LUBRICATION SYSTEM
SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
• If the engine must be running
to
do some work, make sure the area is well-ventilated. Never run the engine in an
enclosed area. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that may cause loss of consciousness and may lead
to
death. Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation system in an enclosed area.
• Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is
unlikely unless you handle used oil on
a
daily basis, it is still advisable
to
thoroughly wash your hands with soap and
water as soon as possible after handling used oil. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• The oil pump can be serviced with the engine installed in the frame.
• For engine oil level check, see page 3-10.
• For engine oil and filter change, see page 3-11.
• For oil pressure indicator inspection, see page 19-13
