Instrument and control functions
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing
methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol
can be used if the ethanol content does
not exceed 10% (E10). Gasohol containing
EN methanol is not recommended by Benelli
because it can cause damage to the fuel
system or vehicle performance problems.

This model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after opera-
tion.
To prevent a re hazard or burns:
• Do not park the vehicle near pos-
sible re hazards such as grass or
other materials that easily burn.
• Park the vehicle in a place where
pedestrians or children are not
likely to touch the hot exhaust sy-
stem.
• Make sure that the exhaust system
has cooled down before doing any
maintenance work.
• Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of heat.
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of
