Coolingfluidlevel (03_20, 03_21, 03_22, 03_23)
The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuit
contains approx. 1.8 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% demineralised
water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors.
The liquid supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.
For the engine to work properly, the coolant temperature must range between a min-
imum value of 60 °C and a maximum value of 105 °C, as indicated by the instrument
"
D " on the analogue instrument panel by coloured references. If the pointer enters into
the red zone, stop the engine, let it cool down and check the fluid level; if the result is
normal, turn to an
Authorised Piaggio Service Centre .
The fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the engine is cold,
following the methods indicated below.
a) Rest the scooter on its centre stand, on flat ground.
b) Remove the filler cap cover by loosening the screw shown in the figure.
c) Remove the plug from expansion tank " A " by turning it counter clockwise.
d) Look into the expansion tank: a mark on the plastic part indicates the maximum and
minimum reference of the expansion tank.
