ENGINE OIL

The trimmer is shipped WITHOUT OIL in the engine.
1. Place the trimmer on a level surface, and then remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
OIL FILLER OPENING
2. Slowly add the recommended oil (included in the box) to the
bottom edge of the oil filler opening. Do not overfill, as the engine
oil tank capacity is small.
3. If the supplied oil is not used, add enough SAE 10W-30 API
service category SJ or later oil. Add oil until the oil level is to the
bottom edge of the oil filler opening.
NOTICE
Running the engine with too little or too much oil can cause engine
damage.
4. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
FUEL
See page 17.

when the trimmer is not being used.

following sections.
