NOTICE
If the engine oil pressure is too low,
the low oil pressure warning light will
illuminate.
If the low oil pressure indicator
remains on, stop the engine
immediately and investigate the
situation.
Running the engine with low oil
pressure will cause severe engine
damage.
▼ Turn the ignition OFF, check the
engine oil level using the method
previously described, and top up to
between the minimum and maximum
level lines in the sight glass.

Do not add any chemical additives to
the engine oil. The engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and any additives
could cause the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-
detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil
not conforming to the required
specification. The use of these oils may
cause instant, severe engine damage.
Make sure that no foreign matter enters
the crankcase during an engine oil
change or top up.
