BLEEDING THE MIXER OIL TANK
(Fig. 46-47)
Read page 50 carefully.
b
If you run out of oil in the mixer tank, or if
the mixer oil pipe is removed, it is neces-
sary to bleed the system. This operation
is indispensable, since the running of the engine
with air in the mixer oil system may cause seri-
ous damages to the engine itself.
Proceed as follows:
– remove the saddle (see "GLOVE COMPART-
MENT"- page 23);
– remove the plug (1-Fig. 46);
– top up the mixer oil tank (see "MIXER OIL TANK" -
page 30);
– remove the left fairing;
– remove the mixer oil pump cover ;
– remove the cross-slotted screw (1-Fig. 47) posi-
tioned on the oil mixer pump and wait until the oil
has flowed out of the hole;
– when the outflowing oil doesn't present air bubbles
any more, put the screw back and tighten it (1-
Fig. 47).
b
It is important to wait until the air has
completely gone out, since the engine
can be seriously damaged if it runs with
air in the mixer oil system.
