Blade Cover Removal
1. Turn the blade cover slowly until the cover latch is clear of the
debris shield.
Unfasten the latch by lifting the tab off the post.
2. Pull the post end away from the blade and set it on top of the blade
as shown.
3. Turn the blade cover slowly until the post end is clear of the debris
shield, then remove the blade cover from the blade.
Blade Cover Installation
1. Install the blade cover over the blade so half of the blade is
covered.
To prevent the post end from interfering with the debris shield, pull
the post end away from the blade and set it on top of the blade as
shown above.
2. Turn the blade cover slowly until the post end clears the debris
shield.
3. Reposition the post end over the blade.
4. With the blade cover fully seated on the blade, latch the tab over
the post.
ENGINE OIL
The trimmer is shipped WITHOUT OIL in the engine.
1. Place the trimmer on a level surface then remove the oil filler
cap/dipstick.
2. Slowly add the recommended oil (included in the box) to the
bottom edge of the oil filler opening. Do not overfill, as the engine
oil tank capacity is small.
3. If the supplied oil is not used, add enough SAE 10W-30 API
service category SJ or later oil. Add oil until the oil level is to the
bottom edge of the oil filler opening.
NOTICE
Running the engine with too little or too much oil can cause engine
damage.
4. Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
