OOLING LIQUID LEVEL
CHECK

- Lubricate slightly the filler neck in order to facilitate the setting and the removal of the
radiator cap.
If the cooling liquid is very hot, add only hot cooling liquid (80°C). In an emergency,
you can use water as a cooling liquid, then change the cooling circuit liquid as soon
as possible (See chapter : F1 - COOLING LIQUID in paragraph : 3 - MAINTENANCE).

atmospheric conditions.

3 - MAINTENANCE), filtered through a strainer or a clean, lint free cloth, through filler
port 2 (Fig. A3).
- Put the cap back 1 (Fig. A3).
Never smoke or approach with a flame during filling operations or when the tank is
open. Never refill while I.C. engine is running.
The fuel tank is degassed via the filler plug. When changing it, always use an original
part, with degassing hole.
