CANT CHART ).
Always check the engine oil level before
starting the vehicle.
CHECKING
NOTE
Position the vehicle on firm and
flat ground.
N
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
WARNING
The engine and the components of the
exhaust system become very hot and
remain hot for some time after the en-
gine has been stopped. Before handling
these components, wear insulating
gloves or wait until the engine and the
exhaust system have cooled down.
N
Stop the engine and let it cool down, in
order to allow the oil to flow into the oil
pan and to cool down.
NOTE
The non-performance of the op-
erations described above may result in the
incorrect measurement of the engine oil
level.
N
Check the oil level through the appropri-
ate sight glass (1):
MAX = maximum level;
MIN = minimum level.
The difference between "MAX" and
"MIN" is about 300 cm#.
N
The level is correct when the oil almost
reaches the "MAX" mark.
CAUTION
Never exceed the "MAX" mark, nor
leave the oil below the "MIN" mark, in
order to avoid serious damage to the
engine.
N
If necessary, provide for topping up.
TOPPING UP
N
Unscrew and remove the engine oil filler
cap (2).
N
Pour a small quantity of oil in the filling
hole (3) and wait about one minute, so
that the oil flows uniformly into the oil
pan.
N
Check the oil level and top up if neces-
sary.
N
Top up by adding small quantities of oil,
until reaching the prescribed level.
CAUTION
After topping up, put back the cap (2) in
the correct position.
N
Screw and tighten the engine oil filler cap
(2).
WARNING
Do not use the vehicle with insufficient
lubrication or with contaminated or un-
suitable lubricants, since this would ac-
celerate the wear of the moving parts
and may also cause irreparable failures.
