Engine oil replacement
Engine oil quality is the primary factor that af fects engine lon-
gevity. Change your scooter's engine oil as specified in the
maintenance schedule (see page 45 or 48).
NOTE: When riding your scooter in very dusty conditions,
oil changes should be performed more frequently than
specified in the maintenance schedule.
NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in a environ-
mentally responsible manner. You should take the drain
oil in a sealed container to your local recycling center or
service station for reclamation. Do not throw the oil in the
trash, pour it on the ground, or pour it down a drain.
NOTE: Change the engine oil with the engine at normal
operating temperature and the scooter on its center stand
to assure complete and rapid draining.
Prolonged contact with used engine oil can cause skin
cancer. Although rare, this possibly exists if you handle oil
on a frequent basis. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap
and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.
