FILIJADD OIL:
This Edger/Trimmer was shipped with a 20
ounce container of SAE30 motor oil. This
oil must be added to the engine before
operating. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick
to fill the crankcase. DO NOT OVERFILL.
NOTE: Engine may already contain some
residual oil. Check frequently when filling
the crankcase.
OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Only use high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SG. Select
the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to
your expected operating temperature.
A{though mu{ti-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30,
etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these
multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil
consumption when used above 32°F.
Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible engine damage from
running low on oil.
