To bleed the fuel system 

IF IT IS 

FITTED

 

 WITH AN ADDITIONAL 

ELECTRIC FUEL FEED PUMP : 

1. 

Fill totally the fuel tank. Open 

the fuel cock. 

2. 

Loose the venting screw 

. Use rags around the venting 
screw. 

3. 

Start the engine for 5 to 10 sec-

onds to let the electric fuel feed 
pump bring fuel to the injection 
pump. 

4. 

Pump the fuel using the lever 

 until fuel free of air bubbles 

flows from the venting screw. 

5. 

Continue pumping and at the 

same time tighten the venting 
screw. 

6. 

Pump few other times to prime 

the system.

 CAUTION 

Never over-fill the engine oil 
crankcase.

NOTICE: 

With a new or recon-

ditioned engine, oil and oil filters 
must be changed after 20 hours of 
operation. Use oil grades quality 
indicated in the chapter 

TECHNI-

CAL DATA

. Warranty claims may 

be rejected if unsuitable oil grade 
has been used. 

The viscosity may be adapted de-
pending the climatic conditions.  

Oil level- Adding 

engine oil 

Check the engine and transmission 
oil level before starting the engine. 
Always make sure that the level is 
in the safe range. 

The oil level should be within the 
range indicated on the dipstick, 
between the Mini and Max level. To 
check the oil level:

1. 

Remove and wipe the dipstick. 

2. 

Re-insert and remove the 

dipstick. 

3. 

Check that the oil level is be-

tween the Mini and Max mark.
