4.3 FRONT/REAR BRAKE FLUID
4.3.1 Check
every 30 days
• The visual check has to be done through the tanks indicator (S): A
- Fig. 23 (front brake), B - Fig. 23.1 (rear brake for the "twin disks"
version), when the scooter is on a flat ground and perfectly upright.
• The level is correct when it is at 3 mm from the lowest mark.
• Top up by removing the covers (A - B), after unloosening the
fastening screws. We suggest using: Q8 BRAKE FLUID DOT 4
or equivalent.
4.3.2 Change every 2 years or 10000km (6,240 mi)
• If the brake fluid contains sediment, wastes or water, it must be
completely renewed.
• An excessive play of the brake lever, probably indicates air
presence in the circuit. Immediately apply to a MALAGUTI Vendor/
EN
Dealer.
Note: to ensure the long life and efficiency of your scooter, we
recommend having these operations made by a MALAGUTI Vendor/
Dealer.
The hydraulic brake fluid is corrosive and can cause
damages and injuries. Avoid any possible contact with your
eyes and skin. Do not mix different types of brake fluids.
Check the perfect seal of the container.

4.4 SPARK PLUG
Type of spark plugs to be used:
NGK BR 8HS
The spark plug is an important element:
• A proper care of the spark plug is important for a good working of
the engine.
• To maintain it, just remove the power cap from the spark plug
and unscrew the spark plug with the appropriate spanner kept
under the saddle (if the engine is hot, be careful to prevent
burns).
• Check the spark plug when the engine is hot, as sediments and
discolouring of the insulator provide helpful indications on spark
plug thermal condition, as well as on carburation and on the
general conditions of the engine.
• A light brown colour of the insulator around the central electrode
indicates a proper working condition.
• Other colours can indicate an engine failure. Do not try to solve
the problem by yourself, but refer to one of our Vendors/Dealers.
• Checking and servicing of the spark plug shall be made every
1000/1500 km (625/935 mi), and replacing every 7000 km
(4370 mi).
