Engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods. Although the skin cancer does not necessarily
happen, it is still advisable to thoroughly wash the skin that has contacted
engine oil with soap and water after handling engine oil.
For the sake of environment protection, please treat the used engine oil in an
appropriate way. We strongly advise you to store the used engine oil in a sealed
container and take it to the local service station or recycling center for reclamation.
Never throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground or into the ditch.

Never run the generator without the air filter, or rapid engine wear
will result.
