Special Important Points

Oil and fuel

This engine is designed to run on 95 or 98 unleaded fuel only.

 Fuel pipes must absolutely be changed if there are any signs of wear, cracks, etc.

The air pipe between the air pump and the exhaust is specific owing to its heat resistance properties.

Should it be changed, replace it with a genuine pipe.

The clips are specific, they must always be changed each time they are removed and replaced with new genuine parts clips.

  Petrol is highly inflammable, do not smoke in the working area and avoid proximity to flames or sparks.

Before carrying out any work, leave the engine to cool for at least 2 hours.
