FUEL TIPS AND SAFETY WARNINGS
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. It burns violently and can cause serious injury.
°
Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid inhaling fumes and skin contact. Never allow
sparks, flame or smoking materials near gasoline!
The fuel gauge on the instrument panel is only an approximate indicator of the amount of fuel
°
remaining. For the most accurate reading, check on level ground while stationary.
Try to keep fuel tank filled. This prevents the formation of condensation in the fuel tank. In
°
extremely wet and cold weather a fuel dryer may be needed. See your Lambretta dealer for a
list of approved products. Never refuel with the engine running.
For safety and emissions, use only Lambretta original or approved fuel filler cap.
°
Allow for fuel expansion by not overfilling the tank. Overfilling could also cause damage to the
°
emission control systems. This is a fire hazard, as fuel may spill if put on side stand. Spilling
gasoline is bad for the environment.
A damaged and improperly installed fuel cap is a dangerous fire hazard as well as bad for the
°
environment. It causes venting of gas vapors into the atmosphere.
Lambretta recommends the use of gasoline containing deposit control additives. These
°
additives have shown to be effective in keeping carburetor and intake valves clean.
Continuing to use deposit control gasoline will ensure good performance and fuel economy. If
you are not sure about which gasoline in your area contains deposit control additives, check
with a Lambretta dealer.
