EMPTYING THE CARBURETOR FLOAT BOWL
After washing or driving in wet environments (watercourses, etc.)
the carburetor float bowl should be emptied to remove any water
that may have entered. Water in the float bowl causes working
problems. Carry this operation out when the engine is cold. Close
the fuel tap and place a container underneath the carburetor to
collect the fuel coming out. Now open the screw (1) to empty the
fuel and water. Re-close the screw, open the fuel tap and control
tightness of the system.
- THE FUEL IS HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE AND TOXIC. HANDLE THE FUEL
WITH CARE. NEVER CARRY OUT OPERATIONS ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
NEAR TO FLAMES OR CIGARETTES.
- ALWAYS ALLOW THE ENGINE TO COOL. USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE
ANY OVERFLOWING FUEL. MATERIALS IMPREGNATED WITH FUEL ARE
ALSO HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE. IF YOU SWALLOW FUEL OR IT COMES
INTO CONTACT WITH THE EYES, CONSULT A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
- DISPOSE OF FUEL ACCORDING TO THE REGULATIONS ENVISIONED IN
YOUR COUNTRY.
CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
You should check the level of the transmission oil with the engine at
standstill but while it is still warm. Park the vehicle on level ground and
keep it vertical (not on its side stand).
Remove the cap at the top (1) and the screw on the right-hand side (2).
The correct level is determined by the screw (2).
If no transmission oil drips out of the latter then you will need to top up
the level through the cap (1). If instead some oil does drip out, this means
there is plenty of oil inside and you should wait until the oil stops dripping
out and reaches the level of the hole.
You are advised to use the same type of transmission oil already in the
engine.
WARNING
LOW OIL LEVEL, LOW QUALITY OIL, MAINTENANCE INTERVALS LONGER
THAN THOSE ESTABLISHED, CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE
