Adjusting the 3-in-1 canopy
The 3-in-1 canopy is comprised of an insect net, an adjustable sun visor and a weather canopy:
The inner part of the 3-in-1 canopy must be closed during every journey because the integral
insect net provides protection against insects and small stones.
The outer skin of the 3-in-1 canopy is comprised of a durable transparent sheet. It provides
protection against rain and strong winds, and dissipates exhaust gases out of the cabin.
Opening the weather canopy:
f
Roll up the rain window and secure the roll at the top
with the two toggle fasteners.
Closing the weather canopy:
f
Open the top toggle fasteners and unroll the rain
window over the insect net.
f

Danger!
Never ride with the cover open. As a minimum, the insect net must be closed in order
to provide protection against stones. In bad weather or heavy traffic, also close the
weather canopy.

net and the rain window. The length can be adjusted with
