Handling
the
Lube
Oil
1)
When handling and storing lube oil, be
careful not to allow dust and water
to
enter the lube oil. Clean around the
filter port before refilling.
2)
Do not mix lube oils of different types
or
brands. Mixing may cause the
chemical characteristics of the lube oil
to
change and lubricating performance
to
drop, reducing the engine's life.
Before supplying lube oil
to
the engine
and marine gear for the first time,
extract
all the lube oil already
in
the
tank. Use new
lube oil.
3)
Lube oil supplied to the engine will
undergo natural degeneration with time
even when the engine is not used.
Lube
oil should be replaced at the
specified
intervals, regardless of
whether the engine is being used or
not.

3.1.3
Cooling
Water
It is important
to
check the cooling water
daily. Be sure
to
use clean soft water (tap
water) for
cooling fresh water.
NOTICE
Be
sure
to
add
antirust
or
anti-
freeze
to
cooling
fresh
water.
In
cold
seasons,
the
antifreeze is
especially
important.
Without
antirust,
cooling
perfor-
mance
will
drop
due
to
scale
and
rust
in
the
cooling
water
system.
Without
antifreeze,
cooling
water
will
freeze and expand,
breaking
various parts.
For
your
reference, antifreeze
mixed
with
antirust
is
now
avail-
able
in
the
market.
