Oil mixture
Even if a 4 stroke, the motor is lubricated with oil for 2 strokes that
is mixed automatically to the gasoline and consumed when it is
used.
Even if the oil autonomy is remarkable, be always
sure of having in the tank a sufficient oil quantity.
For the oil mixture refuelling see the following steps. All refuelling
and maintenance operations must be carried out when engine is
switched off.
•
Remove the top cowling from the motor.
•
Open the oil filler cap (the smaller tank) and use 2 stroke
oil as per below mentioned specifications.
