Maintenance
To keep the engine in optimal
condition, use the recommended
engine oil and filter. If the recom-
mended engine oil and filter are
not used replace it according to
the maintenance schedule under
severe usage conditions.
The purpose of the maintenance
schedule for engine oil replace-
ment is to prevent oil deteriora-
tion and it is irrelevant to oil
consumption. Check and refill
engine oil regularly.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause irritation
or cancer of the skin if left in con-
tact with the skin for prolonged
periods of time. Used engine oil con-
tains chemicals that have caused
cancer in laboratory animals. Always
protect your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil. Do not leave
used engine oil within the reach of
children.
