3. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the
FULL mark on the dipstick. The quantity of oil
needed from ADD to FULL is shown on the
dipstick. Do not add too much oil.
Add Petrol
WARNING: Always use a safety
petrol container. Do not smoke
when adding petrol to the fuel tank.
Do not add petrol when you are inside an

minutes.
(Figure 14) Fill the fuel tank (1) to the FULL (2)
position with regular unleaded petrol. Do not use
premium unleaded petrol. Make sure the petrol
is fresh and clean. Leaded petrol will increase
deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
