Engine Oil; Before Operation - Honda HHT35S Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL

The trimmer is shipped WITHOUT OIL in the
engine.
1. Place the trimmer on a level surface then
remove the oil filler cap/dipstick.
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
Refer to Refueling section of the SERVICING
YOUR TRIMMER chapter (page 39).

cover is not removed, the blade cover may fly off
at high speed during test operation. Reinstall the
blade cover when the trimmer is not being used.
