APRILIA 6.5 - 1996 Manual page 20

It is necessary to change the engine oil
after the first 1000 km and afterwards
every 6000 km, see p. 37 (CHANGING
THE ENGINE OIL AND THE OIL FIL-
TER); to check the oil level, see p. 36
(CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
AND TOPPING UP).
Remember:
1 mi = 1,6 km
1 km = 0,625 mi
Oil can cause severe damages
to the skin if handled every
day and for long. Wash your
hands carefully after using it.
If the vehicle is used in very
dusty areas, the oil should be
changed more frequently.
Do not dispose of oil in the environ-
ment. Put it in a sealed container and
take it to the filling station where you
usually buy it.

Sudden play variations or elastic
resistance on the brake lever are
due to troubles in the hydraulic
system. For any doubt regarding the
perfect functioning of the braking sys-
tem and in case you are not able to
carry out the usual checking operation-
s, contact your Official Dealer.
Make sure that the brake disc and the
friction surface are neither oily nor
greasy, especially after maintenance or
checking operations.
Check that the brake cables are neither
twisted nor worn out.
Prevent water or dust from accidentally
getting into the circuit.
If the brake fluid gets in contact with
the skin or the eyes, it can cause
serious irritations.
Carefully wash the parts of your body
that get in contact with the liquid.
Consult a doctor or an oculist if the liq-
uid gets in contact with your eyes.
Do not dispose of brake fluid in the en-
vironment.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN
When using the brake fluid, take
care not to spill it on the plastic
or painted parts, since it can
damage them.
