7.2 REFUELLING
To refuel:
• Unscrew the tank closure cap and remove it
(fig. 10.K).
• Refuel.
• Close the fuel cap securely after refuelling and
clean away any spills (fig. 10.K).
NOTE Do not fill the fuel tank right to the top.
NOTE Only use the fuel indicated in the data
table. Do not use other types of fuel. It is possible
to use ecological fuels, i.e. alkylate petrol. The
composition of this petrol is less harmful to people
and the environment. No negative effects linked
to use of the same have been reported. However,
there are types of alkylate-based petrol available
on the market for which it is not possible to give
precise indications regarding their use. For
further information it is advisable to consult the
instructions and data provided by the producer of
the alkylate-based petrol.
NOTE Fuel is perishable and should not remain
in the tank for more than 30 days. Before storing
for a long period, fill the tank with a sufficient
amount of fuel to reach final destination (chap. 8).

par. 7.2
Do not overfill as this could cause the
engine to overheat. If the oil level exceeds the
"MAX" mark, the oil must be drained until the
correct level is achieved.
NOTE For the type of oil to use, see the
"Technical Data Table".
7.3.2 Replacement
The oil may be very hot if removed just
after the engine has been switched off.
Consequently allow the engine to cool down
for a few minutes before proceeding to drain
off the oil.
Replace the engine oil based on the frequency
indicated in the "Maintenance Table". Change the
oil more frequently if the engine has to operate in
demanding conditions.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the machine on a flat surface.
2. Place a suitable container under the drain
plug.
3. Remove the top-up cap (fig. 10.H)
4. Remove the drain cap (fig. 10.I)
5. Collect the oil in a suitable vessel.
