Changing the engine oil
WARNING
Danger of burn injury!
If it is necessary to bleed the engine oil when the oil
is still hot, avoid contact with the oil and wear eye
protection to avoid burn injuries.
Failure to comply with regulations may result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
Only use designated oil. Other types of oil may affect
quality of use and shorten the service life of the en-
gine or internal parts.
Avoid contamination of the engine by dirt or dust. Be-
fore removing the oil cap, carefully clean the oil cap/
dipstick and surrounding areas.
Avoid mixing different brands of oil. Mixing different
brands of oil will seriously affect lubrication.
Avoid overfilling. Overfilling may result in white
smoke, over speed or internal damage.
CAUTION
Please pay attention to environmental protection.
Dispose of used oil according to related laws and
regulations. Failure to comply with laws and regula-
tions will result in serious damage to the environ-
ment.
Comply with EPA guidelines or government meas-
ures for the correct handling of hazardous materials
(such as oil, diesel and engine coolant).
Irresponsible handling of hazardous materials, such
as dumping hazardous waste into water channels, on
the ground, into groundwater or drainage ditches, is
prohibited.
Drain the oil using the following steps:
– Ensure that the engine is in a horizontal po-
sition.
– Start the engine and run until it reaches op-
erating temperature.
– Stop the engine.
