Engine oil top-up

Always check oil level before carrying out top-ups and add oil without exceeding the

MAX level. An engine oil check-up and top-up should be carried out every 3,000 km

at an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that lights up when the key is turned to

the «ON». However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started. If

the light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is

necessary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-

up the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while

turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-

ice Centre.

Engine oil change (03_02, 03_03)

Oil must be changed and filter replaced at an Authorised Service Centre (as indi-

cated in the Scheduled Maintenance Table). The engine should be emptied by

draining the oil from the drainage plug «B » of the gauze filter on the flywheel side. In

order to facilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A». Since a certain quantity of

oil remains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out from the cap«A».

Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off: after

about five minutes check the level and if necessary top up without exceeding the

MAX level.

The cartridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is changed. For top-ups and

changes use new oil of the recommended type.

WARNING

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.
