IC ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
Set the lifting platform on a horizontal surface with the engine switched off and let
the oil drain back into the sump.
- Open the left-hand cover
- Remove the dipstick 1 (Fig. A1).
- Wipe the dipstick and check that the oil level is between the two upper notches.
Ref. A (Fig. A1).

If necessary, add oil (see the LUBRICANTS section) via the filling hole

COOLANT LEVEL
CHECK
Set the lifting platform on a horizontal surface with the engine switched off and wait
for the engine to cool down.
- Open the left-hand cover.
- Slowly open the radiator cap 4 (Fig. A2) as far as the safety stop.
- Let the pressure and the steam escape.
- Press the cap down and turn it to remove it.
- Add coolant via the filling hole 5 (Fig. A2).
- Lightly grease the filling hole to assist inserting and removing the radiator cap.
To avoid the risk of splashes and scalds, wait for the engine to cool
down before removing the filling cap for the cooling system. If the
coolant is very hot, only add hot fluid (80°C). In the event of an
emergency, you can use water as the coolant and then proceed to drain
the cooling circuit as quickly as possible (see 3 - MAINTENANCE: E1
– COOLANT).
A3 -
FUEL LEVEL
CHECK
Keep the fuel tank as full as possible to reduce any condensation due to atmospheric
conditions as much as possible.
- Remove the cap 1 (Fig. A3)
- Top up the tank via the filling hole with clean Diesel, filtered through a strainer or
a clean, lint-free cloth.
Do not smoke or bring a naked flame near to the tank during filling
or when the tank is open. Never fill the tank with the engine running.
The fuel tank is vented by the filling cap. When changing the cap,
always use an original cap with the vent hole.
