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.
CAUTION
Frequently check oil level while filling. DO NOT OVERFILL.
DO NOT UNDERFILL. Running engine at improper oil level
will seriously damage engine.
6. Replace and tighten dipstick.
