●
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives with
the oil or use oils of grade “CD”
or higher. In addition, do not
use oils labeled “ENERGY CON-
SERVING II” or higher.
●
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.

necessary.
