page 33 (MAINTENANCE) and page 58
(LUBRICANT CHART).
Check
CAUTION
Position the vehicle
on firm and flat ground.
◆
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
WARNING
The engine and the components of the
exhaust system become very hot and
remain hot for some time after the en-
gine has been stopped. Before handling
these components, wear insulating
gloves or wait until the engine and the
exhaust system have cooled down.
◆
Stop the engine and let it cool down, in or-
der to allow the oil to flow into the oil pan
and to cool down.
CAUTION
Failure to perform the
operations described above may result in the
incorrect measurement of the engine oil level.
◆
Unscrew and extract the plug/dipstick
(1).
◆
Clean the part in contact with the oil with
a clean cloth.
◆
Tighten the plug/dipstick (1) completely,
screwing it into the filling hole (2).
◆
Withdraw the plug/dipstick (1) again and
read the oil level on the dipstick itself:
MAX
= maximum level
MIN
= minimum level.
The difference between "MAX" and
"MIN" amounts to approximately 200
cu. cm.
◆
The level is correct if the oil reaches ap-
prox. the "
MAX
" mark on the dipstick.
CAUTION
Never exceed the "MAX" mark or let oil
level drop below the "MIN" mark, as this
may lead to severe engine damage.
◆
If necessary, provide for topping up.
TOPPING UP
◆
Pour a small quantity of oil in the filling
hole (2) and wait about one minute, so
that the oil flows into the oil pan.
◆
Check the oil level and top up if neces-
sary.
◆
Top up by adding small quantities of oil,
until reaching the prescribed level.
◆
At the end of the operation, screw and
tighten the plug/dipstick (1).
WARNING
Do not use the vehicle with insufficient
lubrication or with contaminated or un-
suitable lubricants, since this would
cause early wear of the moving parts
and may also cause irreparable failures.
