INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

not to allow entry of foreign matters
such as dust and water into oil chamber.
Wipe off engine oil well immediately if
spilled and dispose of it in accordance
with local fire prevention and environ-
ment protection regulations.
Do not replenish engine oil over upper
limit. If overfilled, remove oil to upper
limit. If engine oil is over the upper limit,
it can leak potentially leading to engine
damage.
If the oil level is low, or at lowest mark, add
recommended oil to the middle dipstick
mark.
