MAINTENANCE REQUIRED
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Check the oil level before each use. The importance of
maintaining the proper oil level cannot be overemphasized.
Failure to keep the engine level may result in a faulty oil
level reading.If the oil level is too high, tip the unit and drain
the excess oil into an appropriate container.
DO NOT overfill the oil level. Overfilling will result in too
much oil in the engine crankcase, and may cause smoke or
fumes that can injure the user.
Inspecting the Oil Level
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Set the unit on a flat, level surface, such as a workbench
or table. The cutting head shield should hang over the
edge so that the engine is level.
3. Unscrew the oil fill plug. The oil level should be visible
on the first thread of the oil reservior (Fig. 20). If the oil
level is too low, add oil. Refer to "ADDING OIL".
Adding Oil
1. Clean the area around the oil fill plug to prevent debris
from entering the oil fill hole.
2. Unscrew the oil fill plug.
3. Add oil to the oil fill hole until the oil level is visible on the
first thread of the oil reservoir (Fig. 20).
4. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
5. Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug.
6. Reinstall the oil fill plug.
Changing The Oil
Old engine oil is considered special waste and has to be
disposed according to your local environment protection
regulation. Do not pour the oil into a garbage can, sewer,
soil etc.Dispose of the old oil according to federal, state and
local regulations.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow
freely and carry away more impurities.
1. Clean the area around the oil fill plug to prevent debris
from entering the oil fill hole.
2. Unscrew the oil fill plug.
3. Tip the unit vertically to pour the oil out of the oil fill
hole and into a container (Fig. 21). Allow ample time for
complete drainage.
4. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
5. Pour 2.03 fl.oz. (60 ml) of SAE 10W-30 oil into the oil
fill hole.
6. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
7. Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug.
8. Reinstall the oil fill plug.
MAINTAINING THE AIR FILTER
Failure to maintain the air filter can result in poor
performance or can cause permanent damage to the
engine.
