BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Checking and refill of engine oil
CAUTION:
When refilling with engine oil, stop the engine
and wait for the engine to cool down.
Otherwise skin burn may
result.
NOTICE:
Use of deteriorated oil will cause irregular start-up.
NOTICE:
Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port before
detaching the oil cap. Also, keep the detached oil cap free of
sand or dust.
Otherwise, any sand or dust adhering to the oil cap
may cause irregular oil circulation or wear on the engine parts,
which will result in troubles.

Inspection
Put the blower on a flat surface and remove the oil cap.
Check the oil gauge. Make sure that the oil level is within the upper
and lower limit marks. If the oil is not up to the 100 ml level, fill up with
new oil.
Change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or significantly changes
color. (Refer to “Replacing engine oil” for the oil change procedure
and frequency.)
Refill
Put the blower on a flat surface and remove the oil cap.
Fill the oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge.
On average, engine oil needs to be added after every 20 hours of
operation (every 10 – 15 refuellings).
Recommended oil
•
Makita/Dolmar genuine 4-stroke engine oil or
•
API grade SF class or higher, SAE 10W-30 oil (automobile
4-stroke engine oil)
Oil capacity
Approximately 220 ml
NOTICE:
Store the blower in an upright position on flat sur
-
face.
The oil gauge does not indicate correct amount of oil if the
blower is leaned and oil is flown into the engine. It may result in
filling too much oil.
NOTICE:
Do not fill with excessive oil.
Excessive oil may spill
from the breather of the air cleaner and make surrounding parts
dirty, or white smoke may appear due to burning oil.
After refilling with oil
Wipe spilled oil with a rag.
Fuel supply
WARNING:
When refuelling, stop the engine and wait for
the engine to cool down.
Otherwise ignition, fire, or skin burn may
result.
WARNING:
Fuel supply must be made in a place free of fire
to prevent ignition or fire. Never bring the fire (smoking, etc.)
near the place of fuel supply.
WARNING:
Refuel on flat surface. Do not refuel on unsta
-
ble place. Refuel in good light and visibility.
WARNING:
Open the fuel tank cap slowly.
The fuel may be
spilled out by internal pressure.
WARNING:
Take care not to spill the fuel. Wipe spilled fuel.
WARNING:

Never use gasoline mixed with any oil such as 2
stroke oil or motor oil.
Otherwise, it causes excessive carbon
accumulation or mechanical troubles.
