N.B.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FILTERING ELEMENT CLEANING RULES MAY LEAD INCORRECT
LUBRICATION OF THE PART INVOLVED. POOR LUBRICATION COMPROMISES THE FILTERING
ELEMENT CAPACITY. EXCESSIVE LUBRICATION, AS WELL AS A DIRTY FILTER, RESULTS IN
A RICH CARBURATION.
Engine oil
In four stroke engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings
and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.
In all four stroke engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should
be considered normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption levels in particular can be
influenced by the conditions of use (e.g.: oil consumption increases when driving at "full throttle".
