BASIC SAFETY RULES

BASIC SAFETY RULES To drive the vehicle, you must satisfy certain legal requirements (driving licence, minimum age limit, psychophysical fitness, insurance, vehicle licence tax, vehicle registration, number plate, etc.). Begin to familiarise yourself with the vehicle by riding in low traffic areas and/or private ground. Certain prescribed medicines, alcohol, drugs and psychotropic substances will affect your riding, thereby increasing the risk of an accident. Your riding is also affected by your physical and mental condition - do not ride if you are feeling ill, upset, tired or sleepy. Most road accidents are caused by inexperienced riders. NEVER lend your vehicle to a beginner and make sure any person borrowing your vehicle fills the legal requirements for driving.

Strictly observe all posted signs and national and local road regulations. Avoid any sudden or risky manoeuvres that may endanger your and other people's safety (for example: wheelies, speeding, etc.), and adjust your riding style to road surface conditions, visibility, etc. Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control of the vehicle. Avoid riding in the slipstream of vehicles ahead in order to increase your speed.

WARNING

Always hold the handlebars with both hands and keep both feet on the footpegs (or on the rider's footboards), in the correct riding position. Do not stand up or stretch your limbs while riding.

OIL

Do not allow yourself to become distracted by other persons or by smoking, eating, drinking, reading etc. when riding. Use only the specified fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART" and check oil and fuel levels at regular intervals. If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, check the control levers, pipes and hoses, wires, the braking system and key components for damage. If in doubt, have the vehicle inspected at a Moto Guzzi Authorised Dealer and ask them to carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all devices whose inspection is best left to a skilled mechanic. Remember to report any malfunction to the technicians and/or mechanics to facilitate their work. Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suffered makes it unsafe to ride.
