CHECKING
NOTE
Position the vehicle on firm and
flat ground.
◆
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.

WARNING
The engine and the components of the
exhaust system become very hot and
remain hot for some time after the
engine has been stopped. Before
handling these components, wear
insulating gloves or wait until the
engine and the exhaust system have
cooled down.
◆
Stop the engine and let it cool down, in
order to allow the oil to flow into the oil
pan and to cool down.
NOTE
The non-performance of the
operations described above may result in
the incorrect measurement of the engine
oil level.
◆
Unscrew and extract the plug/dipstick
(1).
◆
Clean the part in contact with the oil with
a clean cloth.

CAUTION
Never exceed the "MAX" mark, nor
leave the oil below the "MIN" mark, in
order to avoid serious damage to the
engine.

If necessary, provide for topping up.
TOPPING UP
◆
Pour a small quantity of oil in the filling
hole (2) and wait about one minute, so
that the oil flows uniformly into the oil
pan.

Check the oil level and top up if
necessary.

Top up by adding small quantities of oil,
until reaching the prescribed level.
◆
At the end of the operation, screw and
tighten the plug/dipstick (1).

WARNING
Do not use the vehicle with insufficient
lubrication or with contaminated or
unsuitable lubricants, since this would
accelerate the wear of the moving parts
and may also cause irreparable failures.
