FILLING WITH OIL AND GASOLINE
Keep the caps on the fuel and oil lls until you are ready
to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct ll. Requires
approximately 15 - 22 ounces of SAE 30 engine oil.
Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed
information on oil quantity and cold temperature oil
specications.
1. Place the string trimmer on a level surface and initially
add
1
/
2
of the SAE 30 high detergent oil into the oil ll
(see Figure 7) and wait one (1) minute for the oil to
settle.
2. Check the dipstick and continue adding a few ounces
of oil at a time, rechecking the dipstick until the oil
reaches the ll mark. Be careful not to overll.
3. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, unleaded gas (min. 85
Octane), to 1/4” from the top of the ll neck to allow
for expansion. Be careful not to overll and reinstall
the cap before starting the engine.
Allow the engine to cool for at least two minutes before
removing the fuel cap.
Before performing any adjustments to the cutting head,
cutting cords or any other procedure or inspection, stop
the engine, wait ve minutes to allow parts to cool.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the
spark plug. Contact with internal rotating parts will cause
serious personal injury. Never put hands, face, feet,
or clothing under the string trimmer deck or discharge
opening at any time.
