Checking The Brake Oil Level - VESPA LX 150 i.e. Manual

Checking the brake oil level (04_18, 04_19)

The brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a sight glass «A». The sight glass shows
the level in the reservoir.
With sight glass «A» completely covered with fluid, the level is above Min. If the level
drops, even slightly, the fluid level is considered Min.
If no fluid is visible through the sight glass, the fluid level is below Minimum. The brake
fluid level may fall due to wear of the brake pads. If this happens take the scooter to
an Authorized Piaggio Service Center for a general check-up of the brakes. If you
need to fill up the fluid follow the steps listed below. Unscrew the 2 screws «B» remove
the reservoir cap «C» and pour in the required quantity of fluid (the brake fluid level
must be above minimum). Check the level with the reservoir in a horizontal position,
i.e. with the handlebars straight and the scooter perfectly level.

ONLY USE DOT 4 CLASSIFIED BRAKE FLUIDS. THE BRAKE CIRCUIT FLUID
HAS A STRONG CORROSIVE POWER: DO NOT LET IT COME INTO CONTACT
WITH THE PAINTED PARTS.
AVOID CONTACT OF THE BRAKE FLUID WITH EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING. IN
CASE OF CONTACT, RINSE WITH WATER. THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS
HYGROSCOPIC, THAT IS TO SAY IT ABSORBS HUMIDITY FROM THE SUR-
ROUNDING AIR. IF THE HUMIDITY IN THE BRAKE FLUID EXCEEDS A CERTAIN
VALUE, IT WILL LEAD TO INEFFICIENT BRAKING. NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID
CONTAINED IN CONTAINERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN OPENED, OR PAR-
TIALLY USED.
