Before beginning any mainte-
nance operation or any inspec-
tion of the vehicle, stop the en-
gine, extract the key from the ignition
block, wait until the engine and the ex-
haust system have cooled down and if
possible lift the vehicle by means of the
proper equipment, on firm and flat
ground. Keep away from the red-hot
parts of the engine and of the exhaust
system, in order to avoid burns.
The vehicle is made up of not edible
parts. Never bite, suck, chew or swallow
any part of the vehicle for any reason.
If not expressly indicated other-
wise, for the reassembly of the

erations reversing their order.

If you need assistance or technical advice,

icing. After any maintenance operation,
carry out the “Preliminary checking opera-
tions”, see p. 29 (PRELIMINARY CHECK-
