Cooling Fluid Level - PIAGGIO Beverly 400 I.E Maintenance Instructions Manual

Cooling fluid level (03_13, 03_14, 03_15)

The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuit
contains approx. 1.8 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% demineralised
water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors.
The liquid supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.
For proper functioning of the engine, ensure that the temperature of the coolant re-
mains in the middle zone of gauge "L" on the instrument panel. If the needle of the
gauge enters the red zone, switch off the engine, allow to cool down and check the
coolant level; if the result is normal, turn to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

The fluid level must checked every 10,000 kilometres with a cold engine, in the way
shown below:
a) Place the scooter in a vertical position on the stand. Remove the cover by pulling
out the screw as shown in the figure.
b) Remove the expansion tank cover "A", turning in anticlockwise direction.
c) Look inside the expansion tank; a mark on the plastic part indicates the maximum
and minimum reference of the expansion tank.
d) Top up, if necessary, if the fluid level is below the MIN level on the scale inside the
expansion tank.
03_14
The fluid level must always be between MIN and MAX level
If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to be carried
out when the engine is cold. If it is necessary to top up the coolant frequently, or if the
expansion tank is completely dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system.
It is therefore indispensable to have the cooling system checked at an Authorised
Piaggio Service Centre.
The coolant should be replaced every 2 years. For this operation, please contact an
authorised Piaggio service centre.
N.B.
IF DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT COMES
03_15 ON, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK
