POINTS ON OIL
– Never discard replaced engine oil in garbage, earth or sewage ditch. Disposal of oil is regulated by law. In disposal, always follow the
relevant laws and regulations. For any points remaining unknown, contact Authorized Service Agent.
– Oil will deteriorate even when it is kept unused. Perform inspection and replacement at regular intervals (replace with new oil every 6
months).
Points in Handling Air Cleaner Element
– Clean the element several times a day, if excessive dust adheres to it.
– If operation continues with the element remaining not cleared of oil, oil
in the air cleaner may fall outside, resulting in oil contamination.
4) Detach the oil gauge, and drain oil, tilting the main unit toward the oil rell
port.
Drain oil in a container for orderly disposal.
5) Keep the engine level, and feed new oil up to the edge of the oil rell port.
In rell, use a lubricant rell container.
