correct, contact an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre to find the fault that caused
the system to fail.
The fluid level must be carried out when the engine is cold, the first time after the first
1,000 km and thereafter every 6,000 km of use following this procedure:
a) Put the vehicle in vertical position on its centre stand.
b) Remove the expansion tank cap " A " by turning it anticlockwise.
The fluid level can be visually checked once the front shield central cover has been
removed. If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to
be carried out when the
engine is cold .
If it is necessary to top up the cooling fluid frequently, or if the expansion tank is com-
pletely dry, you should look for a leak in the cooling system. It is therefore absolutely
necessary to have the cooling system checked at an
Authorised Piaggio Service
Centre .
The cooling system fluid must be changed every 2 years. This operation must be
carried out by trained technicians, please contact your nearest
Piaggio Dealer or
Authorised Service Centre .
N.B.
SHOULD THE 9th SEGMENT OF THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
COME ON DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND LET
IT COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS OK,
CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, DO NOT UNSCREW THE EXPANSION
TANK COVER WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL HOT.
CAUTION
IN ORDER TO AVOID HARMFUL FLUID LEAKS WHILE DRIVING, IT IS IMPOR-
TANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LEVEL NEVER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM
VALUE.
