or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Author-
ised Piaggio Service Centre.
Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04)
The engine oil and cartridge filter, " C ", must be replaced after the first km, and every
6.000 km thereafter, by an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre .
The engine should be emptied by draining the oil from the drainage plug « 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 still remains in the circuit, filling must be done
with approx. 600 ÷ 650 cm³ of oil through the cap «
A ». Then start up the scooter, leave
it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after about five minutes check the level
and if necessary top up
without exceeding the MAX level .
The cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed. For top-ups and
changes, 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

WARNING
EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND
VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.
