Engine Oil Tank

Engine oil level
30
CAUTION: Running the engine with insufficient oil
can cause serious engine damage.
Be sure to check the engine on a level surface with
the engine stopped.
1. Remove the oil filler cap (A, Fig.30) and check the oil level: it
should reach the top of the oil filler neck (B).
2. If the level is low, fill to the top (C, Fig.31) of the oil filler neck
with the recommended oil.
Add the engine oil slowly to avoid overflowing, as the engine oil
tank capacity is small.
Every 10 hours, check the engine oil level and replenish oil up to
the top of the oil filler neck if the engine is operated for more than
10 hours continuously.

lity motor oil certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manu-
facturer's requirements for service classifications SG, SF. Motor
oils classified SG, SF will show this designation on the container.
SAE10W-30 (Fig.32) is recommended for general, all temperatu-
re use.
CAUTION: Using nondetergent oil or 2-stroke engine
oil could shorten the engine's service life.

°F (–5 °C to 40 °C).

Preparation for Cutting

32
WARNING: When using rigid blades, avoid cutting
close to fences, sides of buildings, tree trunks,
stones or other such objects that could cause the
brush cutter to kick out or could cause damage to the
blade. We recommends use of the nylon line heads
for such jobs. In addition, be alert to an increased
possibility of ricochets in such situations.
WARNING: The brush cutter is normally to be used at
ground level with the cutting attachment parallel to
the ground. Use of a brush cutter above ground level
or with the cutting attachment perpendicular to the
ground may increase the risk of injury, since the
cutting attachment is more fully exposed and the
brush cutter may be more difficult to control. Never
use your brush cutter as a hedge trimmer.
