ADDING/CHECKING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See Figure 7.
NOTICE:
Attempting to start the engine before it has been properly
filled with lubricant will result in equipment failure.
Engine lubricant has a major influence on engine perfor-
mance and service life. This unit is shipped with Ryobi
4-cycle 20W50 engine lubricant. For best operating perfor-
mance, continued use of this lubricant is recommended.
NOTE: Always use a 4-stroke engine lubricant that meets
or exceeds the requirements for API service classification
SJ. SAE 30, 10W30, or 10W40 are all acceptable lubricants
to use in this product. Non-detergent or 2-stroke engine
lubricants will damage the engine and should not be used.
Check lubricant level before each use.
To add engine lubricant:
 Remove the cap and seal from lubricant bottle provided.
 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
 Using funnel provided, add entire bottle of engine lubricant
through oil fill hole.
 Reinstall the oil cap/dipstick and secure.
To check engine lubricant level:
 Separate the attachment from the power head.
 Set power head on a flat level surface with shaft parallel
to surface.
 Unscrew the oil cap/dipstick and remove.
 Wipe dipstick clean; re-seat in hole and rethread.
 Remove dipstick again and check lubricant level. Lubricant
level should fall within the hatched area on the dipstick.
 If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises
to the upper portion of the hatched area on the dipstick.
 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill. Overfilling the crankcase may cause
excessive smoke, lubricant loss, and engine damage.
