Engine Oil
NOTICE
Engine shipped without oil. Failure to add oil will result in
serious engine damage.
A bottle of engine oil is included with your edger. Refer
to the chart on the right for alternative oil types to use at
different temperatures. Always use a high quality detergent
oil classified "For Service, SG, SH, SJ" or higher. Do not
use special additives.
Always use recommended oil type. Using dirty oil or
incorrect oil type such as 2-stroke engine oil will shorten
engine life.
NOTE: Engine Oil Capacity is 355 ml.
HOW TO CHECK OIL LEVEL AND FILL TO PROPER LEVEL
WARNING
Before checking oil, make sure engine is off, and spark
plug wire has been disconnected from spark plug.
1. Place the edger on a level surface and make sure the
adjustable wheel heights are set so the main frame of the
edger is level. (See Figure 3)
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.
(See Figure 3)
3. Insert dipstick into fill spout but do NOT screw in.
Remove dipstick and check oil level.
4. When oil level is full, the oil will be at upper limit on dip
stick. If oil level is near or below the lower limit, oil must
be added. (See Figure 4)
5. Add oil slowly until the oil level reaches the upper limit of
the dipstick. Use a funnel or nozzle to reduce spillage.
NOTICE
Frequently check oil level while filling. DO NOT
OVERFILL. DO NOT UNDERFILL. Running engine at
improper oil level will seriously damage engine.
6. Replace and tighten dipstick.
7. Clean up any spilled oil.
