Do not add any chemical additives to
the engine oil. The engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and any additives
could cause the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-
detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil
not
conforming
specification. The use of these oils may
cause instant, severe engine damage.
Make sure that no foreign matter enters
