SERVICE INFORMATION

GENERAL

t

This section describes how to inspect and replace the engine oil and clean the oil filter screen.

• If engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine in an enclosed
area. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause loss of conciousness and may lead to death.
Run the engine in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation system in an eclosed area.

• Used engine 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.
