Used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which
cause skin disorders such as in-
flammation or skin cancer, so care
should be taken to avoid prolonged
and repeated contact with it. To re-
move used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap
and water.
D
Do not leave used oil within the
reach of children.
D
Dispose of used oil and filter only
in a safe and acceptable manner.

ter in household trash, in sewers or
onto the ground. Call your dealer
for information concerning recycling
or disposal.

Take care when filling the brake
fluid reservoir because brake fluid
can harm your eyes and damage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets in
your eyes, flush your eyes with
clean water immediately. If you still
feel uncomfortable with your eyes,
go to the doctor.
