CAUTION
!
● Do not add engine oil of brand and
grade other than existing one. In
case engine oil of other brand or
grade is added, drain all oil and ask
dealer for treatment.
● In case other than engine oil such
as gasoline is put in the oil chamber,
empty the chamber and ask dealer
for treatment.
● When replenishing engine oil, be
careful not to allow entry of foreign
matters such as dust and water into
