BLEEDING THE MIXER OIL TANK

Carefully read p. 35 (MIXER OIL TANK)
NOTE
Bleed the mixer oil system whenever the mixer
oil tank is completely empty or the oil supply pipe is
disconnected to remove the tank.
CAUTION
Carefully wash your hands after handling the oil.
Dispose of the oil properly.
BE SURE TO KEEP THE DRAINED OIL AWAY FROM
CHILDREN.
♦ Place the vehicle on the center stand.
♦ Fill the mixer oil tank completely.
♦ Carry out the automatic bleeding procedure as follows:
Turn the acceleration handlebar to the end of its
travel with the key removed.
Keeping the acceleration handlebar turned, turn
the key to the "ON" position.
This situation (acceleration turned – key at "ON")
must be maintained until you hear a click (sound)
from the oil pump (5) or until you see the oil
moving through the oil delivery pipe (6), which is
transparent.
Release the acceleration handlebar; at this point
the pump will continue to pump oil.
This operation will be completed as soon as there
are no longer any air bubbles inside the pipe.
At this point, the lubrication system has been
bled.
Turn the key back to the "OFF" position.
CAUTION
It is important to ensure that no air remains in the
line, since running the engine with air in the mixer oil
can seriously damage it.
