IV. Operating Instructions:
- Before starting the cold engine the cowl flap can now be closed with the
actuating lever.
- When reaching the cylinder head temperature of about 90° C the cowl flap
can be again fully or partially opened depending on the outside temperature.
- In case the flap was forgotten to be opened, the red warning light will light up
when the cylinder head temperature reaches 130° C. The cowl flap should be
then forthwith fully opened as well as the engine output should be reduced if
possible so that to allow for an immediate cooling down of the engine.
- For dismantling the lower cowling (100 h control, oil change) the Bowden
cable can be disconnected directly on the cowl flap. For that, after removal of
the circlip it is necessary to pull the cotter bolt and by unscrewing the lentil-
flange head screw (long Allen key) to remove the Bowden cable holder. The
cowling can be now dismanteled without problems.
- Assembling can be carried out in reversed order.
