[. . . ] 08L Note: If the engine is not kept upright, oil may go into around the engine, and may be refilled excessively. If the oil is filled above the limit, the oil may be contaminated or may catch fire with white smoke. ­ Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port, and detach the oil gauge. ­ Keep the detached oil gauge free of sand or dust. Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil gauge may cause irregular oil circulation or wear on the engine parts, which will result in troubles. Top up with oil until oil level reaches internal stepped section (upper limit). The area between the external upper and lower limits is transparent, so oil level can be checked externally against these marks. (1) Keep the engine level, and detach the oil cap. Insufficient tightening may cause oil leakage. Do not replace oil with the engine in a tilted position. Filling with oil while engine is tilted leads to overfilling which causes oil contamination and/or white smoke. ­ If oil spills out between the fuel tank and engine main unit, the oil is sucked into through the cooling air intake port, which will contaminate the engine. Be sure to wipe out spilt oil before start of operation. It is necessary to handle fuel with utmost care. fuel may contain substances similar to solvents. Refueling must be performed in a sufficiently ventilated room or in the open air. Never inhale fuel vapor, and keep fuel away from you. If you touch fuel repeatedly or for a long time, the skin becomes dry, which may cause skin disease or allergy. If fuel enters into the eye, clean the eye with fresh water. If your eye remains still irritated, consult your doctor. Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade. If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.
