Add Engine Oil
The trimmer is shipped WITHOUT OIL in the engine.
Place the trimmer on a level
surface, and then remove
the oil filler cap/dipstick.
A bottle of oil is included in
the box with your trimmer.
Add the entire contents of
the oil bottle into the oil filler
opening.
All Honda engines are run at
the factory prior to
packaging. Most of the oil is
removed prior to shipment;
however, some oil remains in
the engine. The amount of oil left in the engine varies.
If not using the supplied oil, add enough recommended oil (
page 16 )
to bring the oil level to the bottom edge of the oil filler hole.
Do not overfill the engine with oil, as the oil tank capacity is small.
NOTICE
Running the engine with too little or too much oil can cause engine
damage. This type of damage is not covered by the
DISTRIBUTOR’S
LIMITED WARRANTY ( page 30 ).
Screw in the oil filler cap/dipstick securely.
