Hub oil level (03_06, 03_07, 03_08)

Check that there is oil in the rear hub. Proceed as follows in order to check the hub
oil level:
1) Place the vehicle on its central stand on a level surface.
2) Unscrew the oil bar «A», dry it with a clean cloth and reinsert it, screwing it in
completely.
3) Remove the dipstick and make sure the oil level is between MIN and MAX. If the
level is under MIN, the correct amount of oil needs to be added to the hub.
4) Screw the bar back in, checking that it is tightly in place.
N.B.
THE REFERENCE MARKS ON THE HUB OIL LEVEL DIPSTICK, EXCEPT FOR
THE ONE INDICATING THE "MAX" LEVEL, REFER TO OTHER MODELS BY THE
MANUFACTURER AND HAVE NO SPECIFIC FUNCTION FOR THIS MODEL.
CAUTION
RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH INSUFFICIENT HUB LUBRICATION OR WITH CON-
TAMINATED OR IMPROPER LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND
TEAR OF THE MOVING PARTS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
