Engine oil
In four stroke 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 four stroke engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should
be considered 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".
Replacement
Change oil as indicated in the scheduled mainte-
nance table. The engine must be emptied by drain-
ing the oil through the drainage plug «B» of the
mesh pre-filter, flywheel side; furthermore, to fa-
cilitate oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick «A».
Once all the oil has drained through the drainage
opening, unscrew and remove the oil cartridge fil-
ter «C ».
Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the
circuit, fill adding approx. 600 ÷ 650 cm³ of oil
through the cap «A». Then start up the vehicle,
leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off:
After about five minutes, check the level and, if
necessary, top-up but never exceeding the MAX
level reference mark.
NOTE
THE ENGINE MUST BE HOT WHEN THE OIL IS CHANGED.
