Be sure to stop the engine before
checking and changing the engine
oil and the oil filter cartridge.
A
Do not touch muffler or exhaust
pipes while they are hot; Severe
burns could result. Always stop the
engine and allow it to cool before

your skin. Put on gloves when using
engine oil. If you come in contact
with engine oil, wash it off
immediately.
A
Do not operate a diesel engine when engine oil is
overfilled. This oil can drain through the air intake
system, which causes engine disacceleration and oil
leaks from breather pipings. It could result in a over-
running or oil hammering of engine in case of the
engine with suction blow-by gases breathered in.

than 5 minutes after stopping the engine.
