HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
Fill With Oil
This Edger was shipped with a 20 ounce container of SAE30 motor oil. Add this oi! to the engine before operating. To fill the crank case, remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and add the SAE30 motor oil. DO NOT OVERFILL.
NOTE: The engine may contain a small amount of oil. When adding oil, frequently insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and check the amount of oil in the engine. DO NOT OVERFILl.
Oi! Recommendations
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API service classification SG. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your ex pected operating temperature. Although mul ti-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32 degrees. Check the engine oil level more frequently to avoid pos sible engine damage from running the en gine low on oil.
