Handling Engine Oil
Before pouring engine oil into the engine, stop the engine and make sure there are no flames near the engine.
Oil leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can cause a fire. Wipe any spilled oil immedi-
ately and thoroughly.
After pouring engine oil, close filler cap surely.
Never mix different brands of engine oil. Mixing different brands of engine oil may cause a chemical reaction
by the additives in the engine oil that could degrade the engine oil quality.
If oil of more than the legally specified amount must be handled, be sure to have the work performed by a ser-
vice station in compliance with the legal regulations.
Use an oil pump to remove oil from the engine or oil can. Do not use a hose to siphon with the mouth.
Be sure to close the cap on the oil can after use.
Keep oil in a well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight.
Be sure to obtain the MSDS (material safety data sheet) of the engine oil used and follow the instructions.
