● Take special care when working in the
engine compartment!
● If the vapor or coolant spills, do not
immediately open the engine hood so as to
avoid scald.
● Do not touch the radiator fan even if the
engine is stalled since the fan may suddenly
rotate.
● To prevent scald, cover the filler port cap
with one thick cloth when opening it.
● When opening the coolant filler cap, take
special care since the cooling system will
present high pressure if the engine is still in
hot state. Before loosening the cap, allow
the engine to fully cool down.

Notes about oil grade selection
1. Select the oil with API grade of SN or above.
2. SAE 5W - 30 is commonly used engine oil.
3. In regions with the north latitude of above 40°, SAE 0W - 40 engine oil should be used in winter.
The corresponding oil grade should be related according to the different environmental temperature requirements:
0 W 5 W 10 W 20 W 20 30 40 50 60
0 W -40
5 W -30
5 W -40
