General information
The lubrication system is a mixed type, pressure and splash, full-flow. The engine is lubricated under pressure, created by a pump and driven by the crankshaft. Oil is sucked in by the oil pump through a mesh filter and an oil intake pipe, then passes under pressure through a full-flow oil filter and enters the rubbing surfaces of the engine. Holes are drilled in the crankshaft, through which oil is supplied from the main (bearings to the connecting rod journals of the crankshaft).
Warning: Prolonged skin contact with mineral oil will strip away the natural oils from human skin, causing dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used motor oil contains potentially harmful substances that can cause skin cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to protect the skin and use appropriate detergents.
Recommended precautions
- The most effective precaution is to use work methods that virtually eliminate skin contact with mineral oil. For example, use closed waste oil collection systems, washing machines to clean parts from oil and grease before starting work.
- Avoid prolonged skin contact with oils, especially used motor oils.
- Wear protective clothing and impervious gloves.
- Avoid contamination of clothing, especially underwear, with oil.
- Where there is a risk of oil getting into the eyes, protective glasses should be worn.
- For open cuts and wounds, seek emergency medical attention.
- Wash your hands regularly with water and soap. After washing, it is recommended to apply lanolin cream to your hands to restore the skin's fatty layer.
- It is prohibited to use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, diesel oil, solvents and thinners to clean your hands.
