WARNING! Used motor 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.
NOTE: Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a
sealed container to your local service station for reclamation. Do
not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all temperature use.
When adding oil to the engine, refer to the viscosity chart shown

container.
Single Viscosity1.
Multi Viscosity2.
CAUTION! DO NOT use non-detergent oil or
2-stroke engine oil. It could shorten the engine’s
service life.
