WARNING
Use latex gloves for the maintenance
operations that require contact with used
oil. Prolonged or repeated contact with
used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Although this is unlikely unless you
handle used oil on a daily basis, it is
advisable to thoroughly wash your hands
with soap and water after handling used
oil.
KEEP OIL AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF OIL PROPERLY.
CAUTION
Be very careful not to spill oil when putting
oil in your vehicle. Clean up any spilled oil
immediately because oil can damage the
finish of your vehicle. Also, oil on the tires
creates an extremely slippery and
therefore dangerous situation.
CAUTION
In case of oil leakage do not ride your
vehicle. Before using the vehicle, have it
repaired by your Local aprilia Dealer.
