Checking the brake oil level (03_17, 03_18)
The brake fluid reservoirs are located on the pumps under the front handlebar cover
(front on the right-hand side, rear on the left-hand side). The procedures to checking
the brake fluid level for the front and rear brakes are identical.
Proceed as follows:
1. rest the scooter on its centre stand and make sure the handlebar is centred;
2. loosen screw "A" and remove cover " B ";
3. check the fluid level through the respective sight glass " C ".
A certain lowering of the level is caused by wear on the pads. Should the level appear
to be below the minimum mark, please contact your nearest
Authorised PIAGGIO
Dealer or Service Centre in order to have braking system thoroughly inspected. Pro-
ceed as follows:
Remove tank cover « D » and loosen the two screws « E » and top-up the brake fluid
level using only the prescribed brake fluid and without exceeding the maximum level.
Under normal climatic conditions, the brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years.
This operation must be carried out by trained technicians; take your scooter to a
PIAGGIO Dealer or authorised Service Centre .
