• Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
• Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear
protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water-less hand
cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
• In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated
disposal sites.

Check the oil deterioration, entry of water, discoloring of thinning. If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
2. Check the engine oil level.
After engine warm up stop the engine wait 5 minutes then check the oil level. Oil level should be between the "L"

For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which :
1. Satisfy the requirement of the API or ILSAC classification.
2. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range.
3. Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and API or ILSAC service classification on the
container should not be used.
