If necessary, top up engine oil level as
follows:
u Unscrew and remove the filler plug (1).
CAUTION
When warm, the engine contains hot oil
and the oil tank is warm; therefore take
extreme care in performing the
operations described below to avoid
burns.
CAUTION
Before unscrewing and removing the
filler cap, clean it and the area of the
tank around it with a clean cloth.
Prevent any foreign matter from falling
into the oil tank, this could cause
serious engine damage.
Do not use any flammable solvents
such as alcohol or gasoline when
wiping the oil tank. The oil tank is hot
enough to cause ignition of flammable
solvents.
Use only a natural fiber cloth, such as
cotton. Man made fabrics such as
polyester, etc. may ignite.
CAUTION
Use thick gloves to prevent burns.
CAUTION
Do not add any additives or other
products to the oil.
If you use a funnel or other tools, make
sure that they are perfectly clean.
NOTE Use high-quality 5W - 40 oil, see
page 106 (LUBRICANT CHART).
Top up to correct level, see page 106
(LUBRICANT CHART).

unapproved oil. Any of these will greatly
accelerate wear of your engine, and
cause irreparable damage.
