TRANSMISSION OIL

Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles.
It is necessary to change the transmission oil after
the first 1000 km and successively every 12000 km
(see "CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
AND TOPPING UP" - page 53, "CHANGING THE
TRANSMISSION OIL" - page 54 and "LUBRICANT
CHART" - page 84).
a
Used transmission oil can cause severe
damages to the skin if handled every day
and for long.
Wash your hands carefully after using it.
b
If the vehicle is used in very dusty areas,
the transmission oil should be changed
more frequently.
Do not dispose of oil in the environment.
Put it in a sealed container and take it to the fill-
ing station where you usually buy it.
BRAKE FLUID (recommendations)
a
Sudden clearance variations or elastic re-
sistance on the brake lever are due to
troubles in the hydraulic system.
For any doubt regarding the perfect functioning
of the braking system and in case you are not
able to carry out the usual checking operations,
contact your aprilia Official Dealer.
Make sure that the brake disc and the friction sur-
faces are neither oily nor greasy, especially after
maintenance or checking operations.
Check that the brake cable is neither twisted nor
worn out.
Prevent water or dust from accidentally getting
into the circuit.
If the brake fluid gets in contact with the skin or
the eyes, it can cause serious irritations.
Carefully wash the parts of your body that get in
contact with the liquid. Consult a doctor or an oc-
ulist if the liquid gets in contact with your eyes.
Do not dispose of fluid in the environment.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN
b
When using the brake fluid, take care not
to spill it on the plastic or painted parts,
since it can damage them.
