ENGINE OIL CHANGE

nated intervals. Maintain the oil at the proper lev’el.
OIL CHANGE INTERVAL: Every year, before operation.
RECOMMENDED OIL: Use oil of API service classification SE, SAE 5W-30.
QUANTITY SPECIFIED: 0.7 liter(0.74 US qt, 0.62 Imp qt)
HOW TO CHANGE THE OIL:

2.
3.
Remove the oil filler gauge. Drain the oil by tilting the handle down, as illustrated;
the oil will pour out of the oil inlet. Drain the oil while the engine is still warm, to
assure rapid and complete draining.
Fill with new oil up to the upper limit, as indicated by the oil filler gauge. (In
checking the oil level with the oil filler gauge, do not screw the gauge in.)
After replacing the oil, securely tighten the oil filler gauge.

CAUTION: If YOU drain the oil immediately after stopping the engine, its tempera-
ture will be high and may cause burns.
Before you drain the oil, be sure to turn the fuel valve knob to the OFF position.
Otherwise, fuel may leak from the carburetor.
CAUTION: 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 en-
vironment. 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.
