ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE OIL
CAUTION:
Attempting to start the engine before it has been
properly filled with lubricant will result in equipment
failure not covered by the warranty.
Engine lubricant has a major influence on engine
performance and service life. This unit is shipped
without engine lubricant.
Always use a 4-cycle engine lubricant that meets or
exceeds the requirements for API service classification
SJ. SAE 30, 10W30, or 10W40 are all acceptable
lubricants to use in this product. Non- detergent or
2-stroke engine lubricants will damage the engine and
should not be used. Check lubricant level before
each use.

provided.
2. Pour 60 ml of 4-cycle engine lubricant oil into
lubricant bottle with a funnel.
3. Unscrew the oil cap from the engine and remove.
4. Pour 60 ml of oil into the oil fill hole. Replace and
tighten the oil cap.
CHECK ENGINE OIL: BEFORE EACH
USE
1. Separate the attachment from the power head.
2. Set power head on a flat level surface with shaft
parallel to surface.
3. Unscrew the oil cap and remove.
4. Lubricant level should fall within the top of the oil fill
hole (the top of screw thread).

Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause
excessive smoke, oil loss, and engine damage.
FUELING AND REFUELING
WARNING:
Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. To prevent serious personal injury and
property damage, handle it with care. Keep away from
ignition sources and open flames, handle outdoors only,
do not smoke and wipe up spills immediately. Always
shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a
machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least
30 ft. from refueling site before starting engine. Do not
smoke and stay away from open flames and sparks.
Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely.
Failure to safely handle fuel could result in serious
personal injury.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap by turning
counterclockwise. Rest the cap on a clean surface.
2. Carefully pour fuel into the tank. Avoid spillage.
3. Immediately replace fuel cap and hand tighten by
turning it clockwise. Wipe up any spilled fuel.
NOTE: Visually inspect to see if fuel level is low. If
fuel is low, refill with unleaded fuel carefully without
overfilling and tighten the fuel tank cap immediately.
• This unit has a 4-cycle engine. Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
• The use of old fuel is the most common cause
of performance problems. Use only fresh, clean
unleaded gasoline (less than 30 days old). Dispose
of old fuel according to federal, state and local
regulations.
• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing
the unit.
• Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater
than 10% ethanol) in this product. It will damage the
unit and void the warranty.
