Before Starting The Engine - Makita bbx7600 Original Instruction

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Checking and Refilling Engine Oil
1) Follow the procedure below when the engine oil is cold i.e. the blower has
not been running.
• Inspection: Set the blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap.
Make sure that the oil level is within the upper and lower limit
marks on the oil level gauge. If the oil is not up to the 100mL level,
fill up with new oil.
• Adding Oil:Set the blower down on a level surface and remove the oil cap.
Fill the oil up to the upper limit of the oil level gauge.
2) On average, engine oil normally needs to be added after every 20 hours of
operation. This interval for every change in oil corresponds to refuelling the
blower approximately 10-15 times.
3) Please change the oil whenever it becomes dirty or significantly changes
color. (Refer to p.15 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 0.22 L (220 ml)
• 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 in an upright position.
• If the upper oil level limit is exceeded, the oil may become dirty and white smoke may appear due to burning excessive oil.
Check Point #1: The oil cap
• Wipe off dirt and grime around the opening before removing the oil cap.
• Remove the oil cap and place it on a clean surface so that it does not accumulate any sand, dirt, or other foreign materials. These may stick to
the cap and adulterate the engine oil. Dirty oil containing sand, dirt, or foreign materials may cause excessive wear on the engine due to
improper lubrication and cause a breakdown.
Check Point #2: Oil spillage
• Oil spillage on the outside on the blower may cause the engine oil becoming dirty or adulterated. Therefore, please wipe off any oil spillage
before starting the engine.
