Engine Oil
CAUTION
Engine shipped without oil. Failure to add oil will result in
serious engine damage.
A bottle of engine oil is included with your blower. Refer
to the chart on the right for alternative oil types to use
at different temperatures. Always use a high quality
detergent oil classified "For Service, SG, SH, SJ" or higher.
Do not use special additives.
CAUTION
Always use recommended oil type. Using dirty oil or
incorrect oil type such as 2-stroke engine oil will shorten
engine life.

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. Set walk behind blower on a level surface.
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.
7. Clean up any spilled oil.
