How to Check Oil Level and Fill to Proper Level
WARNING
Before checking oil, make sure engine is off, and spark
plug wire has been disconnected from spark plug .
1 . Place the edger on a level surface and make sure the
adjustable wheel heights are set so the main frame of the
edger is level . (See Figure 3)
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.
(See Figure 3)
3. Insert dipstick into fill spout but do NOT screw in.
Remove dipstick and check oil level .
4 . When oil level is full, the oil will be at upper limit on dip
stick . If oil level is near or below the lower limit, oil must
be added . (See Figure 4)
5 . Add oil slowly until the oil level reaches the upper limit of
the dipstick . Use a funnel or nozzle to reduce spillage .
NOTICE
Frequently check oil level while filling . DO NOT OVERFILL .
DO NOT UNDER-FILL . Running engine at improper oil
level will seriously damage engine .
6 . Replace and tighten dipstick .
7 . Clean up any spilled oil .

Fuel
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and vapors can
explode if ignited. Handle with care.
Use fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87
or higher . Do not use gasoline containing more than 10%
ethanol . Use of non-ethanol fuel is best . We recommend
the continuous use of a fuel additive /stabilizer to
counteract the effects of ethanol . These additives also
prolong the shelf life of gasoline .
NOTICE
Using incorrect fuel type or contaminated fuel will cause
serious engine damage .
NOTE: Fuel tank capacity is approximately 1 .69 qt (1 .6L)
