Ducati 996 (1999) Инструкция по эксплуатации онлайн [21/80] 114429

Side stand (fig. 15)

Important

Before lowering the side stand, make sure that the

bearing surface is hard and flat.

Do not park on soft or pebbled ground or on asphalt melt

by the sun heat and similar or the motorcycle may fall

over.

When parking in downhill road tracts, always park the

motorcycle with its rear wheel facing downhill.

To pull down the side stand, hold the motorcycle

handlebars with both hands and push down on the thrust

arm (1) with your foot until it is fully extended. Tilt the

motorcycle until the side stand is resting on the ground.

Important

Do not sit on the motorcycle when it is supported

on the side stand.

To move the side stand to its rest position (horizontal

position), tilt the motorcycle to the right and, at the same

time, lift the thrust arm (1) with your foot.

Note

Check for proper operation of the stand mechanism

(two springs, one into the other) and the safety sensor (2)

at regular intervals.

Warning

The motorcycle can be started only if the side stand

is in “rest” position as it is equipped with a safety device

preventing engine start if the stand is down.
