Your SWM Dealer has the facilities, experience and original parts necessary to properly render this valuable service. This “Owner’s Manual” is part and parcel of the motorcycle, hence, it shall remain with the motorcycle even when sold to another user. This motorcycle uses components designed thanks to systems and state-of-the-art technologies which are thereafter tested in competitions. In racing motorcycles, every detail is verified after each race in order to always guarantee better per- formance. To ensure trouble-free operation of the vehicle, it is necessary to follow the maintenance and inspec- tion table found under Appendix A.

In this way the oil can reach all the surfaces needing lubrication and the coolant will reach the necessary temperature for correct engine function. 2 Avoid overheating the engine. 6 IMPORTANT*: Never accelerate the engine af- ter a cold start. 3 WARNING*: Exhaust contains poisonous car- bon monoxide gas. Never run the engine in a closed garage or in a confined area.

STOPPING THE MOTOR IN AN EMERGENCY - Press the red button (7) to stop the motor; after use, bring it back to the “out” position. 6 WARNING*: Independent use of the front or rear brake may be advantageous under cer- tain conditions. Be careful when using the 3 front brake, especially on slippery surfaces. Improper use of the brakes can lead to a seri- ous crash. WARNING*: In the event of stuck throttle or 4 other malfunction which causes the engine to run uncontrollably, IMMEDIATELY depress the engine kill switch (7). Control the motorcy- cle by normal use of the brakes and steering while pressing the engine kill switch. 7
