5.3.3 Filling with oil and fuel
NOTE
The engine manual indicates what type
of oil and fuel you can use.
With the engine off, check the oil
level. According to the instruc-
tions in the engine manual, this
must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick.
Refuel using a funnel, but do not
completely fill the tank.
The tank's capacity is about
7 liters.
DANGER!
Refuelling should be carried out in an open or well-venti-
lated area with the engine off. Always remember that
petrol fumes are inflammable. DO NOT USE A NAKED
FLAME TO LOOK INSIDE THE TANK AND DO NOT
SMOKE WHEN REFUELLING.
IMPORTANT
Do not drip petrol onto the plastic parts to
avoid damaging them. In the event of accidental spills or
leaks, rinse immediately with water. The warranty does not
cover for damage to plastic parts of the bodywork or the
engine caused by petrol.
