WARNING

Incorrect handling of engine oil can cause serious burns and injuries.

Always wear eye protection when handling engine oil.

Engine oil is toxic and must be stored out of the reach of children.

Engine oil must be kept in the closed original container. This also applies to used oil until it is disposed of.

Never use empty food containers, bottles or other containers to store engine oil as other people may then drink the engine oil.

Regular contact with engine oil can damage the skin. Skin that has been in contact with engine oil should be washed thoroughly with water and soap.

Engine oil becomes extremely hot when the engine is running and can scald skin severely. Always allow the engine to cool down.

Leaking or spilt engine oil can pollute the environment. Spilt operating fluids must be collected and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment.
