8.2 REFUELLING
Refuelling must be performed with the
machine stopped and with the spark
plug cap removed.
To refuel:
1. Unscrew the tank closing cap (fig.5.I) and
remove it.
2. Insert the funnel supplied.
3. Refuel.
4. At the end of refuelling, screw the fuel plug
back on and clean any spillage.
NOTE Do not fill the fuel tank until the rim.
NOTE Only use the fuel specified in the
technical data table. Do not use other types
of fuel. Ecological fuels may be used, such as
alkylate based petrol. The composition of this
petrol has a lower impact on people and on the
environment. No negative effects have been
reported in connection to their use. Nonetheless,
there are types of alkylate petrol on the market
for which it is not possible to provide specific
indications on their use. For further information,
refer to the instructions and data provided by the
manufacturer of the alkylate based petrol.
NOTE Fuel is perishable and should not remain
in the tank for more than 30 days. Before storing
for long periods, fill the tank with a fuel quantity
sufficient for finishing the last use.

8.3 CHECK/TOP-UP ENGINE OIL
Always check the oil level before use .
NOTE The machine is delivered to the user
without engine oil.
8.3.1 Check /top-up
Procedure:
• Clean around the plug (fig. 5.J). Unscrew and
remove it. Clean the rod.
• Insert the rod completely, without screwing it
in position.
• Remove the rod again and check the oil level.
• If the level is low, top up to the "L" mark (fig. 8).
Do not overfill as this could cause
the engine to overheat. If the oil level
exceeds the “H” mark, drain until the
correct level is achieved
NOTE For the oil type to be used, see the
"Technical data table".
8.3.2 Replacement
The oil may be very hot if removed just
after the engine has been switched
off. Consequently allow the engine to
cool down for a few minutes before
proceeding to drain off the oil.
Replace the engine oil at the intervals indicated
in the "Maintenance table". Replace the oil
more often if the engine must operate in difficult
conditions.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place a collection container next to the
discharge pipe.
2. Remove the discharge plug (fig. 5.L).
3. Collect the oil in a suitable vessel.
4. Screw the oil discharge plug.
5. Clean up any spills.
6. Fill with new oil. For the required oil quantity,
see the "Technical data table" .
7. Upon each refuelling, start the engine and let
it run for at least 30 seconds.
8. Check that there are no oil leakages.
9. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and
check the oil level again. If necessary, also
see "check/top up" (par. 8.3.1).
