ground.
Remove the front cover, see p. 50 (RE-

If not, proceed as follows:
Loosen the filling cap (1) without remov-
ing it (give it half turn anticlockwise).
Wait a few seconds in order to release any
residual pressure.
Unscrew and remove the cap (1).
WARNING
The coolant is noxious: do not swallow
it; if the coolant gets in contact with the
skin or the eyes, it can cause serious irri-
tations.
Do not use your fingers or any other ob-
ject to check if there is enough coolant.
CAUTION
Do not put additives or other subtances
into the fluid.
If you use a funnel or other similar items,
make sure that they are perfectly clean.
CAUTION
While topping up, never exceed the
"MAX" level, otherwise the fluid will flow
out of the tank while the engine is run-
ning.
Top up with coolant, see p. 77 (LUBRI-
CANT CHART) until reaching approx. the
"MAX" notch.
Put back the filling cap (1).
CAUTION
In case of excessive consumption of cool-
ant and in case the tank remains empty,
make sure that there are no leaks in the
circuit. Have it repaired by an aprilia Of-
ficial Dealer.
Put back the front cover, see p. 50
(REMOVING THE FRONT COVER).
