is resting firmly. Neither lean the vehicle against walls, nor lay it on the ground. Make sure that the vehicle and especially its red-hot parts do not represent a danger for persons and children. Do not leave the vehicle unattended when the engine is on or the key is inserted into the ignition block. Do not seat on the vehicle when the stand is down. use and maintenance Rally 50 33 35''%34)/. 3 4/ 02%6%. 4 4(%&4 NEVER leave the ignition key inserted and always use the steering lock.
