Wet brakes
Washing the scooter or riding through water
or rain can delay the braking effect due to
wet or ( in winter ) ice-covered brake discs
and linings.
Braking
NOTE
Make sure you practice braking for emerge-
ncy situations, but do so where you will not
pose a risk to yourself or others(e.g.a dese-
rted parking area).
WARNING
Operate the brakes to grind off the salt
deposited on the brake discs.
Dirty brakes
When riding on dirty streets, the braking ef-
fect can be delayed due to dirty brake discs
and linings.
Oil and grease
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The brakes must first be operated until
they are dry.
Salt film on the brakes
When riding on salted streets without braki-
ng for a while, the full braking effect may be
delayed.
WARNING
The brake discs and linings must be free
of oil and grease!
If the scooter is not used for a while , a
rust film may form on the brakes and th-
us increase the braking effect. A thick r-
ust film can cause the brakes to lock up.
When setting out on a ride after a long l-
ay-up period, carefully operate the brak-
es several times until they work normal-
ly.
WARNING
Operate the brakes until they are clean.
Lining wear is increased by dirty brakes!
