Do not use oils with a diesel specification
of “CD” or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or high-
er.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

WARNING
Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability. Observe these precautions:

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to en-
ter the brake system, reducing braking per-
formance.


Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer.


Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.


Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4 may
result in a harmful chemical reaction.


Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor lock.
