IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Given that engine oil also lubricates the clutch, if it is not the
right type or if it contains additives, it could cause the clutch
to slip. Therefore, we recommend not adding any chemical
additives or using oils of other types than the one listed in the
technical specifi cations for the engine.
Engine oil, whether new or spent, can be dangerous.
If ingested, engine oil may be poisonous to people or pets. In the
event of ingestion, seek medical attention immediately; do not
provoke vomiting to avoid breathing the product into the lungs.
Brief contact with engine oil may irritate the skin.
•
Keep the engine oil out of reach of children and pets.
• Wear long-sleeved clothing and waterproof gloves every
time you top up the engine oil.
• Wash off any oil that has come into contact with the skin
with soap and water.
