The lubrication method is a fully force-fed, full-flow fil-
tration type. The engine oil pump is a trochoid type
which is driven by the crankshaft <4G1>.The engine
oil pump is a gear type which is driven by the crank
-
shaft via the balancer timing belt <4G6>.
ENGINE OILS
Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi
-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful con-
taminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities must
be provided.
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them. Other precautions:
•Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
•Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
•Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under-
pants, with oil.
•Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls
without pockets will avoid this.
•Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separate from per
-
sonal clothing.
•Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protec-
tion should be worn, for example, chemical gog-
gles or face shields; in addition an eye wash
facility should be provided.
•Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
•Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all
oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After clean
-
ing, the application of preparations containing
lanolin to replace the natur al skin oils is advised.
•Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
•Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin after work.
•If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.
