CAUTION
In the unlikely event that gasoline by
mistake is filled into the oil tank, drain
the oil tank completely, and consult an
authorized service shop for advice.
Check the amount of oil in the oil tank
visually before starting the engine. Run-
ning out of oil at sea is a cause for
potential disaster.
The required amount of engine oil is auto-
matically supplied from the oil tank,
through the oil pump, according to the
engine running conditions. Gasoline is fed
over a separate feeding line.
