ENGINE OIL & STARINER SCREEN
When running in very dusty conditions, oil
changes should be performed more frequently
than specified in the maintenance schedule.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner
that is compatible with the environment. We
suggest you take it in a sealed container to
your local recycling center or service station
for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash
or pour it on the ground or down a drain.
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.
Change the engine oil with the engine at
normal operating temperature and the scooter
on its center stand to assure complete and
rapid draining.
Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick (1) from
the right crankcase cover.
Other viscosities shown in the chart may
be used when the average temperature in
your riding area is within the indicated
range.
