SERVICING YOUR HONDA STICK EDGER

20

ENGINE

Engine Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level before each use, or
every 10 hours if operated continuously. Rest
the stick edger 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 21). To avoid overfilling or underfilling,
be sure the engine is in a level position,
as shown.

NOTICE

Running the engine with too little or too
much oil can cause engine damage.

4. Tighten 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.

NOTICE

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 21).

Engine oil capacity: 3.38 fl oz (0.11US qt,
100 cc)

3. Tighten the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
