N.B.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE RULES REGARDING CLEAN-
ING OF THE FILTER ELEMENT CAN LEAD TO IMPROPER
LUBRICATION OF THE ELEMENT. POOR LUBRICATION
AFFECTS THE FILTERING CAPACITY. EXCESSIVE LUBRI-
CATION AS WITH A SOILED FILTER CAUSES AN EXCES-
SIVELY RICH FUEL/AIR MIXTURE.
CAUTION
WHEN TRAVELLING ON DUSTY ROADS, THE AIR FILTER
MUST BE CLEANED MORE OFTEN THAN SHOWN IN THE
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHART.
WARNING
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IF THE AIR FILTER IS NOT IN
PLACE THIS WILL RESULT IN EXCESSIVE WEAR TO ALL
THE PARTS OF THE COOLING SYSTEM.
Engine oil
In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and the
thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.
In all 4T engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should be con-
sidered normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption levels in particular can be influenced
by the conditions of use (e.g.: oil consumption increases when driving at "full throttle".
Check
This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and following the procedure below:
1) Rest the vehicle on the central stand and on a
flat ground.
2) Unscrew the cap/dipstick "A", dry it with a clean
cloth and reinsert it, screwing it thoroughly.
3) Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that
the level is between the max. and min levels; top-
up, if required.
Topping up from the MIN to MAX. level requires
around 1700 cc.
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 cor-
rect check it is necessary to wait at least 10 mi-
nutes after the engine has been stopped, so as to
get the correct level.
Oil top up
The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without ever
exceeding the MAX. level.
