The scooter is equipped with a warning light « H » that lights up when the key is turned
to « ON ».
However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started.
If the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is
necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If, after having topped
up the oil, the warning light keeps on turning on while braking, at idling speed
or while turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Author-
ised Piaggio Service Centre.

Engineoilchange (03_03, 03_04)
The oil and cartridge filter « C » should be replaced every 6,000 km (125 cc) or 12,000
Km (250 cc) at an Authorized Piaggio Service Centre . The engine should be emp-
tied by draining the oil from the filter drainage tap « B » on the flywheel side. In order
to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/bar. Since a certain quantity of oil remains
in the circuit still, the fill-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of oil from
cap «
A ». Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off:
after around 5 minutes, check the level and top up if necessary without ever ex-
ceeding the MAX level . The cartridge filter should be replaced every time the oil is
changed. For top ups and replacements 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.
