Step 8: Add Oil and Gas
WARNING!: You must add oil before starting engine. There may be 1 to 2 ounces of oil
left in your machine from factory testing. Check dipstick while adding oil to avoid over
filling.
Please refer to your Engine Manual and put
the recommended amount of engine oil in the
oil fill. Use SAE30 High Detergent oil. Fill
the oil to the amount indicated on the dipstick.
Do not overfill (Figure 14).
Reminder: To avoid confusion, we
recommend leaving the caps on the fuel and
oil fills until you are ready to pour either
gasoline or oil into the correct fill.
Fill the gas tank to within 1/4 inch of the top
with fresh, unleaded gas. (See your engine
manual for more detailed fuel
recommendations.)
Caution: Once you have added the oil and
gas, avoid tipping the trimmer back on its handlebars. Doing so will cause the cylinder to fill with oil.
If you need to reach the underside of the trimmer, drain the oil and gas first, or set the machine up
on a workbench.
Step 9: Connect the Battery Wires (Electric-Starting models only)
To prevent the battery from discharging
during shipment, all electric-starting
trimmers are shipped with the black, negative
battery wire disconnected. Connect the two
black wires by pushing the plastic ends
together (Figure 15). See the red wires for
comparison. The wires are located on the left
front side when standing in the operator's
position.
