the protective cover, until fuel appears in
the transparent pipe,
- operate the starter until the engine starts. Low fuel level
When the needle is at the start of

tank level is reached when this
warning light comes on. At this moment,
you have approximately 8 litres of fuel

after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 80 litres.
