CONTROL AND TOPPING UP
For the maintenance intervals, see page 63 (PE-
RIODIC MAINTENANCE CHARTS), under:
- coolant.
Do not use the vehicle if the coolant level is be-
low the minimum level.
For the type of coolant to be used, see page 135
(LUBRICANTS) under:
- coolant.
Only use coolant of the specified type. If
other types are used, there is a build-up of
mineral salts that affect the efficiency of the
cooling system.
To change the liquid, it is advisable to go to
a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer.
When the engine is hot the coolant
is under pressure and reaches a high
temperature. If the cap is opened
there is the risk of burns to the skin.
ONLY remove the coolant cap (1)
- Make sure that the engine is cold.
- Place the vehicle on the stand.
-
Keep the vehicle upright with both wheels
resting on the ground.
- Turn the handlebar to the left.
-
Unscrew (by turning counter-clockwise) the
filler cap (1) by about one turn.
-
Wait for a few seconds to allow any pressure
in the system to be released.
-
Unscrew the filler cap (1) by turning counter-
clockwise and remove it.
FILL LEVEL
Having removed the cap, if the coolant level is
visible and fully covers the plates, then it is in the
condition of “fill level”.
If this level has not been reached, the coolant
must be topped up.
Take great care when adding the liquid not to
exceed the “fill level”, otherwise there could be
overflow when the vehicle is running, which
could affect operation.
If there is a high consumption of coolant, check
for leaks from the radiator or the pipe couplings.
Consult a
FANTIC MOTOR Dealer for repairs.
CARBURETTOR/THROTTLE CONTROL
IDLING
For the maintenance intervals, see page 63 (PE-
RIODIC MAINTENANCE CHARTS), under:
- idling.
To check the idling speed the vehicle engine
must be at normal running temperature. If the
check is made with a cool engine the calibration
will be out of tune.
CHECK
-
Run a few kilometres until normal operating
temperature is reached, then stop the vehi-
cle.
- Place it on the stand.
Take care not to touch the hot engine parts
with bare skin, as there is the risk of burns.
Work from the left side of the vehicle.
The engine idling speed must be approx.: 1500
± 100 rpm.
If the engine tends to cut out, without using the
throttle control, this means that the idling speed
must be adjusted using the screw located on the
carburettor.
when the engine is at ambient tem-
perature.
