5. REGULATIONS FOR USE

5.1 BEFORE EACH USE

Before every use, perform the following checking
procedures in order to assure a regular operation.
5.1.1 Oil level check
6. Place the machine on a flat surface.
7. Clean around the oil fill cap.
8. Unscrew the cap(fig. 2.A), clean the
end of the dipstick (fig. 2.B) and slide
it back in until the cap is touching the
hole, as shown without tightening it:
9. Remove the cap with the dipstick and
check the oil level that must be between
the «MIN» and «MAX» marks.
10. If oil is required, add oil of the same kind
up to the «MAX» mark, being careful
not to spill any outside the oil fill
11. Fully tighten the filler cap (fig. 2.A)
and wipe off any spilled oil.
NOTE Top up gradually, adding small amounts
of oil, checking the level each time.
Do not top up beyond the «MAX» level;
an excessive level can cause:
• smoking from the exhaust;
• soiling of the spark plug or air filter with
subsequent difficulty for ignition.
NOTE For the required type of oil, observe the
indications provided in the technical data table.
5.1.2 Air filter control
The efficiency of the air filter is essential to
correct engine operation; do not start the engine

maintenance or replace it (para 6.5).
4. Close the cover gain by turning
the opening knob (fig. 3.A).
