Maintenance
Lubricate them and refit the mesh filter and the oil
drainage plug, screwing them up to the prescribed
torque.
Refit the new cartridge filter being careful to lubri-
cate the O-ring before fitting it.
Change the engine oil.
Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the
circuit, oil must be filled from 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 ex-
ceeding the MAX level reference mark. The car-
tridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is
changed. Use new oil of the recommended type
for topping up and changing purposes.
N.B.
THE ENGINE MUST BE HOT WHEN THE OIL IS CHANGED.

Check
This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and following the procedure below:
1. Place the vehicle on its centre stand and on flat ground.
2. Undo cap/dipstick "A", dry it off with a clean cloth and replace it, screwing down completely.
3. Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that the level is between the min and max marks; top-
up, if required.
The MAX. level mark indicates a quantity of around 1300 cm³ of engine oil. If the check is carried out
after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level will be lower; in order to carry
out a correct check, wait at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct
level.
