WARNING
■ Used engine oil
●
Used engine oil contains poten-
tially harmful contaminants which
may cause skin disorders such as
inflammation and skin cancer, so
care should be taken to avoid pro-
longed and repeated contact. To
remove used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap
and water.
● Dispose of used oil and filters only
in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ters in household trash, in sewers
or onto the ground. Call a SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop, ser-
vice station or auto parts store for
information concerning recycling or
disposal.
●
Do not leave used engine oil within
the reach of children.
