Warninglight(insufficientoilpressure) (03_03)
The vehicle is fitted with a warning light « E » that is turned on when the key is turned
to « ON ». This warning must go off once the engine starts. If the light comes on
during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to check
the oil level and top up if required. If, after having topped up the oil, the warning
light persists in coming on while braking, at idling speed or while turning a cor-
ner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

Engineoilchange (03_04, 03_05)
The oil and cartridge filter " C " must be changed after 1,000 km and every 10,000 km
at an authorised Piaggio service centre . The engine should be emptied by draining
the oil from the drainage cap " B " of the gauze filter on the flywheel side. In order to
facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity of oil re-
mains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of
oil from cap "
A ". Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and
switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top up without ex-
ceeding the MAX. level . The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change.
For top up and change, use new oil of the recommended type.
WARNING
RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-
QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING
PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.
WARNING
EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND
VEHICLE MALFUNCTION.
