WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
SPARK PLUG:
Not all the spark plugs for endothermic engines are the same!
a) Use only spark plugs of the recommended type, with the right heat range.
b) Check the length of the thread, because – if too long – it will damage the engine beyond repair.
c) Make sure that the electrodes are clean and their gap is correct.
STANDARDS OF USE
BEFORE EVERY USE:
Before every use, perform the following checking procedures in order to assurea regular operation.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL:
See the specic chapter for the oil to be used.
a) Place the engine level.
b) Clean around oil ll.
c) Unscrew the cap, clean the end of the dipstick and insert it, as illustrated, without screwing it down.
d) Remove the cap with the dipstick and check the oil level that must be between “MIN” and “MAX”
marks.
e) If oil is required, add oil of the same kind up to the “MAX” mark, being careful not to spill any outside
the oil ll.
f) Fully tighten the llercap and wipe o any spilled oil.
CHECK THE AIR CLEANER:
The eciency of the air lter is fundamental for the engine to work properly. Do not start the engine if
the ltering element is missing or broken.
a) Clean around the lter cover.
b) Open the clips of the two sides of the air lter cover.
c) Check the condition of the ltering element. It must be intact, clean and in pefect working order; if
not, either carry out maintenance or replace it.
d) Put the cover back.
SPARK PLUG CAP:
Firmly connect the cable cap to the spark plug, making sure that there are not traces of dirt inside the
cap and on the spark plug terminal.
