Warninglight(insufficientoilpressure)
The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on 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 nec-
essary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-up
the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while
turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-
ice Centre.

Engineoilchange (03_02, 03_03)
The oil and cartridge filter " C " must be changed after 1,000 km and every 10,000 km
at an authorised Piaggio service centre . The engine should be emptied by draining
the oil from the drainage cap " B " of the gauze filter on the flywheel side. In order to
facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity of oil re-
mains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of
oil from cap "
A ". Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and
switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top up without ex-
ceeding the MAX. level . The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change.
For top up and change, 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.
