Engine oil level check (03_02)
Every time the scooter is used, a visual check should be made on the level of the
engine oil when the engine is cold. The oil level should be somewhere between the
MAX and MIN index marks on the level bar; the check must be made with the scooter
upright, resting on the centre stand. If the check is carried out after the vehicle has
been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry
out a correct check, wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as
to get the correct level.
Engine oil top-up
Any topping up with oil must be carried out after checking the oil level by adding oil,
but
never exceeding the MAX level . Getting an oil level between the MIN and
MAX marks requires approx . 400 cm³ of oil. Every 3000 km, however, take your
scooter to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre to have the engine oil level should
be checked and if necessary, topped up.
Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)
The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned to
«
ON ». However, this light should come 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.
