BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Checking and Refilling Engine Oil
1) Follow the procedure below when the engine oil is cold i.e. the blower has not
been running.
䊶Inspection: Set the blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap. Verify
that the oil level is within the upper and lower limit marks on the oil
level gauge. If the oil is not up to the 100mL level, fill up with new oil.
䊶Adding Oil: Set the blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap. Fill the
oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge.
2) On average, engine oil normally needs to be added after every 20 hours of
operation. This interval for every change in oil corresponds to refueling the
blower approximately 10-15 times.
3) Please change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or significantly changes color.
(Refer to p. 15 for the oil change procedure and frequency.)
Recommended oil: DOLMAR genuine oil or SAE10W-30 oil of API type SF grade or better (4 stroke motor oil for automobiles)
Oil capacity: Approximately 0.22 L (220 ml)
Oil level gauge
Upper limit
Remain 100 mL
Lower limit
CAUTION
• If the blower is not stored in an upright position, the oil may flow from the level gauge into the engine and give a false reading when
checking the oil level. This may result in inadvertently overfilling whenever adding engine oil. Always store in an upright position.
• If the upper oil level limit is exceeded, this can result in the oil becoming dirty and white smoke from burning excess oil.
Check Point #1: Concerning the oil cap when adding oil㩷
㩷
• Wipe off dirt and grime around the opening before removing the oil cap.
• Remove the oil cap and place it on a clean surface so that it does not accumulate any sand, dirt, or other foreign bodies. These may
stick to the cap and adulterate the engine oil if proper care is not taken. Dirty oil containing sand, dirt, or foreign bodies may cause
excessive wear on the engine due to improper lubrication and result in a breakdown.
㩷
㩷㩷
Check Point #2: If oil is spilled when adding oil㩷
• Oil spillage on the outside on the blower may result in the engine oil becoming dirty or adulterated. Therefore, please wipe off any oil
spillage before starting the engine.

2. Fuel supply
WARNING
• When supplying the fuel, be sure to observe the following instructions to prevent ignition or fire:
− Fuel supply must be made in a place free of fire. Never bring the fire (smoking, etc.) near to the place of fuel supply.
− Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool down before fuel supply.
− Open the fuel tank cap full of fuel slowly. The fuel may sprout out under internal pressure.
− Take care not to spill the fuel. Any spilled fuel must be wiped clean.
− Carry out fuel supply in a well-ventilated place.
• Handle the fuel with care.
− Fuel sticking to the skin or entering an eye may cause allergies or irritation. When any physical abnormality is detected, consult the
medical specialist immediately.
STORAGE PERIOD OF FUEL
Fuel should be used up within a period of 4 weeks, even if it is kept in a special container in a well-ventilated shade.
If a special container is not used or if the container is not covered, fuel may deteriorate in one day.
㩷
• Keep the machine and tank at a cool place free from direct sunshine.
• Never keep the fuel in the cabin or trunk.
Storage of machine and refill tank㩷
㩷
㩷㩷
FUEL
The engine is a four-stroke engine. Be sure to use an automobile gasoline (regular gasoline or premium gasoline).
• Never use a gasoline mixture which contains engine oil. Otherwise, it will cause excessive carbon accumulation or mechanical
troubles.
• Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular startup.
When refueling the fuel, be sure to stop the engine and confirm that the engine cools down.
Points for Fuel㩷
㩷
㩷㩷
REFUELING METHOD
• Loosen the tank cap a little so that there will be no difference in atmospheric pressure.
• Detach the tank cap, and refuel, discharging air by tilting the fuel tank so that the refuel port will be oriented upward. (Never refill fuel full to the oil
refill port.)
• After refueling, securely tighten the tank cap.
• If there is any flaw or damage on the tank cap, replace it.
• The tank cap is consumable, and therefore should be renewed every two to three years.
