WARNING
Improper handling of engine oil can cause severe burns and
other serious injuries.
Always wear eye protection.
Engine oil is poisonous and must be stored out of the reach
of children.
Store engine oil only in the closed original container. This
also applies to used oil until disposal.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never drain the oil into emp-
ty food or beverage containers that might mislead someone in-
to drinking from them.
Continuous contact with used engine oil is harmful to your
skin. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with
soap and water.
Engine oil becomes extremely hot when the engine is run-
ning and can cause severe burns. Always let the engine cool
down to the touch.
Like all other operating fluids, engine oil can pollute the environ-
ment. Collect leaked or spilled operating fluids and dispose of them
