trative sanctions.

Read pages 20 (ENGINE OIL) and 34
(MAINTENANCE) carefully.
Check the engine oil level every 500 km and
change it every 6000 km, see p. 37
(CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL AND THE OIL
FILTER).
Remember:
1 mi = 1,6 km
1 km = 0,625 mi
To carry out the checking:
◆
Stop the engine and let it cool down
for at least 10 minutes, in order to
allow the oil to flow back to the oil pan
and to cool down.
◆
Keep the vehicle in vertical position,
with the two wheels resting on the
ground.
◆
Let the engine idle for at least one
minute, in order to allow the filling of
the oil tank.
◆
Stop the engine.
If you don’t carry out the above
mentioned operations, you run
the risk of making a wrong
measurement of the filling.
◆
Unscrew the measure plug/stick (1),
clean the part that is in contact with
the oil with a clean cloth and tighten it.
◆
Then extract it again and read the
level on the graduated notches:
MAX = maximum level
MIN = minimum level
The difference is about 300 cm
3
.
◆
The level is correct if it approximately
reaches the maximum limit marked on
the measure stick.
Neither exceed the "MAX" notch,
nor stay below the "MIN" notch,
in order not to cause severe
damages to the engine.
