However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started.
If the light comes on during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner,
it is necessary to check the oil level and top-up if required. If after having topped
up the oil, the warning light still turns on while braking, at idle speed or while
turning a corner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Service Centre.
Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04)
The oil and the filter must be changed as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table
at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptied by draining the oil
through the drainage plug «C» of the mesh filter on the transmission side. In order to
facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A». Since a certain quantity of oil still
remains in the circuit, engine oil must be poured in through plug «B». Then start up
the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after five minutes,
check the level and if necessary top-up without exceeding the MAX. level. The car-
tridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top-ups and oil changes, use
new oil of the recommended type.
CAUTION
RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-
QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING
PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.
TOPPING UP THE ENGINE WITH AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL MAY CAUSE
MALFUNCTION AND/OR A DROP IN PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.
USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE
OF THE ENGINE.
WARNING
EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND
VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONING.
