RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE
It is extremely important to use the proper type and
weight of oil in the crankcase. Check the oil before
each use and change the oil regularly. The use of
incorrect or dirty oil can cause premature engine wear
and failure.
Use a high-quality SAE 30 weight oil of API (American
Petroleum Institute) service class SF, SG, SH.
ADDING OIL TO CRANKCASE: INITIAL USE
NOTE: This unit is shipped without oil. To avoid
damaging the unit, put oil in the crankcase
before attempting to start it.
NOTE:
This 4-Cycle trimmer is shipped for
operation in conditions above 40°F (4°C).
For cold weather operation, where
temperatures dip below 40°F (4°C), use a
high-quality SAE 10W30 weight oil of API
(American Petroleum Institute) service class
SF, SG, SH.
1. Place the unit on a flat level surface. See
Figure 3
. It is crucial to keep the unit level when

The importance of checking and maintaining the
proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be
overemphasized. Check oil before each use and change
as specified in the Maintenance Schedule.
RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE

performance. Be sure to use fresh, clean, unleaded
petrol (gasoline).
