Before Starting The Engine - Makita EB7650TH Original Instruction Manual

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Checking and Refilling Engine Oil
1) Perform the following procedure, with the engine cooled down.
Otherwise skin burn may result.
Inspection: Put the blower on a flat surface and remove the oil
●
cap.
Check the oil gauge (1). Make sure that the oil level is
within the upper (2) and lower (3) limit marks. If the oil
is not up to the 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) level (4), fill up with
new oil.
Filling oil: 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.
2) On average, engine oil needs to be added after every 20 hours of
operation (every 10 – 15 refuellings).
3) Change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or significantly changes
color. (Refer to "Replacement of engine oil" for the oil change
procedure and frequency.)
Recommended oil: Makita genuine oil or SAE10W-30 oil of API type SF grade or better (4 stroke motor oil for automobiles)
Oil capacity: Approximately 220 ml (7.4 fl oz)
NOTE:
If the blower is not stored in an upright position, the oil may flow from the level gauge into the engine and give a false reading when checking the
●
oil level. This may result in inadvertently overfilling whenever adding engine oil. Always store the blower in an upright position.
If the engine oil is exceeded, the oil may spill from the breather of the air cleaner and make surrounding parts dirty, or white smoke may appear
●
due to burning excessive oil.
Replacement of Oil "Oil cap"
Remove dust or dirt near the oil refill port, and detach the oil cap.
●
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.
After refilling oil
Wipe with a rag any spilled oil.
