CAUTION: Air cooled engines run
hotter than automotive engines. The
use of non-synthetic multi-viscosity
oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) in tempera-
tures above 40"F (4"C) will result in
higher than normal oil consumption.
When using a multi-viscosity oil,
check oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from
running low on oil.
*CAUTION: Synthetic oil must be
used when operating engine under
40"F (4"C) or engine damage will oc-
cur.
**CAUTION: SAE 30 oil, if used be-
low 50°F (10°C), will result in hard
starting and possible engine damage
due to inadequate lubrication.
ADD OIL
Your trimmer is shipped without oil in
the engine. The engine holds approxi-
mately 3 fluid ounces (90 ml) of oil
when at the FULL mark on the oil dip-
stick. Included with this trimmer is a 3.4
ounce (90 ml) container of SAE 30 SJ-
SL oil for properly filling the engine with
oil for first time use only. Pour the entire
contents of this 3.4 ounce container of
oil into the oil fill spout.
NOTE: The dipstick will show slightly
above FULL. This is acceptable for
first time use only as the engine
breaks in. After the first time oil fill, sim-
ply refill the engine with oil to the FULL
mark on the dipstick as needed.
CAUTION: DO NOT overfill engine with
oil or it will smoke on start-up.
CAUTION: KEEP ENGINE LEVEL
---- r ------ ....
Engine must be level, with oil fill facing
up, to check oil. If engine is not level,
dipstick reading will not be accurate.
This will lead to possible over or under
filling causing damage to the engine.
Check oil level before starting the en-
gine.
• Check oil level before every use.
• Keep oil level at FULL.
• DO NOToverfill. Use a measure cup for
filling.
• Add only 1 ounce--0.5 ounce at atime.
