-
harmful to the soil and aquatic environment,
harmful to flora and fauna.
To be avoided:
- contact with skin;
- inhalation of vapours;

Do
NOT use your mouth to suck up, with a tube
or other means, the mixing oil from the reservoir.
The mixing oil vapours are dangerous. Under
NO
circumstances put your face near the mixing oil
filler.
During refuelling and in the vicinity of mix-
ing oil vapours:
- do not smoke;
-
do not use naked flames, sparks or any other
source of ignition or explosion;
- switch off the engine and the lights.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting but
seek medical advice immediately (first aid
post), indicating the cause and how the ac-
cident occurred.
After contact with skin, wash the affected part
immediately with soap and water, repeating the
operation until completely clean.
In case of contact with eyes or ears, rinse the
affected parts immediately with plenty of water
and seek medical advice immediately (first aid
post), indicating the cause and how the accident
occurred.
After contact with clothes, remove contaminated
articles and wash immediately with plenty of
water and soap. Change the dirty clothes, which
must be washed as soon as possible.
Avoid mixing oil spilling or overflowing from the
reservoir; if it comes into contact with overheat-
ed engine parts it could cause a fire.
If mixing oil is accidentally spilt, clean the affect-
ed area thoroughly, making sure that it is com-
pletely dry before starting the engine.
Always wear latex gloves to protect hands when
topping up the mixing oil.
AUTO-MIX OIL SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with a separate mixer oil res-
ervoir that allows the petrol to be mixed with oil
to lubricate the engine.
Insufficient oil is shown
by the lighting up of the low mixing oil warning
light “
”
located on the instrument panel.
CAUTION
Using the vehicle without mixing oil
causes serious damage to the engine.
If the oil contained in the mixer oil res-
ervoir is allowed to nfinish or if the mix-
ing oil pipe is removed, it is necessary
to consult a Dealer to bleed the sys-
tem. This is indispensable, since run-
ning the engine with air in the mixing
oil system could cause serious damage
to the actual engine.
