BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Checking and Refilling Engine Oil
1) Follow the procedure below when the engine oil is cold i.e. the mist blower has
not been running.
• Inspection: Set the blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap.
Verify that the oil level is within the upper and lower limit marks on
the oil level gauge. If the oil is not up to the 100 mL level, fill up with
new oil.
• Adding Oil: Set the mist blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap.
Fill the oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge.
2) On average, engine oil normally needs to be added after every 20 hours of
operation. This interval for every change in oil corresponds to refueling the mist
blower approximately 10-15 times.
3) Please change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or significantly changes color.
(Refer to P. 23 for the oil change procedure and frequency.)
Recommended oil: MAKITA genuine oil or SAE10W-30 oil of API type SF grade or
better (4 stroke motor oil for automobiles)
Oil capacity: Approximately 0.22 L (220 ml)
CAUTION:
• If the mist blower is not stored in an upright position, the oil may flow from the level gauge into the engine and give a false reading when
checking the oil level. This may result in inadvertently overfilling whenever adding engine oil. Always store in an upright position.
• If the upper oil level limit is exceeded, this can result in the oil becoming dirty and white smoke from burning excess oil.
Check Point #1: Concerning the oil cap when adding oil
• Wipe off dirt and grime around the opening before removing the oil cap.
• Remove the oil cap and place it on a clean surface so that it does not accumulate any sand, dirt, or other foreign bodies. These may stick
to the cap and adulterate the engine oil if proper care is not taken. Dirty oil containing sand, dirt, or foreign bodies may cause excessive
wear on the engine due to improper lubrication and result in a breakdown.
