SERVICING YOUR HONDA TRIMMER
ENGINE
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level before each use, or
every 10 hours if operated continuously. Rest the
trimmer on a level surface, with the engine
stopped and in an upright position.
1. Remove the filler cap/dipstick and wipe it
clean.
2. Insert and remove the dipstick without
screwing it into the filler opening. Check the
oil level shown on the dipstick.
3. If the oil level is low, fill to the edge of the oil
filler hole with the recommended oil (see
page 27). To avoid overfilling or underfilling,
be sure the engine is in a level position, as
shown.
Running the engine with too little or too much
oil can cause engine damage.
4. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
Engine Oil Change
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm.
Warm oil drains quickly and completely.
1. Place a suitable container below the engine to
catch the used oil, then remove the filler cap/
dipstick and drain the used oil through the
filler opening. Allow the used oil to drain
completely.
Improper disposal of engine oil can be
harmful to the environment. If you change
your own oil, please dispose of the used oil
properly. Put it in a sealed container, and take
it to a recycling center. Do not discard it in a
trash bin or dump it on the ground.
2. With the engine in an upright position, fill to
the edge of the oil filler hole with the
recommended oil (see page 27).
Engine oil capacity: HHT25S 2.7 fl oz (80 cc)
HHT31S 3.4 fl oz (100 cc)
3. Screw in the filler cap/dipstick securely.
